The man running for the Democrats

·

Al Gore has a balanced mix of a rural, Southern background and the experience of living in a political family. He grew up in a small town in Tennessee and his dad was a U.S. Senator. He worked on the family farm, but also attended a private school in Washington, D.C.

\'Beau travail\' has a certain \'Je ne sais quoi\'

·

In the strobe-lit, mirror-endowed empty corner of a discotheque, the pieces of a man\'s existence crash to the ground one by one in the calculated chaos of his dance moves that accompany Corona\'s techno-pop work \"Rhythm of the Night.\" All the stagnant conformity of the French Foreign Legion life he has led has been peeled away to reveal the inner insanity of his loneliness.

No such luck

·

In the new film "Lucky Numbers," playing the Pennsylvania state lottery can be not only dangerous but insanely painful to watch. The star power of John Travolta and Lisa Kudrow as well as the famed directing of Nora Ephron can do nothing to help move this film along.

Dance Marathon: Burning the midnight oil

·

Sleep deprivation -- an affliction that costs the nation as much as $100 billion annually, has been linked to 100,000 auto accidents a year. The crippling fatigue it brings is so much more than statistics. But a college student, aggrieved over the loss of a friend, began a legacy of vigil that makes insomnia honorable for one weekend a year.

First ladies evolve throughout history

·

No one is closer to the president than the first lady. From Martha Washington to Eleanor Roosevelt to Hillary Clinton, the role of the first lady has undergone major changes. While they were once the assumed hostesses of the White House, first ladies during the past few decades have switched their attention from the rose garden to social issues.

Life in the clothed lane

·

While posing nude, True and Pugh serve as an inspiration to artists. But in their everyday life, nudity takes on dimensions unknown to a flat canvas.

The Naked Truth

·

Twenty pairs of eyes stare in your direction, intent on memorizing the curl of your lips, the wrinkles on your brow, the curve of your shoulder. You feel a cold breeze against your back. Shivering, you realize the tiny goose bumps that appear on your skin result from being completely naked. If you think this is your worst nightmare, think again.

City Lights brings Tati masterpiece \'Playtime\' to Ballantine 013

·

If Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton would have successfully survived up until this point in cinema, it is easy to think this is what they would have created. Arguably Jacques Tati's ("Mr. Hulot's Holiday") masterpiece, "Playtime" transports Monsieur Hulot (Tati himself) through the chaotic reality of a French metropolis as he attempts to keep an appointment.

\'Blair Witch 2\' lacking

·

Cashing in on the love-it-or-hate-it cultural phenomenon of last year, "Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2" is an interesting yet highly flawed horror flick and a cynical marketing ploy.

'Vance' shoots par

·

Robert Redford's latest film, "The Legend of Bagger Vance," is exactly everything you expect it to be. It is unlikely that anyone will be disappointed by it, while no one will be surprised by it either. In other words, "Bagger Vance" is "Good Will Hunting" meets "The Horse Whisperer" and "Ordinary People." You can see every generic formula and cliché coming from miles away while watching this film.

Football tries to stay alive

·

Kurt Kittner didn't shy away from criticizing his performance last weekend in Illinois' 14-10 loss at Michigan State. The Illini junior quarterback said even his mom could have made some of the throws he couldn't.

Presidential wives already active in political arena

·

Lynne Cheney and Hadassah Lieberman, wives of vice presidential candidates Dick Cheney and Joseph Lieberman, don't relegate themselves to the role of a smiling, silent sidekick while their husbands fight for the second highest office in the nation. For years both have been known in Washington as fierce politicos in their own right.

Soccer to end season on road

·

This weekend is supposed to be an uneventful one for the men's soccer team. Coach Jerry Yeagley traditionally gives the team a week off before the Big Ten Tournament so it can rest -- both physically and mentally. But this year will be different.
