Ivy Festival will honor student films

|

The upcoming first annual Ivy Film Festival to be held at Brown University on Dec. 1 hopes to celebrate and expose students' films by gathering young filmmakers to screen and judge each other's submissions. Jethro Rothe-Kushel '03, an avid filmmaker since he was nine years old, made arrangements for Dartmouth's participation in the conference.

Barenaked Ladies clown around

|

You might assume Monday night's program at the Verizon Wireless Arena, which included a selection from "Annie," a bass presentation of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" and a rendition of a Muppet's "near, far" shtick, had to be part of a "Sesame Street Live" performance.

Students organize a 'Space for Dialogue' in Hood

|

A painting does not just magically appear on the walls of a museum gallery. Likewise, an exhibition cannot be thrown together in a matter of days -- or even weeks. In fact, the art you see displayed in a museum betrays only the end-result of extensive behind-the-scenes preparation. Indeed, the job of a museum curator involves much more than selecting a work of art and placing it in the galleries.

Percussion Ensemble hits Hop

The infectious rhythms of traditional and modern West African, Brazilian and Indian music will reverberate in Spaulding Auditorium tonight when the Dartmouth World Music Percussion Ensemble performs its annual fall concert entitled "Dance of the Small Drums." The performance is dedicated to those who lost loved ones on Sept.

Big laughs and big heart found in 'Shallow Hal'

|

"Shallow Hal" has all of the classic gags of a Farrelly brothers' film. Something separates it, however, from the purely slapstick and grotesque humor of their prior flicks such as "There's Something About Mary" and "Dumb and Dumber." "Shallow Hal" is surprisingly moving and provides audiences not only with cheap laughs but also with a worthwhile message: that beauty is only skin deep. Hal (Jack Black) grows up in a promise to fulfill his father's dying wish for him to only date beautiful women regardless of who they are inside.

Award winner and College senior Garland has keen eye

|

The College becomes a photo album this fall; black and white photographs show in the Hop, quaint geography snapshots crowd the walls of second-floor Collis and administrative offices (e.g., the Dean of the College) jazz up bureaucracy with photographed action sequences. The most visible show of photography this term is Ty Garland '02's 34 color prints in Collis.

'Buff' switch damages the fabric of Burnett's 'Survivor'

|

When I wrote my first "Survivor: Africa" recap, I admonished the 16 contestants for breaking "the rules." I never thought I would have to do the same for the show's executive producer, Mark Burnett. In Thursday's episode, the daily tree-mail tells Samburu and Boran to pick three of their "best" to go on a "quest." Gotta love that rhymin'! The trios head back to the original drop-off point (remember "Down!

As you'll have it: A standard production of a favorite

|

Paul Gaffney's direction of "As You Like It" brings Shakespeare's romantic comedy home. The storybook charm of Edwardian American sets and costumes, the reserved characters, the rational progression of events, the reluctance to soliloquize too self-centeredly and the degree to which actors keep to their own lines makes stepping indoors from turn of the century Upper Valley into turn of the century Adirondacks entirely natural. We seek the natural, in nature.

Pink Floyd releases career-spanning greatest hits collection

|

As the greatest psychedelic band in the history of popular music and the alpha and omega of the space rock genre, Pink Floyd has left an indelible mark on mainstream rock over the course of its 35-year career. Yet, while the group achieved massive commercial success, its style was not that of penning a hit single; rather, most Pink Floyd albums functioned as a cohesive whole, both sonically and conceptually.

Real time is good time on new Sutherland drama

|

Terrorism. Drama. Suspense. No, you're not watching national news coverage. I'm referring to that new drama "24," which premieres tonight on Fox. Appropriately titled, "24" follows counterterrorist agent Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) as he tries to stop an assassination attempt on an African-American presidential candidate (Dennis Haysbert). All the while, Bauer searches desperately for his daughter and tries to maintain his sanity as the suspense builds and the clock ticks away. It's an original concept: The entire season covers one 24-hour day over the course of the season, with each one-hour episode filmed in real time.
