Nothing 'Lines' up
The premise sounds solid enough. Two fighter pilots are shot down over Bosnia during a reconnaissance mission. One dies and the other, Chris Burnett (Owen Wilson), must battle both the wilderness and his human pursuers and try to get out of the country alive.
'Blank' scores extra 'Pointe'
Pointe Blank, the student-run modern tap and jazz dance troupe on campus, showed off a semester's worth of grueling rehearsals at their fall show last Sunday. Between the natural talents of the Pointe Blank dancers, the ingenuity of the student choreographers and the pure energy of the entire group, Sunday's show was a smashing success.
'Casa': like bad trip across the border
Mexican restaurants are few and far between in Williamsburg and the surrounding area. Good Mexican restaurants are even rarer. Casa Maya, connected to the Howard Johnson on Bypass Road, does nothing to further the cause of Mexican cuisine in the burrito-deprived environs of Hampton Roads.
7th Grade performance rules
You may have seen the flyers around campus with a shocked David Spade resenting the use of his "beautiful" face as a marketing tool or one with the simple sentence, "No longer sponsored by Hell: 7th Grade."
Rob Zombie's new 'sinister' experiments
There are certain things we've come to expect from Rob Zombie. Among these are his chainsaw-like growling and roaring, a hard-edged metal sound and a style that mixes the theatrics and campiness of Alice Cooper with the heaviness of metal bands from more recent decades.

Though the workshop is as diverse as usual, this semester provided more plays that featured physical and mental weakness.
One-act wonders
You know the semester is coming to a close when Director's Workshop flyers blanket the campus. This is the time when senior theater students showcase their directing capabilities through a series of one-act plays.
Hornby tries to be 'Good'
It's rare that so talented and stylish a novelist as Nick Hornby writes a mediocre book. It's much more common for such an author to write brilliant successes or resounding failures. Yet, that is exactly what Hornby has done with "How to Be Good." "Good" is a usually hilarious, often poignant tale of a woman being smothered by a former curmudgeon-turned-angel that is just shy of the standard usually associated with Hornby's work.
