plete with crazy scenes, during the credits.
If there is one must-see comedy this semester, “Old School” is it.
US-
—Chris EM
“Final Destination 2” is hopefully Hollywood’s final
attempt to capitalize on the teen horror genre reignited by
1996’s smash hit “Scream.”
The film begins on the one-year anniversary date of the events in
the original “Final Destination.” In it, another group of teenagers
manage to escape a major accident, and then death attempts to sys
tematically claim their lives. It is practically a carbon copy of the
original except this time the characters are somewhat smarter.
Ali Larter reprises her role as Clear Rivers, the sole survivor of
the original film. She and the others spend the film searching for
ways to beat death’s game.
This sequel is far more gruesome and less intelligent than the
original. All this film does is contrive more inventive, horrific ways
for people to die. The characters are so unlikable, you don’t even
care about their fates. In fact, the only feeling that one leaves the
film with is a desire to ask for a refund.
Although “Final Destination 2” creates some suspenseful
moments, it offers very little redeeming value. It is a perfect example
of how Hollywood glamorizes drug use and gratuitous violence.
The worst part of the film is at the end where a mother witnesses
her child being killed in an explosion, which, of course, prepares us
for the obligatory “Final Destination 3.” Will the nightmare continue?
We can only hope not.
"How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days"
Starring Kate Hudson and Matthew
McConaughey
Paramount Pictures
Emzmmm —Jeremy Osborne
"Old School"
Will Ferrel, Vince Vaughn, and Luke Wilson
Dreamworks
Filled with nudity and bedroom humor, “Old School” is the com
edy to hit theaters since “Super Troopers.”
Will Ferrel, Vince Vaughn and Luke Wilson star in this hilarious
comedy about three guys starting a fraternity. One of the characters is
an old man named Blue, a fraternity rushee, who creates one of the
funniest scenes in the movie when he competes in a KY Liquid
wrestling match.
The movie starts out slowly, but steadily gains speed after the
rushing process begins. An all-star list of cameo appearances add to
“Old School’s” comic appeal — specifically when Andy Dick gives
an oral sex class to a group of women.
For anyone who has always wanted to see Will Ferrel nude, this is
For all the women out there whose mouths water at the words
romantic comedy, get ready, because Kate Hudson and Matthew
McConaughey steam up the screen and provide plenty of laughs in
“How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.” For all the boyfriends out there
who dread the days when your girlfriends drag you to yet anoth-
girlie movie, have no fear.
Andie Anderson (Hudson) is a successful journalist who has a
how-to column in the magazine she writes for and—surprise, sur
prise—this month her topic is how to lose a guy in 10 days. Right
down the street in an advertising agency, Benjamin Barry
(McConaughey) is trying to land an advertising deal that would
boost his career. In order to secure the account, Ben makes a bet
with his boss that he can make a woman fall in love with him in
10 days. If he wins the bet, he steals the account from two
women. In an evil twist of fate, these two make each other their
targets; Andie’s goal being to drive Ben away, while Ben must
keep Andie close.
What results is a hilarious tug-of-war, with Andie making all of
the typical relationship mistakes that women tend to make, driving
Ben crazy in the process, even calling his mother after less than a
week into the relationship.
This is a movie that will entertain people of either sex. Women
will love seeing their dating blunders amplified on screen, and
men will revel in watching another man suffer through what they
have experienced.
