The offbeat allure of cult films

By Sayoh Mansaray | April 25, 2005, midnight | In Print »

On a Saturday afternoon in February junior Clare Marshall and her family sit in her living room watching a film that Marshall is an avid fan of: "Napoleon Dynamite." Marshall and her family say quotes along with the movie and laugh aloud at the hilarious parts. "Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills," Clare says, imitating Napoleon's trademark throaty drawl. "You know, like nun chuck skills, bow hunting skills...computer hacking skills."

Redskins blown away by the draft

By Michael Bushnell | April 25, 2005, midnight | In Print »

Auburn went 13-0, winning the best conference in football. The Washington Redskins used their two first round draft picks Saturday on good players, from a great team. Problem is, especially in the case of their second pick, QB Jason Campbell, the pick makes no sense at all.

Bulldogs block Blazers' hopes for undefeated season

By Kristina Yang | April 25, 2005, midnight | In Print »

APRIL 25, NELSON H. KOBREN MEMORIAL GYMNASIUM-- Churchill. It is a word with many associations for Blair's varsity boys' volleyball team, a word that conjures up memories of last season's bitter third-round playoff loss and reminds the Blazers that they were not the only team in the county with an undefeated record coming into this game. And for the biggest home crowd of the season, it was a word that meant that Blair was about to play its toughest and most exciting game all season, a match-up between two county powerhouses that may well indicate the course of the post-season bid for the county title.

"The Interpreter": a first class political thriller

By Kiran Bhat | April 24, 2005, midnight | In Movies »

At first it seems like a typical action movie. Secret service agents, gunfights, terrorism, plot twists, it has all the elements. But beneath the surface, "The Interpreter" is a gritty thriller, one that doesn't shy away from the complicated and brutal politics of its subject, postcolonial Africa, and one that explores raw human relationships to the fullest extent.

The combine is the final chance for some

By Adith Sekaran | April 23, 2005, midnight | In Print »

The last step for most draftees is usually the combine, which is a chance for most players out of college to prove themselves in front of National Football League (NFL) scouts. Usually the combine does not have as great an impact on the futures of collegiate football players because scouts are also aware of their past three or four years competing at the college level but a solid outing does not hurt. However in the case of Maurice Clarett who has not played as much in college, the combine is the best way to judge his talent.
