...that await students after they register. Sometimes it seems that what actually binds all Harvard’s 6,000-plus undergraduates together is their deep passion for applying to things. “Comp” itself is a term of indeterminate pedigree. The Crimson claims that it stands for “competence”; other organizations use it as a stand-in for “competition.” Yet whatever its etymology, “comp” is essentially a euphemism for “apply to.” When...

...Arnold argues that if lighting-based expression has a real source, it's Hong Kong, because the city "has always been at the forefront of light signage." But there's just one snag: light pollution.

...minor story lines are completely incoherent, with plot points coming out of nowhere and having inconclusive or confusing resolutions. While the movie has many shortcomings, certain actors kept the sinking ship afloat. Pastore (of “The Sopranos” fame) and Outkast’s Benjamin stand out as an unlikely and entertaining crime duo. Pastore, who is tough and sly, and Benjamin, who dresses effeminately and is highly intelligent, have great chemistry and witty banter on screen. Statham is a strong lead as well; however, the sub-par performance of his counterpart, Liotta, undercuts his performance. Liotta?...
