By Robert M. Hoffman | March 31, 2010

DFS series celebrates super-sleuths

By Alec Brodsky | March 30, 2010

Get out your smoking pipes and master the art of disguise: this term, the Dartmouth Film Society will draw upon the rich tradition of detective films in its series "Elementary, My Dear Watson." From the bumbling Inspector Clouseau in "A Shot in the Dark" (1964), kicking off the series Monday evening, to the rebellious title character in "Dirty Harry" (1972), showing tonight, "Elementary, My Dear Watson" will feature a century's worth of our favorite gumshoes and private eyes. The Spring 2010 DFS series, proposed by Grace Dowd '11 and Grey Cusack '11, will feature detective films from countries all over the world, including Japan, Hong Kong, Romania, Sweden, France and Algeria.

"Of course being female is always somewhat indelicate and extreme, like operating heavy machinery," says a teenage Eveline, the continually endearing narrator of Hamann's newest novel, which will hit stores May 25. The novel, which chronicles Eveline's life from adolescence to her early 20s, clocks in at over 600 pages, but manages to avoid feeling slow or repetitive.

By Robert M. Hoffman | March 3, 2010

To a casual fan of ABC's "Lost," the first few episodes of the sixth and final season might have felt a little bit slow in comparison with 2003's explosion-filled, casualty-loaded, what-is-that-polar-bear-doing-on-an-island pilot.
