Hoyas play host in Big East opener

The Georgetown men’s soccer team won ten games in the regular season, finished third in its division, and earned a first-round home game in the Big East tournament. It has been by all measures the best season the Hoyas have had during head coach Brian Wiese’s three-year tenure. But don’t think Wiese is satisfied yet.

The Sports Sermon: Kicking It with the homeless

As the owner of both the NHL's Capitals and the NBA's Wizards, Ted Leonsis (COL `77) just may be the biggest professional sports fan in Washington. While both teams are beginning their seasons, neither team will be the topic of conversation when Leonsis comes to campus next Tuesday. The occasion for his return is a screening of the film Kicking It in Gaston Hall. The documentary, produced by Leonsis earlier this year, tells the story of seven soccer players participating in a tournament in South Africa in 2006. There is one very significant difference between these players and those that will descend on Cape Town for the World Cup in 2010, however: they are all homeless.

Georgetown volleyball’s Hardy dose of offense

The Georgetown volleyball team (12-11, 5-5 BE) is fulfilling its mantra of “growing to greatness.” After a disappointing 2007 season, the relatively small and inexperienced Hoyas have turned things around with junior outside hitter Jessica Hardy as their offensive leader, and the Hoyas are in a position to reach the post-season for the first time in six years.

The Sports Sermon

Last weekend saw one former Hoya basketball player exit the court to a chorus of boos, while another left to a standing ovation and an arena-spanning chant. Fortunately, the boos... Read more

The Changeling saddens with style

Despite being as depressing as Clint Eastwood's Mystic River (2003), the complex plot lines, realistic acting, and excellent aesthetics make the director's new movie, The Changeling, an impressive work.

Hamlet 2-Rollicking Ribaldry

Imagine the most ludicrous, politically incorrect version of High School Musical possible. It would probably look a lot like Hamlet 2, whose cast is led by a Napoleon Dynamite-meets-Zoolander drama teacher (Steve Coogan).

Best of the Summer

We here at the Leisure section sincerely regret the standard school schedule that prevents us from being able to tell you what to like and dislike over the summer months. To that end, we’ve compiled a collection of some of our favorite movies, music, and shows from the summer, in the hopes of allowing you to catch up on the culture you may have missed. Quick, catch these while the last rays of summer still shine and before those silly classes start.
