In her faded ankle-length frock and graying Orphan Annie fro, Boyle left even the sharp-tongued Simon Cowell speechless with her angelic rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream" from "Les Miserables." Boyle's exaggerated popularity was due only in small part to her voice mostly it was her status as the underdog.

By kelly o'brien | November 23, 2009

Courtesy of aceshowbiz.com "The Blind Side" (2009) tells the story of a hopeless and homeless black teenager fighting desperately to overcome obstacles correlated with race, poverty and his mother's drug addiction and it starts with a Sandra Bullock voice-over about football. If that isn't indicative of the movie's flaws, I don't know what is. There's nothing particularly bad about "The Blind Side" except that it could have been so much better.

Leads shine in student production of ‘Antigone'

By Caitlin Kennedy | November 22, 2009

EUNICE LEE / The Dartmouth Alexis Monroe '13 and Bill Calder '12 brilliantly acted out their characters' dueling approaches to fate and political philosophy in the Shakespeare Alley Showcase's performance of Jean Anouilh's 1943 adaptation of "Antigone" this weekend, The student-produced play, directed by Sarah Laeuchli '11, was performed at the Bentley Theater in the Hopkins Center. As in the original Greek tragedy, conflict arises in Anouilh's revisionist adaptation when Antigone played by Monroe attempts to bury her brother Polynices, who killed her other brother in a duel. Antigone faces execution for this act because Creon, her uncle and the new king played by Calder, has declared Polynices a traitor and prohibited his burial. Anouilh adapted "Antigone" in the context of the Nazi occupation of Paris.
