Good news-you still have until tomorrow to slap that \Hooray For Oppressive Ideological Institutions!"" button onto your backpack in support of our fearless leader's decree branding this ""Marriage Protection Week.""
Since Quentin Tarantino made a huge splash with \Pulp Fiction,"" he had only directed the Elmore Leonard adaptation ""Jackie Brown"" and one segment of the ill-conceived ""Four Rooms."" With Tarantino lying dormant, cheap knockoffs of his dark style, like Troy Duffy's hollow ""Boondock Saints"" and Roger Avary's miserable ""Rules of Attraction,"" failed, and more modest writer-directors like Wes Anderson came into vogue. Now, Tarantino has directed his first original script in nearly a decade in ""Kill Bill: Vol. 1"" and has done the unimaginable by exaggerating his already jarring style. The results are mixed.
Tanner Wray and Karl Debus-Lopez have the longest relationship of any of their friends, having met 20 years ago this week.
Bucky Badger does it all. He revs up the student section at home games, he does push-ups for each point scored at home football games and he even...well...abuses opposing mascots. Bucky is the life of the game, the rallying point behind the clean cheers the student section occasionally performs and the heart of the student body. But who is UW's beloved Bucky and why is he so popular?
As an attempt to address the grand issues of the loss of rural life and adaptation to modernization, \Red Betsy"" brings an emotional account of the generation gap to the big screen.
Madison is a multi-faceted city with something for everyone, even during the quieter summer months when most of the students are gone. Huge lakes attract anglers, water skiers and sunbathers. Winding trails and paths throughout the city provide routes for bikers, runners and those looking for a bit of solitude. Summer attractions often overlooked by students milling around campus are the city gardens, currently in full bloom. They present a fragrant and refreshing alternative to those looking for ways to spend a sunny afternoon.
Jennifer Karlin and Amelia Borofsky's \Regeneration: Telling Stories from Our Twenties"" is clearly targeted towards a college-aged crowed. The two editors have compiled numerous tales on a variety of subjects that hit close to home with all of us. Unfortunately, the absence of stories with a unique focus and strong individuality holds the collection back from reaching its true potential.
Considering the box-office success of independent culture-crossing comedy \My Big Fat Greek Wedding,"" it is wholly unsurprising to see British success ""Bend It Like Beckham"" hit U.S. screens. ""Beckham"" was a massive hit in Britain for obvious reasons. While not very innovative or original, the film executes the coming of age formula in a subtle way that most Hollywood comedies lack. Mixing culture, romance and soccer, ""Beckham"" knows how to make you care, despite its predictability.
This Valentine's Day, I was sitting with my ex-boyfriend, watching a documentary on the History Channel about the Playboy Mansion. It's a long, boring story why I chose to spend the big V with an ex, much less watching a three-hour festival of boobs. The shorter, more interesting story lies in the commercials we saw that night.
For those who read the movie poster for \A Guy Thing"" before entering the theatre, two things stand out. First is the movie's likable pair of Jason Lee (""Chasing Amy"") and Julia Stiles (""Save the Last Dance""). Second, the tag line reads, ""Boy meets girl. Boy meets girl's cousin."" With a horrid concept and script, ""A Guy Thing"" relies on the charisma of Lee and Stiles to generate any humor at all. Paul (Lee) is about to wed Karen (Selma Blair). His goal is to make it through his bachelor party without doing something he'll regret. He awakes the next morning next to a young dancer from the party, Becky (Stiles).
Well, usually I reserve this space for making fun of UW athletes or remarking on how NASCAR makes the American public dumber than it already is.
The first story of \A Brief History of the Flood"" beautifully sets the scene'the dysfunctional Andersons of Acorn Lake, Minn. begin decorating their pontoon boat for a float ""parade.""
On the night of Saturday, Nov. 2, I was in Milwaukee at a friend's wedding. When I returned Sunday afternoon, I got a call from a friend filling me in:
Dear Anal Obsessed Soc. 160 TA: My family is considerably wealthier than my future groom's family. We are planning a spring wedding and I'm wondering what the groom's family and the bride's side should pay for?
Except for this weekend's third Lecter movie, there truly aren't many options in the theaters for movie fans. If you don't want to subject yourself to \Sweet Home Alabama"" or ""The Tuxedo,"" and you're tired of hearing about ""My Big Fat Greek Wedding,"" what's a filmgoer to do? Turn to a former New Kid On The Block, of course.
This is a pretty dead movie week for non-Hannibophiles, so for this week's column, I'm going to talk about stuff going on in the movie world that's captured my interest.
Media are often referred to as the fourth branch of government. People say this because the media should have the same accountability. In the past few years, this has not been the case. Corporatization has pushed news media to entertain, rather than inform.
Last Friday, Tom Green and Jason Lee stole not only Harvard, but also time and money from several unfortunate moviegoers. Going into \Stealing Harvard,"" one might anticipate the similar antics that Tom Green provided us with in his last Oscar-worthy picture, ""Freddy Got Fingered."" However, with a lack of gruesome injuries, animal genitalia and sexual pleasure via bamboo, ""Stealing Harvard"" doesn't even compare. Although ""Freddy"" received some of the worst reviews in movie history, the film's ruthless attempt did provide some laughs. Stealing Harvard, however, accomplishes nothing of the sort.
