We've all been to the Hop to see a movie. This term some people went to "The Magdalene Sisters" while others went to "Big Fish." Luckily, there's something for everyone. But who exactly picks out the movies that are shown? Who decides which hot new movies should get playing time? Who decides which weird French foreign film people might like?

His outstanding play and leadership helped spur the baseball team to a 25-17 record and the Red Rolfe Division championship. The fourth-year player from Portland, Maine sat down with The Dartmouth's Christine Huggins to discuss his illustrious career as a member of the Big Green.

Some of the best melodies, it appears, come with strings attached -- four of them, to be exact.Famous violinist Joshua Bell performed Saturday night in Spaulding Auditorium . The world-renowned violinist was making his first appearance at the Hopkins Center and tickets to his concert had been sold out for months.

Last spring, Don Stewart '06 and Mat Brown '05 saw two socially dead entities of Dartmouth life -- live rock music and Fuel -- and got the idea to revive them in one fell swoop. Now, that initial thought has turned into a reality as Fuel is hosting a weekly showcase for campus rock bands in the previously frequently vacant Fuel.

Country has the Dixie Chicks, pop has Destiny's Child, and classical has Eroica Trio. They are three astonishingly beautiful women with talent to match their looks. Making their first appearance at the Hop Saturday night, they delivered an impressive performance to a packed Spaulding Auditorium. What drew so many people to listen to classical music on such an unbearably frigid night? Perhaps it was the gorgeous women on the posters that were plastered up all over campus, but more likely it was the remarkable talent of the group that prompted such a turnout.

Last Saturday night, Rollins Chapel became a time machine with the Musica Antiqua Sankt Peterburg at the controls. The audience was transported back in time by the St. Petersburg orchestra that plays only surviving 18th century instruments or authentic replicas. The sound that filled the chapel days ago is the exact same as the sound that was heard over 200 years ago.

When "Kill Bill" starts, a weird energy runs through the audience, maybe due to the discomfiting effects of the opening song, "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)," coupled with the harsh breathing of someone in pain. The image on screen is that of a battered woman, one eye swollen shut, her lip bleeding, and a pleading and terrified expression on her face.

Does the gray Hanover weather have you down, and it's not even snowing yet? Do picturesque ocean sides, fields of beautiful poppies, and sunlight filtering over the ancient fountains and villas of Italy sound good to you? If so, I suggest you go watch "Under the Tuscan Sun" right away. It may not be a classic, but definitely a must-see film.
