w
The 25th Hour Aaron Stampler reeval-
uates his life with the help of Scotty
and Roger Maris. Too bad there's only
24 hours in a day ... it doesn't leave

great Spike Lee films from the past
few years. At Showcase: 1:30, 4:15,
7:00, 9:50, 12:35 (Fri. and Sat.)

Just Married In the history of film,
three movies have been released
under this name; nobody has ever
seen any of them. Maybe this one will
Films I
About Schmidt Dear N'dugu, Jack is
back and we think Kathy is a great
actress, but why oh why does the
hot tub scene have to be in the
movie? Those of faint stomach avert
thine eyes. At Showcase: 1:15,

Adaptation Malkovich Malkovich!
Malkovich Malkovich Malkovich.

scorcher! At Showcase: 12:35,
3:00, 5:30, 7:55, 10:20, 12:40 (Fri.
and Sat.) 5 stars
Catch Me if You Can Spielberg's
attempt to make everyone forget
the conundrum that was "Al." Nice
try, but audiences don't forgive so
easily, evendif this movie is so damn
good. At Madstone: 1:05, 4:00,
7:00, 9:45. At Showcase: 12:20,
2:10, 3:15, 3:45, 5:15, 6:45, 8:15,

Sat.), 12:20 (Fri. and Sat.) 4 stars
Die Another Day And the Daily's new
vote for who next should assume the
role of James Bond is .:. Jason
Statham. He was cool as Turkish and
he won our hearts in "The
Transporter." Once he grows some
hair he has our vote. At Showcase:
9:35, 12:15 (Fri. and Sat.) 3 stars
Far From Heaven Exploits the taboos
of 1950's melodramas and exposes
a film like "Magnificent Obsession"
for exactly what it is ... bad. At
Madstone: 1:45, 4:15, 7:05, 9:30 4
stars
Frida Of course Selma is a terrific

Dawn" so well? At Madstone: 1:00,
3:20, 7:00, 9:20 4 stars

not. At Showcase: 1:00, 3:10, 5:20,
7:25, 9:30, 11:45 (Fri. and Sat.)
Narc Wow, another movie about'cor-
rupt cops, but this one's set in Detroit.
A very original spin. Add a disgusting-
ly old-looking, overweight Ray Liotta
to the mix and you have something
nobody has ever wanted to see. At
Showcase: 12:15, 2:40, 5:05, 7:35,
10:10, 12:30 (Fri. and Sat.)
The Pianist Wouldn't it suck to be
stuck in an apartment with a piano
and not be able to make a sound. I
know I'd be upset. But seriously, go
see it. At Showcase: 1:05, 4;05, 7:05,
10:05

Harry Potter and the Chamber of
Secrets Everyone knows that these
stories borrow from just about every
great fantasy ever written, but listen
to Bowie's "The Wild Eyed Boy Who
Lived Under the Stairs" and you will
discover its true origins. At
Showcase: 12:05, 3:20, 6:30 3
stars
Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Dumbledore the first has passed,
and we have yet to recover, but
there is still hope that Gandalf might
find a way to be resurrected for the
third Potter. Would any other great
old English actor fit better ... I think
not. At Madstone: 1:00, 4:15, 7:45

Maid in Manhattan With a modern
Cinderella story, isn't it obvious that
J Lo is trying to develop her acting
with new and different roles? It's ok
though, she's obviously focused on
her booming perfume career. At
Showcase: 12:15, 2:25, 4:40, 7:10,

My Big Fat Greek Wedding Why is
this film still in the theaters? The
DVD is coming out soon. GO AWAY!
At Madstone: 1:10, 3:10, 5:10,
7:10, 9:10 3 stars
Pinocchio Film versions of this story
just don't seem to work out. What
were you thinking Roberto; you must
have done something wrong to have
your movie receive worse reviews
than "Al." At Showcase: 12:00
Standing in the Shadows of Motown
There can be nothing better than
watching a bunch of old musicians
sit around and tell stories, and hav-
ing Bootsie Collins sit in only makes
it better. At Madstone: 1:15, 3:30,
7:15, 9:30 4 stars
Star Trek: Nemesis At least Geordie
can look back at a career as Lamar
Latrell, and Picard is now Professor
Xavier. Look for the Number 1 spin-
off coming this fall. At Showcase:
9:05, 11:30 (Fri. and Sat.)
Two Weeks Notice Gee, a movie with
Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant ... I
wonder if they end up falling in love.

For the Daily
Upon entering college, one anx-
iously looks forward to an exhila-
rating social scene filled with new
friends, adventures and lasting
memories. However, students here
at the University, where we have
just as many libraries as bars, often
ponder what to do if under the age
of 21.
Luckily, we have formulated a list
of "alternative" activities for the
weekend if you just aren't "into" the
bar scene or literally cannot get in.
"I am so sick of the typical bar
scene in Ann Arbor. I feel like every
weekend I go to the same bar and I
see the same people and do the same
thing. I just wish there were other
things to do in Ann Arbor because it

would be fun to attend adventurous,
perhaps culturalevents," said Lauren
Kovacs, an LSA senior.
Sporting events are a great way to
meet other University students and
support athletic teams.
If you'd rather be an athlete than a
spectator, Rock n' Bowl may be a
good choice for entertainment.
Colonial Lanes, located on South
Industrial Avenue, offers Rock
n'Bowl on weekends.
Local movie theaters such as the
State Theater, the Michigan Theater
and Quality 16, offer discount stu-
dent prices.
For women looking for a racier
evening, Cavern Club, located on
First Street, offers admission to
women 19 and over on Thursday
nights.
Although they are not able to
drink, they can dance and have fun
with their friends (and obviously
older boys too).
Another club, The Necto, which
is located on East Liberty Street,
also offers admission to underage
students.
Although not commonly thought
of as a date place, museums are
often a great venue for meeting peo-
ple. The Ann Arbor Hands-On
Museum offers an intellectual yet
fun way to spend quality time.

ficult for most, but Planet Rock

both worlds. Located right on State

"Because I am under 21 years old,
I feel like my social life here is sim-
ilar to high school. We all meet at
the same place on the weekends
looking for something fun and
exciting to do. I can't wait until I am
21, because I ,will finally be able to

effective for Saturday and Sunday only.

Maybe the bar owners should just
let younger people in without drink-
ing, or perhaps someone can take
the initiative and find things for
people to do at U of M who are
under 21 years old," said LSA fresh-
man Jenny Katz.
