'Real World' overshadowed by reality

CHICAGO - "I came into the house on uncertain grounds, and I leave on uncertain grounds," Kyle writes in a letter, oblivious to the cameraman peering over his shoulder.

'Tenenbaums' has heart, wit

At heart, "The Royal Tenenbaums" is a fairly simple family story. The family itself, however, is not so simple. Directed by Wes Anderson and co-written by Anderson and Owen Wilson, the film chronicles the creation, failures and eventual reunion of the Tenenbaums - an idiosyncratic but gifted family in New York City.

'Sideshow' full of shocking lessons

With mechanized carnival attractions, curtained rooms that reveal grotesque surprises and a blatant feminist undertone, The Sideshow of the Absurd is as different from your average traveling art show as cubism is from the Baroque.

Starsailor's light, fluffy Brit pop sound hits U.S.

As America's latest pop delivery from the U.K., Starsailor has already made ripples across the pond. Its sound is somewhat fresh but many of the songs are teetering on the edge of power ballad status. It is apparent that the music of this indie rock quartet from Northwest England is a backlash from the more experimental and ponderous work of established bands such as Radiohead. The group's mild cheesiness is refreshing if you are in the mood to clean your palate and return to the lighter side of British pop.

A bevy of box office potential

Well, the holidays are almost upon us, and as I face an entire month of potential unemployment, it behooves me to find some form of entertainment that my indigent comrades and I can charge on a credit card. That said, this year's bumper crop of big-budget Hollywood movies looks like it might have something for everyone - from period pieces to crime thrillers; cheesy family tearjerkers to gritty boxing films.

LETTER: Racism more than skin deep

I am writing in hopes of pointing out the deeper problems of racism. The most common views center around the idea that the existence of racism is solely an ignorant hate of another based on skin color of a person due to his or her makeup.

Strokes debut album is 'It'

Earlier this year, The Strokes released The Modern Age, a three song EP that single-handedly captured the collective interest of the music scene. With its debut album, Is This It, a frenzy of media accolades erupted, hailing the group as quite possibly the best new band to emerge out of New York - and the United States - in years.

LETTER: UNM should recycle luminaria remnants

It was nice to see Lewis Jacob's delightful photo of the luminaria glow in Smith Plaza on the front page of Monday's Lobo. However, it was hard for me to enjoy the sight with my knowledge of what happened to these paper lanterns early the next morning. As I walked across campus on my way to Zimmerman Library, I was appalled to see the slumped over luminarias being thrown one after the other into trash bags.
