Project Runway is embroiled in a nasty legal battle over a lucrative, five-year deal that its producers signed in April with Lifetime, taking the show away from Bravo, which has carried it since it began in 2004.

Internationally acclaimed Czech artist Pavel Dobrusky wrote and directed "fly...," which is adapted from Luis Sepulveda's popular 1996 children's book, "The Story of a Seagull and the Cat Who Taught Her to Fly."

Downey's got personality, all right. "Iron Man" (2008) directed by Jon Favreau, is the first superhero movie of the decade that's wholly carried by its lead actor. His Tony Stark (the human inside the Iron Man suit) is no bespectacled news reporter with the charisma of a wax figure, nor a nerd whose only chance at a girl lies in the heroic act of shooting liquid from his wrists. No, Tony Stark is an enviable guy. He lords over an industrial empire like Richard Branson or Mark Cuban -- a suave playboy who's aware of his genius and cracks good jokes to charm his way out of trouble. Instead of showing up to accept a prestigious award, he'd rather shoot craps at the casino with women and booze. No worries, because right-hand man Obadiah Stane (Jeff Bridges) will be there to take the stage and explain away his absence. Stark couldn't give a hoot, and you get the feeling Downey wouldn't either.

You might think that full-frontal nudity is in bad taste even with an R rating, but I think it's in no less bad taste that half of America watches "High School Musical." The truth is, Apatow doesn't care whether you think nudity is out of line, just as he doesn't care about Hollywood's standards regarding the solidity of abdominals and biceps for a male romantic lead.

For the first time since Justin Timberlake regifted what his mother gave him, Saturday Night Live is in the news.

It's a good thing the Dartmouth Dance Ensemble only recently learned how to handle a poi. A ball spun rapidly by an attached rope, this traditional object used for dance by the Maori -- the indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand -- is sacrosanct ("tapu" in Maori) and must not be dropped. According to the old custom, mishandling the poi is punishable by death -- quite daunting for a group of 13 American dancers new to this native artform. Luckily for them, the offender who drops a poi today only has to do 10 push-ups. And ten push-ups should be a breeze for these guys.

For both teams, the BC meet marked an improvement over their performances on Nov. 17, when they lost to tough Division I competition in Bristol, R.I.

The Dartmouth women's team (1-9, 0-7 Ivy) is coming off a season in which it set 10 school records. The team featured several superior individual swimmers and divers, many of whom return this year. The success of these individuals notwithstanding, the Big Green lacked the depth to defeat league opponents consistently last season, and finished seventh in the Ivy League.

In its final two matches of the season and the last for graduating seniors Katie Hirsch '08, Sandy Barbut '08 and Frances Samolowicz '08, the Dartmouth women's volleyball team swept through league rivals Cornell and Columbia at home on Friday and Saturday. The wins assured the Big Green (15-9, 8-6 Ivy) of fourth place in the conference, its best finish in eight years.

After a split on the road last weekend, the Dartmouth women's volleyball team still had a mathematical shot to clinch the Ivy League championship coming into this weekend. The squad hoped to beat Princeton and Penn, the top two teams in the conference, for a chance to head into the final homestand of the season a game back of second-place Penn. Dartmouth was unable to pull off an upset in either match, however, losing to Princeton 3-1 and Penn 3-0, effectively ending its conference championship hopes.

Four seasons into "The Office," the show has proven itself as a worthy successor to Ricky Gervais's brilliant BBC original. Contracts have been inked to syndicate the show in 2009, guaranteeing its future relevance. The show even made Steve Carell popular enough to win a starring role in a bad summer blockbuster, "Evan Almighty." Odds are you've heard of Carell's character in "The Office," Michael Scott, and know that he's a clueless blowhard, the type of guy who buys himself a "World's Best Boss" mug.

"Both matches this weekend were vital in order for us to reach our ultimate goal, to win the Ivy League championship," libero Amanda Marston '10 said.

As a Montgomery Fellow in residence, Merce Cunningham's responsibilities are to participate in or inspire activities and events related to his craft. At least nine different engagements are planned for "The Art of Merce: Dartmouth Celebrates an Iconoclast," along with the performance of Cunningham's dance company this weekend.

For the big networks, summer lineups are a place to dump leftover programming and bad reality shows. Few new shows emerge to earn a spot on the fall lineup, and even fewer old shows regain an audience. After sweeps in May, quality on the networks is as hard to find as a scrap of modesty in the head of Kanye West.

Indeed, the woman is a Jew and a spy, but seduction wins her improbable favors from her Gestapo lover in Dutch director Paul Verhoeven's war thriller "Black Book" ("Zwartboek" in Dutch -- beware, or rejoice: this film is subtitled). Considering Verhoeven took a 20-year hiatus from Dutch cinema to direct "Basic Instinct" and "Showgirls," among other graphic Hollywood films, the prominent role of sex in his latest is not surprising.

The theme was chosen by the Dartmouth Film Society directorate, a group of students, faculty and local residents who design a list of films to show at the Hopkins Center every term. Selected two terms in advance, each theme-based series must include six to eight foreign films, one documentary and one silent film. Generally, the entries comprise both classic picks and newer blockbusters in an effort to draw a varied student audience.

In these days of advanced special effects, literary fantasies are particularly ripe for screen adaptations. Disney certainly likes the trend (see "The Chronicles of Narnia") and now those good ol' folks who blessed our childhoods with the likes of "Aladdin" bring us "Bridge to Terabithia," the theatrical trailer for which is littered with CGI monsters, flying children and enchanted landscapes.
