Gargoyle guide to the week in entertainment, Sept. 24-30

What do you know? A lot of the movies we previewed last week still haven't been released. Oh well. Kumars Salehi previews them again, including "The Kingdom," a timely film dealing with an elite FBI unit investigating a terrorist bombing in Saudi Arabia. Also this week: new music from Iron and Wine, Che'Nelle, and José González. Plus, "Knocked Up" comes out on DVD, and plenty of local concerts keep the C-U music scene alive and kicking.

America is blind

Once again America is blind to another atrocity, this time not on another nation's soil, but on our own. In early September in West Virginia, a 20-year-old woman was found beaten, sexually harassed, and scared out of her mind.

To study or not to study?

What’s on your iPod? On mine music mostly, and some pictures. Audio books? Not really. What’s the function of the iPod — something to relax with? Or is it an educational tool?

The bug

As you peruse the hallways at Uni you can't help but notice friendly exchanges between people, be it food, notes, money, or germs. OK, so the last one isn't so intentional, but you can't deny that everywhere you go in this school, you're confronted by people and the things that test their immune systems.

Raw or not raw

Tags:

On Saturday night, three friends and I streamed into the Assembly Hall not knowing what to think. We were there to see Raw, a pro wrestling event.

Before you judge me, first let me say it wasn't my idea. My friend is a huge fan, and he had three extra tickets. I was one of the only three who said we would go.

Taking shots

This morning I woke up to a flashing new text message. My friend was in trouble. And by trouble I don't mean injured in any way — though she might've preferred that. No, instead her parents were absolutely livid.
