...keep their finger on the pulse of the student body, there is an “Endpaper” at the back of each issue. This is essentially a personal essay in which students describe how ostensibly lame and depressing their lives are and then try to flip the script and claim that they are perfectly content. They generally achieve this effect through flowery prose, self-delusion, and false claims that they “go into Boston a lot.” In other words, if you’re thinking of killing yourself, you should read an endpaper...
...can’t hold a candle to director Dominic Sena’s 2000 remake—skipping the “fine wine” stage, aging has just turned the film to vinegar. The greatest failing of Halicki’s supposed masterpiece is the script. A significant amount of dialogue is given as voice-overs during car-chases or while the main characters are repairing stolen vehicles in the auto shop.

American Funds woos investors with a team approach that insulates fund investors from the carnage that a single mistaken ego may unleash. The company is raking in money so fast that it has inspired copycats--just as its funds have grown so large they threaten to become unwieldy...
...time Jeff Skoll, CEO of the newly formed film company Participant Productions, got the script for Good Night, and Good Luck--about the showdown between heralded 1950s news anchor Edward R. Murrow and infamous communist witch hunter Joseph McCarthy--it had been turned down by every studio in Hollywood. "Once I started to learn about McCarthyism and about what Murrow did, the story struck me as very relevant to what's going on today with this Administration and things like the Patriot Act," says Canadian-born Skoll. Nonetheless, Skoll also passed on making the script, which George Clooney had originally...
...brilliance and innovation of the interpretation by director and set designer Burkle triumphs over the occasionally weak acting. The haunting red umbrellas take Ioensco’s rhinoceroses beyond the absurd and into the surreal; the HRDC production transcends a mere illustration of the script and creates a work of art in its own right...
