‘Greek' delivers laughs, thin plot

By Duncan Bryer | July 5, 2010

You could say that the opening scene of Nicholas Stoller's "Get Him to the Greek" the most recent installment produced by the Judd Apatow comedic enterprise sets the tone for the entire movie: The narcissistic yet talented Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) is an aging rock-star who walks through an African guerilla gunfight in his music video for "African Child," a song through which he frames himself as an "African White Christ from space." Stoller employs this sort of satirical self-awareness throughout the film to both pay homage to and mock the music industry. This paradigm is reinforced by various characters in the movie from Snow's equally immature and self-absorbed father (Colm Meaney) to Sergio Roma (played to perfection by Sean Diddy' Combs), a hilariously over-the-top, yet realistic, music mogul.

Local venues host summer concerts

By Lloyd Miller | June 1, 2010

If you're a music fan and are going to be in Hanover this Summer and especially if you're a sophomore with, shall we say, a relatively light course load then you have little excuse (barring automotive issues, of course) not to check out at least one of the fantastic concert offerings occurring around New England.

‘Marriage' highlights senior majors

By Lloyd Miller | May 31, 2010

Courtesy of Laurie Kohn Courtesy of Laurie Kohn Over the weekend, nine Dartmouth theater majors participated in their last theater department production, Christopher Durang's monstrously funny yet infinitely tragic play "The Marriage of Bette and Boo" (1985). The production was a fitting culminating experience for the senior majors, and it was obvious from the polished performance that they used all the dramatic resources they had accumulated in their four years at the College. The play, which was put on with the help of several underclassmen in addition to the senior majors, tells the story of the supremely unhappy titular marriage and the difficult extended family circumstances surrounding it. Presented out of chronological order through countless short "snapshot" scenes, the play opens as Bette Brennan (Megan Rosen '10) begins her marriage, putting forth an irrepressibly sunny persona.

BOOKED SOLID: An admission officer's nightmare

By corinne white | May 25, 2010

Courtesy of Randomhouse.com Courtesy of Randomhouse.com Pretentious, rambling and naive are just a few of the less-than-desirable traits that describe Addison Schacht, the young protagonist of "The November Criminals" Sam Munson's debut novel, (released April 20). Munson adopts the voice of his whiny protagonist for this first-person narrative, and somehow manages to make Addison's story into a half-way decent and even likeable book. Addison is not your typical high school senior at least not in most areas of the country.
