Denzel’s latest tackles health policy

Hopefully, your local hospital gives out free health care. Hope Memorial Hospital does not, and one dying little boy doesn’t have time to wait for the medical system to change, and neither does his determined father. John Q. looks at John Quincy Archibald (Denzel Washington), a hard-working factory employee and even harder-working family man, who is having trouble doing either effectively after having his hours trimmed back at work.

Tournament hopes fizzle

With three minutes left in the first half of Georgetown’s contest against the Connecticut Huskies on Tuesday night, first-year guard Tony Bethel got the ball in the open court and flew, much to the delight of the packed student section. He threaded a beautiful pass right through a Huskies defender to fellow first-year Drew Hall for an easy lay-up to put the Hoyas up, 37-28.

Emo sideman hits the country with solo album

Rock ‘n’ roll has taken a turn for the generic, with emo ascending the Top 40 faster than you can say “smells like another Dookie,” but Cub Country has resisted this trend by taking a sharp dive into the South.

New Indian film colorful

With the world’s eyes fixed rigidly on the Asian subcontinent, it is quite fascinating to note the powerful contrasts that exist in the region.

Olympic blues

What’s the deal with the two-man luge? I mean, the one-man luge seems silly enough since it’s basically just glorified sledding, but why add a second man? I mean, how do you find a partner for the two man luge?
