...don’t know…what do you think?” I once had a TF who asked someone else in my section to point to an elephant on a projection screen—an elephant that literally took up 90 percent of the screen and was more than six feet high. After that, we went on to practice coloring inside the lines, finger painting, and nap time. Welcome to Harvard, Pre-K style. This brings me to the more insidious problem with the section system. Since the TFs fail to inspire any sort of genuine interest...
...conveys compassion, yearning, and confusion with the poise of a true ingénue. Without resorting to bombast or histrionics, she commands absolute attention in every frame. Akhtar rises to Sen’s level—his face becomes contorted with desire and fear whenever they share the screen.

...turn into a nervous wreck in the presence of college journalists. All of this, of course, makes him devastatingly charming, in a shy kid-brother sort of way. That same sentiment can be applied to his work, in which the some of the most adorable characters ever put on screen are made from children’s modeling clay. Wallace and Gromit themselves were among Park’s first creations, brainstormed as part of a graduate project while he was still a student at the National Film and Television School in London. Initially, Gromit was envisioned...
