Spring is Hollywood’s worst months. The Oscar favorites make their final appearances at art-house cinemas until the wannabe film buffs can add these films to their Netflix queues.

Feb. 24 is guaranteed to be Hollywood’s most glamorous night in ages. Just ask Jack Nicholson, he’s already in his front row seat. Not only is it a momentous anniversary for the Academy Awards (80 years of Oscars! Think of the montages!), but this is Tinsel Town’s first major post-writers strike event.

I had a flashback last Thursday night.
I’m in the third grade again. It’s recess and my best friend Steve, wearing a Spice Girls watch, is performing “Wannabe” in the school yard. Like, full on performing it. He’s dancing, singing and stomping his feet to imitate Scary Spice (he’s not gay, I swear).

The supercouple is perhaps the most famous entity in entertainment. Supercouples, a term used since the early 1980s, are the high-profile, culturally significant and nearly perfect romances that influence our expectations of what a great love story should be.

A review of Julian Schnabel’s 2007 film The Diving Bell and the Butterfly based on the memoir by Jean-Dominique Bauby, the former editor of French Elle, who suffered a stroke at the age of 43.

This Friday, student filmmakers will compete in the Five College Film and Video Festival. Founded in 1994, the festival is an important venue for student filmmakers to share their work with their peers and are judged by students, not faculty.

Though sophomore Kayti Burt’s film submission will be her fifth short film, it is her first time participating in the festival.

For the record, I hate movies about September 11 and I hate Adam Sandler movies. I have had pretty bad experiences with both.
That being said, I didn’t hate Reign Over Me, the story of two old friends who rekindle their friendship five years after one loses his entire family on 9/11.

When you head out to Blockbuster this spring break, pick a movie that might be out of your comfort zone.

Marie Antoinette (2006)
Marie Antoinette caused a stir when it was booed at Cannes last May. Needless to say, director Sofia Coppola’s latest feature, with its apparent historical inaccuracies, was not appreciated by the French media.

Best Actor
On Sunday night, Peter O’Toole, one the greatest living screen actors, could become the most-nominated actor never to win an Academy Award.
The fact that O’Toole has never won a competitive Academy Award (he received an honorary Oscar in 2003) is a crime.
