Clooney assails national apathy in 'Good Night'

|

Every once in a while, amidst the barrage of noisy, soulless Hollywood constructions that elbow their way into theatres every Friday, there emerges a film so perceptive and insightful that it magnetizes you to the screen for its entire running time.

Dartmouth theater department ready to unveil 'Inishmaan'

|

An Irish melody drifts pleasantly over the dimly-lit stage in the Moore Theater at the Hopkins Center for the Arts, lending atmosphere to the theater department's recreation of a 1934 Irish village for its production of "The Cripple of Inishmaan."

Dartmouth mainstay Pinkas readies tribute to Schumann, Loeffler

|

On Tuesday at 7 p.m., a sound familiar to many of Dartmouth's music students will fill Spaulding Auditorium, as Dartmouth's resident pianist Sally Pinkas will perform her autumn recital along with guest musicians Steve Larson on viola and Thomas Gallant on oboe. Erma Gattie Mellinger, a member of Dartmouth's music faculty, was scheduled to lend her vocals to the concert, but unfortunately had to drop out due to a lingering illness. Pinkas has taught piano and chamber-music classes at Dartmouth since 1985; in the upcoming spring term, she plans on taking a group of Dartmouth students to London for the foreign study program in music.

Marsalis amazes Dartmouth audience

Some may remember Tuesday, Oct. 25 as the day of the first snowfall of the academic year, but more will remember it as the night that world-famous Wynton Marsalis played at Dartmouth. Marsalis' bio took up more than two pages in the program; among other things, he made 40 jazz and classical records, became the first and only artist to win both classical and jazz Grammy Awards and co-founded the jazz program at the Lincoln Center.

'Everything' ends up not as illuminating as its source material

|

Some books just aren't meant to be adapted to the screen, and despite a noble effort by director Liev Schreiber, Jonathan Safran Foer's acclaimed novel "Everything is Illuminated" is one of them. Foer, a 1999 Princeton graduate, burst onto the literary scene with the aforementioned 2002 novel, a loosely autobiographical chronicle of a young man -- also named Jonathan Safran Foer -- and his quest to find a woman named Augustine, whom he believes saved his grandfather from the Nazis.
