Because American film studios produce an ample number of sci-fi and fantasy films, there isn't much reason to begin importing more of the genre from overseas. However, Russian-made "Night Watch" sets itself apart with detailed visuals and a rich plot that fantasy connoisseurs will devour. [read more]

I am responding to an article that appeared to stray off your opinions page and landed in the Arts & Life section of your March 24 issue: Alex Nasarewsky's article criticizing the Blocks' study linking party affiliation with childhood personality traits ("Asinine, not academic"). Nasarewsky claimed that the research was "clearly advancing an agenda." Block's agenda was nothing but advancing science. If the author had bothered to read Block's actual article and not simply the Toronto Star's news McNuggets, he would have read that the study was simply an aside from a larger study with the 100 subjects.

Election time always seems to bring out the worst in everybody. With SA elections only a week away, I am sorry to say that the politics have already begun. Yesterday, the SISH Council (Special Interests, Service, and Hobbies) met to listen to the ideas of the parties running in this year's election so that we could choose the candidates whom we wish to endorse. This process is very important to all clubs as the leaders of SA implement and regulate policies that affect our club budgets, resources, requirements, etc. This is our chance to interact with the candidates, ask them questions, and learn about their platforms so that we can decide which candidates will best represent the interests of the clubs as well as the overall student population.

As a curious and oftentimes concerned member of the student body, I find myself constantly solicited from every direction by abstract notions, like voting for faceless candidates, platforms without even clear plans of realization of their goals, as well as concerns addressed with only appeasing targeted solutions. Fortunately, this year I must say at least some of us usually apathetic constituents are at least mildly interested. The reason I say this is because as a club member attending yesterday's SISH council endorsements for the upcoming SA e-board elections, I came have to find that the fierce competition between the SA incumbent party, and the freshly grass-rooted Progress party, is new and exciting to watch.

If you frantically start ripping out your hair while listening to the same 10 songs on Kiss 98.5 and Wild 101, you're not alone.

Earlier this week I had to sit through SA club endorsements for candidates running for SA e-board positions. I am fully aware of numerous issues and initiatives that the Student Association has dealt with recently, and I am puzzled as to why the UB Advocates party insists on claiming old initiatives as their own ideas.
