Combining Deftones heaviness with Frank Zappa weirdness (not to
mention a generous sprinkling of Rage Against the Machine political
activism), System of a Down inhabited a unique spot on the Venn
diagram of '00s hard rock. Not many bands could say they were
featured on the soundtracks of both ""Fahrenheit 9/11"" and ""Tony
Hawk Pro Skater 4."" They scored some success from their 1998
self-titled debut, particularly with ""Spiders"" and its Mansonian
video. It was 2001's Toxicity, however, that presented a
mass audience with the fully-realized bizarrefest that featured a
pharaoh-goateed bassist, a guitarist who coated his torso with
elaborate henna and a Borat look-alike for a singer. Much like the
Dead Kennedys, the absurdity was a front for a serious message of
social justice, and System was at their best when directly taking
on issues like the punishment of non-violent offenders (""Prison
Song"") or the commercialism of political movements
(""Hypnotize""). They embedded their viewpoints into a musical
package that was raw, and at various times, droningly deliberate
and mathematically fast. It's also worth mentioning that System's
members—all four of whom were first-generation
Armenian-Americans—gave the country an image of the immigrant
experience that was gladly liberated from the inner-city
stereotype. In the beginning of the twenty-first century, new
Americans just as often end up in endless suburban Sun Belt
wastelands, and, to believe vocalist Serj Tankian's bemoaning of
""the toxicity of our city,"" they hate them as much as anyone.

The ""Twilight"" series is the ""Romeo and Juliet"" of our
generation. Like, seriously. Well, that's what Chris Weitz (""The
Golden Compass""), director of the latest installation in the
vampire saga, ""New Moon,"" would like us to believe, anyway. It is
not enough that in her second ""Twilight"" novel, Stephanie Meyer
blatantly rips off the Elizabethan classic. Weitz determines that
the fan base cannot make this connection for themselves, and so in
the opening shot, next to our sleeping heroine, Bella, lies a copy
of that most famous of love stories. It is an association that we
are supposed to carry with us through the whole film, and one that
gives Meyer far too much credit.

Political satires have a tendency to be misleading. Often they
lure unsuspecting audiences in with the promise of a few good yuks
and then beat them repeatedly over the head with an agenda-laden
mallet, ultimately weighing them down with a humor too dark to be
truly enjoyed. ""The Men Who Stare at Goats,"" the directorial
debut of Grant Heslov, co-writer of ""Good Night and Good Luck,""
is not that kind of satire. Although it is a bit messy at times,
""The Men Who Stare at Goats"" presents, but does not force, its
antiwar stance, all the while never sacrificing the levity and
humor that make it so enjoyable to watch.

In 1892, William Wesley Young, a native of Monroe, Wis., had the
radical idea to found an independent daily student paper. While

student journalism had been through weekly and monthly literary
publications.
