By Julia Wynn | Sept. 29, 2008, midnight | In Movies »

There is much more to "Eagle Eye" than nonstop glass shattering, intense police chases and gun-pointing associated with most action films.

Abstain from abstinence-only education

By Julia Wynn | Sept. 23, 2008, midnight | In Op/Ed »

When Republican presidential candidate John McCain finalized his pick for vice president, Governor Sarah Palin (R-Alaska) began to endure the usual ruthless media probing associated with being a top executive figure. As a result, the media has nitpicked and scrutinized the pregnancy of her 17-year-old unmarried daughter, Bristol. They've got all the irrelevant details covered - her boy toy, his background, their hobbies, their future plans - except the most relevant piece: her mother's support for abstinence-only education, as publicized during her 2006 campaign for governor. Bristol is living proof that this type of sex education is inadequate.

"Traveling Pants 2" is not a perfect fit

By Julia Wynn | Aug. 11, 2008, midnight | In Movies »

A disappointing end to the two-film series, "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2" is a sweet but choppy adaptation of the last three books in Ann Brashares' renowned series. A movie most likely to be enjoyed solely by teenage girls, it doesn't attempt to be more than a light chick flick. Although the acting and predictable ending leave much to be desired, the movie does manage a few valuable lessons about love and friendship that will be able to stand the test of time.
