October 8 th at 1 0:4-5pm Right outside All Faiths Chapel (inside if it rains) Sponsored by Lutheran Student Fellowship Mystery, Alaska is a little town just outside greatness, or so the tagline goes. Mystery, Alaska as a film may not achieve greatness, but it does stand above the crowd by taking an engrossing and heartfelt look at a small town, which revolves around a practice as sacred to its citizens as any religion — hockey. Mystery tells the tale of a group of ordinary men who play hockey on the town pond in holy Saturday games, donating their lives both on and off the ice to the sport. When the town is presented with the chance to play against the New York Rangers by petition of an ex resident, the Mystery players jump at the opportunity. With a well-written screenplay by David E. Kelley (“Ally McBeal,” “The Practice”), this film is memorable for daring to portray the characters as living, breathing human beings instead of two-dimensional characters. Possibly dismissed as an adult Mighty Ducks, this film is anything but. Dealing with a variety of is sues off the rink, Kelley catches a startling glimpse of small-town life. Kelley pulls no punches with the language, either. This film proceeds to utilize nearly every curse word known to man in vast quantities, which may offend some. However, the use of foul language contributes to the film’s realism by representing true-to- life conversations. Director Jay Roach [Austin Powers) proves the success of the Powers movies is not simply due to Mike Meyers. Using great These Olympic hopefuls just passed their swimming test. And so did the water. Communities around the country use Koch’s ultrafiltration system to clean and purify their water. You’d be surprised at all the places our company pops up poolside. The swim trunks these guys are wearing are manufactured using Koch’s products. So are their plastic goggles. Koch even helps make the bags that contain the potato chips they’ll devour on the bike ride home. Koch Industries has operations throughout the world. Our people are many. Our business diversified.

Featuring performances from a cast including Reynolds, Russell Crowe, Mary McCormack and Azaria, this movie succeeds as a strong ensemble film. Also, clever uses of cameo appearances by Mike Meyers and Little Richard add a little extra humor to the film. Mystery, Alaska is probably not going to win any Academy Awards this year, but it is a winning, re freshing and extremely entertaining comedy. (Grade: B) 1 — Matt McCormick Random Hearts Starring Harrison Ford and Kristin Scott Thomas Directed by Sidney Pollack Random Hearts is an aptly named movie. At least the ran dom part is. Horrible editing cou pled with an extremely involved storyline makes Ford’s latest ef fort something film teachers will show students as an example of bad filmmaking. A Washington D.C. police of ficer, Sgt. Van Den Broeck (Ford), finds out his world is not exactly what he imagined when his wife’s plane crashes. He finds out his wife and the hus band of congresswoman Kay Spencer Cullen (Thomas) were sitting on the plane together as husband and wife. Forced to reevaluate their en tire existence. Van Den Broeck and Cullen turn to one another for help in deciphering the mys tery of their spouses’ secret lives. This is where things are supposed to heat up.

It starts off with tension and energy lacking from many of Ford’s recent films. But when the film attempts to move away from the paranoia and mystery from questioning everyday happen ings, it begins to fall apart into near-nonsense. Sidney Pollack [The Firm) real ly drops the ball on this movie. With two of the most interesting stars in Hollywood and a screen play based on the novel by War ren Adler, this film had block buster written all over it. Pollack insults both the stars and the nov el when he uses horrible editing in the movie.
