...This is Bright Eyes at some of its best: youthfully articulate, refreshingly sentimental. It’s during these moments, within the mostly disjointed and angst-ridden “Cassadaga,” that flashes of simple honesty become insights into the album’s main theme: Oberst’s personal longing for love in a world of uncertainty and pain. In the song “Make a Plan to Love Me,” he sings, “Life is too short / To be a fool / I don’t owe you that...

...clever images that augment the comedic nature of the story. Such small touches make the film engaging, and more importantly, distinguish it from other soul-searching films in the genre. Rivaling Fox’s direction for praise is the acting by Paulo Costanzo and Steph Song. Playing main character Ryan and his love interest Ming, these two young actors establish themselves with believable and entertaining performances. Their talent and natural attitudes further set the film apart from the many others that share similar plots. Costanzo effectively conveys the angst that Ryan feels without taking his character too seriously...

With a few stern words to Lucy and a couple not-so-memorable walks with Sarah, Kasdan expects us to infer that Carter has transformed the lives of both.If anything, the main purpose of Kasdan’s snoozer is to bring Ryan back into the silver-screen spotlight.

...like, “Come on, there’s so much room for innovation!” I started thinking of ideas in the middle of the show, and Juan started putting in comments. By the end he came up with all these different analyses of the main character, Sally. The vision Quinn and Camero crafted departs from both prominent previous versions of the show. Quinn: We’re taking a really interesting look at “Cabaret” because there are two extremes of what’s usually done. It’s usually...

...only one gun a month in Virginia, but that's the main obstacle. Virginia is for gun lovers--no licenses, no waiting periods, no training required. Investigators found a receipt for a 9-mm Glock 19 in Cho's backpack, bought last month from Roanoke Firearms, where four homicides have reportedly been tied to 16,000 weapons sold there in the last eight years. Cho's purchases had been legal; he had been under a court-ordered "temporary detainment order," a psychiatric evaluation, which is not the same as an involuntary commitment. Thus nothing showed up on the instant background...
