Disney's newest big-screen film, "The Greatest Game Ever Played," features a lower-class 20-year-old golf amateur struggling to prove himself to both the snooty gentlemen's world and his unsupportive father. Under Bill Paxton's direction, the film inches along a predictable path characterized by class struggle, a transition from youth to manhood and the determined protagonists' eventual success at the game.
After a lackluster summer film season, it's up to fall to offer some movie redemption. The end of August and the majority of September are referred to as "dumping grounds," where the studios dump all their movies that don't fit in either the packed summer season or the end-of-the-year Oscar season.
The characters in the latest Tim Burton film are dead, and other aspects of the film aren't too lively either. "The Corpse Bride" is the latest addition to Burton's long repertoire of imaginative and typically melancholic inventions and his second legitimate animated (or rather, "claymated") film.
For many, just speaking another language is a challenge, let alone singing in one. For lead singer Sabina Sciubba of Brazilian Girls, singing sultry lyrics in five languages comes as second-nature. The New York City-formed band - made up of keyboardist Didi Gutman, bassist Jesse Murphy, drummer Aaron Johnston and singer Sabina Sciubba - values their comfortable beginnings.
For an artist routinely compared to a slew of other singer-songwriters, Tristan Prettyman is startlingly unique. The laid-back California native combines a clean acoustic sound with simple beats, and her low, breathy voice perfectly complements her honest and unassuming lyrics.
Soussi 2228 18th St. N.W. The weather is beautiful. The temperature is calm, the breeze is crisp, and it just feels right to be outside this time of year. Before we know it, fall is going to turn to winter, and making a trip outside my apartment, let alone to any bar, is going to seem like a chore.

Last year, during The Hatchet's Student Association presidential endorsement hearings, a main criterion for this page's support called for a candidate with a pragmatic approach to the SA's potential as a student services organization. Thus far, SA President Audai Shakour and his peers in the Senate have worked hard to transform the governing organization from an abstract, issue-based, deliberative body into an organization that provides students with services, such as the planned Dulles Airport holiday shuttle and an upcoming Web site that will allow students to trade books online.
I've spent the past several days contemplating the juxtaposition of two seemingly disparate events.

It is only a glimpse, however, of the hardships that a destitute and poorly governed yet optimistic Mexican population tackles, even when directly juxtaposed against a nation to its north that squanders its luxuries.
"Student bites cop." We all saw this headline in The Hatchet (Sept. 15, p. 1). When I read the article, it came as no surprise to me and other Hatchet readers that this girl was drunk when she did this. In a recent edition of The Hatchet, the Crime Log (Sept.
