Values rock the Palace

Korn's "Family Values" tour package makes its Michigan appearance today at the Palace. With the likes of Korn, Rammstein and Ice Cube dominating the stage with dreadlocks, fire and original gangsta attitude, concert-goers are all set for a wealth of sights and sounds.

Makin' Noise

The international percussion show "Stomp" is coming to the Power Center with all its trash cans, loud shoes and drum sticks for two shows in October.

Director's 'Candidate' still reigns

John Frankenheimer's new film, "Ronin," is an action-adventure film, laced with intrigue and suspense. But "Ronin" cannot hold a candle to Frankenhemier's masterpiece, "The Manchurian Candidate." A selection of the American Film Institute's 100 Greatest Movies, "The Manchurian Candidate" is an absolutely enthralling tale of brainwashing and murder. The story begins after Raymond Shaw (Laurence Harvey) returns from the Korean War a reluctant, highly decorated hero.

Big Thrills

In Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction," part of the mystique surrounding the now-infamous briefcase stems from the curious fact that the case is in the possession of four know-nothing kids. This twist is subtle, but central to setting up our interest and allegiance.

Student group fills Diag with celebration of art

"Art is not a luxury but essential to the refueling of the human imagination," First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton once said. Nowhere, it seems, is the heart of this statement being practiced more than here at the University. Though always an integral part of the University's life, the arts have received special attention in these past two years. With the founding of the new student group Art Matters, as well as the instatement of the annual Artscapade, the arts have become even more accessible to students.

AACT stays aoat on golden pond

Those of us lumped, unwillingly, into the statistical category of "Generation X-ers" often find it difficult to get out. Magazines, television, film and popular culture in general are all tyrannically ruled by people our age, and we have to look pretty hard to find someone outside of this age group.

Sitcom creators discuss boys, girls, pizza and TV

"Well, it was supposed to have been poetic." That was how series creator Rick Wiener justified the cornball description on ABC's web page of how he and Kenny Schwartz came up with the idea for "Two Guys, a Girl & a Pizza Place." A mid-season replacement last year, this show about two college grads who work at a pizza place and their female neighbor enjoyed a mild success and was renewed for this season.

Mega Man's back: "Mega Man Legends"

So you played all the "Mega Man" series on all platforms. You beat everything from the evil Dr. Wily in the original "Mega Man" to the sinister Sigma in "Mega Man X4." You sit at home, bored, waiting for the next challenge. Well, wait no longer. "Mega Man Legends" has arrived.

Spade's ' Just Shoot Me' still on target

What is it about "Just Shoot Me"? NBC's comedy started as a mid-season replacement, but does anyone remember that? Mid-season shows are usually not expected to fare well, as they've been delayed from a fall debut for one reason or another.

Photo-Active Visiting Artist Series

Last Friday night at 7 p.m., many University students had already begun partying in preparation for the football game and the rest of the weekend. But not all of them. A crowd, composed mostly of students, turned out at the Art & Architecture Building on North Campus to see guest lecturer Paula Allen discuss and display her photographs. Allen's appearance and lecture, which took place in the School of Art & Design Auditorium, inaugurated a year-long program under the auspices of the Art & Design Photo-Active Feminist Visiting Artist Lecture Series.
