HEAR AND NOW: Long Live the King

By Rebecca Lee | October 12, 2009

Michael Jackson may be dead, but he definitely isn't gone. Although the pop sensation bid the world farewell on July 25, his death seems to have sparked a craving for all things MJ. The latest example of Jackson's immortality is Sony Music's release yesterday of "This Is It." Insiders speculate that the track was recorded sometime around 1991 when Jackson was working on "Dangerous" (1991). This song might actually be it: the fruition of Jackson's aspirations to stage a comeback in 2009.

Gervais' acting and writing talents shine in ‘Lying'

By kelly o'brien | October 11, 2009

A number of familiar obstacles stand between Mark Bellison (writer-director Ricky Gervais) and his beautiful date, Anna McDoogles, (Jennifer Garner) in the first scene of "The Invention of Lying" (2009). They include Mark's lack of financial assets, his soon-to-be lack of employment, his lack of any apparent talent that could remedy those situations and the obstacle that proves most difficult to overcome his chubby, snub-nosed exterior. It is, perhaps, in recognition of our own superficial tendencies that we are first introduced to Mark through a voice-over.

Spanish realist artist focuses work on theme of emigration

By Kimmie Solomon | October 4, 2009

DOUGLAS GONZALEZ / The Dartmouth Staff The Spanish realist painter Cristobal Toral took faculty and students away from the everyday reality of Dartmouth and into the imaginative reality of his critically acclaimed art a place where the rules of time, space and movement are often suspended to surprise and move the viewer in a lecture on Thursday in the Haldeman Center. Toral conducted his lecture translated for those in attendance in Spanish. Jose del Pino, chair of the Spanish and Portuguese department, introduced Toral as "one of the most renowned Spanish painters alive," an artist whose success is even more notable in light of his difficult upbringing in rural Andalucia, Spain, del Pino said.

With ‘Cloudy,' alums. score box office sensation

By annie zhang | September 30, 2009

ANDY MAI / The Dartmouth Staff This week Spaulding Auditorium, and theaters worldwide, were besieged by lethal spaghetti and meatball tornadoes; graced by gigantic Jell-O castles resplendent with gelatinous Venus de Milos and solidified swimming pools; overrun by sentient and incredibly violent roasted chickens; and protected by a police officer whose chest hairs visibly tingle in the presence of danger. These fanciful images come from the collective imagination of Phil Lord '97 and Chris Miller '97, the inspired minds behind "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs," the top-grossing film in the United States for the past two weeks.
