If you go to see The Pink Panther this week expecting Steve Martin to duplicate Peter Sellers' performance from the original movie series, then you are doomed for disappointment.

Tomorrow night, Old Cabell Hall will welcome stand-up comedians Greg Giraldo and Mike Birbiglia to its stage for what is promised to be an evening of maniacal laughter. Okay, maybe not maniacal, as those seats can cramp your style and your legs.
Harrison Ford's latest action film is far from groundbreaking. His role as the weathered hero who will do just about anything to protect his family -- hack into a computer, defy the police, confront a terrorist -- has already been tried and tested in his earlier works such as The Devil's Own and Patriot Games.
Despite landmark films such as Guess Who's Coming To Dinner and Jungle Fever, memorable cinematic interracial romances have been too few and far between.

I have to admit, I was skeptical about a hip-hop event being held in tiny McLeod Hall Auditorium, but Battlegrounds proved it could be done. Students from Liberty University joined those from the University and packed into the auditorium to see an intense dance-off and a fierce free-style rap battle sponsored by Sigma Gamma Rho and EMC Talent Group.

Do you remember when a new kid joined your class in elementary school? Maybe he was a little bit odd or a little awkward, and, when you told your parents about it after school, they'd say to you, "Never judge a book by its cover." This, of course, was advice that went unheeded. When pop/indie group Film School released their debut album, they embodied that new kid image.

I love cheesy '80s movies. It is a real weakness -- anything starring Emilio Estevez (Maximum Overdrive, anyone?) or directed by John Hughes and I'm hooked.
Singer-songwriter Chan Marshall, aka Cat Power, is a dramatically crowd-shy performer. So much so that she darted offstage mid-song during her October stop at Charlottesville's own Satellite Ballroom, bewildering an audience and further warping her onstage persona.
When I first came to U.Va., I only knew one thing: I wanted to work for the Cav Daily. Over the past five semesters at the CD, I've met some great people and seen some great things.
