Wait...they play football at the Superbowl?

I’ve never been much of a sports enthusiast. I played little league and was in Junior Jazz for years, but that was really more my parents’ idea than mine. I’m much more content to read a book, listen to music or — prior to my university schedule — watch hours upon hours of television.

Jonah Napoli’s exclusive look at five films featured at the festival

Buried The premise of Buried is unique if nothing else. It’s difficult to have one actor in an enclosed space for over 90 minutes and keep your audience’s interest.

Right now, Pride and Prejudice is being read by at least 63 girls on campus (and four junior guys taking British Neo-Classic and Romantic while smacking their lips distastefully).
