Z ombie culture
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
Though the idea of
zombies originated
as an association
with Voodoo practices, theories of the
living dead are gaining popularity due
to their influx into
horror films in theaters today.
Zombie culture exploded in
1968 with the release of George
A. Romero's film "Night of the
Living Dead." The idea of reanimated corpses infected with a
virus died down for a while but
is now making a comeback.
Film director George A.
Romero has a cult following
after establishing the idea of
zombies in his films, especially
"Dawn of the Dead," where the
dead rise and mindlessly hunt
living humans. Now modern
directors and thinkers are
expanding on zombie theory
causing me to fair in love with
zombie culture.
Directors often repeat the
formula for zombie films, but
nonetheless, they are always
exciting. There is a mysterious
outbreak of the virus that reanimates corpses and then hordes
of the infected grow as they
stack up a high body count.
Then the protagonist and others
bond together out of necessity
tofightand survive.
I find the struggle to perpetuate humanity a brilliant
concept. Few horror
films besides zombie
films feature the fright
where an ally can suddenly become the protagonist's enemy due
to a virus.
Zombie stories also
offer insight on popular culture. Films
such as "Dawn of the
Dead" and "Shaun of thé Dead"
cleverly compare normal life with
the activities of zombies to make
a statement. The mentioned films
show the audience how people
become zombies because of the
way routine and consumerism
makes their lives mundane.
Other insight based on zombies
comes from metaphors based on
religion. Some zombie stories pin
the blame on humanity for the
outbreak. These films claim that
the virus is punishment for living
immoral lives.
Alternatively, some films claim
that the dead are rising because
there is no more room in Hell. Both
are preposterous, but get across the
idea that we should behave better
as a civilization because there are
consequences.
The once popular idea of zombies
brought about by Romero's films is
once again gaining popularity for
whatever reason. Whether it's the
excitement of horror films such as
"28 Days Later" or the fun generated from zombie-themed video
games such as the "Resident Evil"
series or "Left 4 Dead," popular culture is getting into zombies again.

C ould the recession help
my sex life a nd relationship?
BY IVAN GARCIA
list off some reasons
*
ther, I have to confess, I have NO idea
at all as to the state of the economy at
this time. I do not know what a recession is and something called a "stimulus
package" j ust sounds like an overpriced
sexual implant for men.
If I were somehow (and god forbid)
ruler/king/hegemon/etc. of America one
day, I would think that fixing the economic crisis would just be to print more
money* And also to take guns away from
Dick Cheney, permanently! Officials
say that we're out of money, so print
more, or let's replace dollars with something that's more abundant, like grass or
ketchup packets.
Beyond my delusional fantasies, the
question still remains: does a recession
improve our sex life? Our relationships?
Personally, I think it goes both ways. On
the physical side of the spectrum, I think
a recession would totally help out when it
comes to "doing the d eed/' Think about
it: there's a recession taking place and
everyone is tight on money. Obviously,
that means couples will start going out
less and staying in more meaning that
watching "A Walk to Remember" will
lose its appeal a fter the ninety-seventh
time. Considering how much I love that
movie, personally, I think it is ten times
better than "The Notebook." I can never
personally get tired of a tragic love story
featuring Mandy Moore and.. .some other
guy. It's j ust genuinely sweet without the
fan-base of millions of screaming teenyboppers chanting for more vampires.
Couples nowadays will have to find
more activities to do in the comfort of
their own home (free) instead of going to
expensive places (not free). So what are
two hormone-enraged lovers to do with
an empty apartment/home/etc. and an
empty bed? Sleep...or not (har har)!
That's right, having sex is definitely
going to become an activity practiced
more often as opposed
to spending money. But
even so, don't ever sacrifice t hriftiness for safety. Go out, buy protection
and use it! There are organizations
that provide free condoms, dental
dams, and so forth, so please take
advantage of those resources.
Please make sure you switch it up
when it comes to having sex. I would
assume that the "bionic seahorse"
would get boring eventually. Be
adventurous and try something new,
otherwise, your sex life could be as
depressing as October 29, 1929.
On the other end of the spectrum,
this recession might actually cause
some disruptions in the relationship aspect as well. One of the biggest, if not the biggest, reasons as to
why couples fight is due to financial
concerns. Sure enough, with an economic crisis of this magnitude occurring, this is the time to watch for any
falling television sets from 7th story
windows. Financial stability is definitely a factor when it comes to relationships. Unfortunately, we live in a
capitalist society. The wbrld revolves
around the idea of consumerism (just
look at prostitution or iTunes).
Think about it. You and your partner, sifting back enjoying a nice dinner
that you made at home. Suddenly, he/
she asks how much the ingredients
cost and all hell breaks loose because
you bought Prego tomato sauce
instead of the bargain brand. In these
cases, I like to reply with sarcasm,
"So what? I can take your plate of
delicious lasagna away if that'll make
you feel better." I wouldn't recommend this action unless physical violence or rough sex turns you on.
Amidst the hardest of times, always
remember that a relationship requires
hard work, a team effort, and understanding even though the situation
may be out of anyone's control. At
the very worst of times, make sure
you remember your friends and hobbies, watch a favorite movie or listen
to a favorite song like "Cool for Cats"
by Squeeze. That one, in particular,
always seems to set the mood.

You need to follow this important
principle to find yourself financially secure someday. For every
paycheck you receive, for your

first chunk of your income to an

Never use this money for anything

Your financial independence will

University Student Union Student Forums
As Cal State San Marcos continues to grow and approach its 20th anniversary, we are
exploring options for constructing a facility for campus life, programming, social
interactions, and leadership development that will impact the entire campus community.
The proposed University Student Union (USU) project will enhance the quality of campus
life by providing a mix of informal gathering spaces, retail and food services, and venues
for events. However, an increase to the existing Student Union fee would be necessary to
support construction and ongoing operational costs associated with the facility.
CSUSM will be utilizing an alternative consultation process which provides opportunities
for student, faculty, and staff input regarding the proposed USU building and student fee
increase through forums and a website (http://www.csusm.edu/usuA designed to be both
educational and a means to obtain feedback. This feedback will then be compiled into a
report and presented to the Student Fee Advisory Committee and President Haynes.
Your participation is crucial to the process since the proposed University Student Union
will have broad implications affecting many aspects of campus life. By attending one of
the forums, you will have an opportunity to learn more about the proposed building, view
artist renderings, ask questions and provide us with your thoughts and ideas.
The open student forums are scheduled as follows:
• February 25,2009 in the Clarke Field House,
Room 113, from 5:30 to 6:30 |j.m.
• March 12,2009 in Markstein Hall,
Room 125, f rom 12:00 to 1:00 p.m.

The R .A. convention
BY BILL RHEIN
Senior Staff Writer
By worldly standards, most
people would mark RAs as nerds.
That is probably true. We spend
our weekends ensuring CSUSM
does not degrade into a wasteland
of alcohol and drugs described by
rapper Asher Roth's song "I Love
College." We even go to conferences to meet and be with other
RAs.
In November 2008, we went to
Scripps College for the Southern
Residential Activities Programming (SRAP) conference. This
conference, which began in the
1970-'71 school year at UCLA,
is a one-day gathering of RAs
from Southern California. This
year's theme was "008- License
to Thrill," a pun on James Bond
movies.
The conference is about all
things RA. There is a keynote
speaker who talks about college
life and workshops where other
RAs share ideas for programming.
Parts of the festivities include
awards for individuals and schools
with good programming ideas as
well as the "Spirit Stick" award.
This prize goes to the school with
not only the most spirit, but also
those who participate in philanthropy, programming ideas, and
festive giveaways.
To match the theme of undercover secret agents, we dressed
up as Waldo, from the book series
"Where's Waldo?" The judges^
appreciated our costumes, program
ideas, and attitude because for the
second year in a row we won the
"Spirit Stick."
We might have looked like fools
dressed in red and white shirts and
going away for a day to talk about
how to serve out residents better,
but that is what it means to be an
RA. It requires humility, but I find
it a source of pride as well. The
SRAP conference is a day to prove
that RAs are nerds, but we enjoy
being there for our residents.

The Breax
Hip-hop for the soul
BY MATT LEWIS
Pride Staff Writer
On February 11 at 6 p m, a
Christian Hip-Hop show hosted
by a group called The Breax
performed at the Clarke Field
House.
The Breax is made up of three
artists: Ruslan Karaoglanov, the
emcee and a CSUSM student,
Beleaf, the DJ from Baltimore,
Maryland, andMic B, the drummer who isfromOceanside. The
event included local artists like
Heavenly HostfromOceanside,
and a Portland, Oregon native
artist called Braille.
This event marked the beginning of the "Broken Television"
tour for The Breax, which will
take them to New York City,
Maryland, and Los Angeles.
The idea of the concert was to

let The Breax and the local artists
express themselves and their beliefs
through both Hip-Hop music and
spoken word poetry.
"Hip-Hop is a powerful medium,
and it is important to support artists you enjoy as well as local rising
Hip-Hop artists," said CSUSM student Rajah Gainey to the crowd
shortly before the show.
The performance opened with
songs from local artists, including
one from Oceanside called Heavenly Host. Although he only played
a few songs, his powerful instrumentais and thoughtful lyrics made
him a crowd favorite.
Next was Braille, a.k.a Bryan
Winchester, from Portland, who
incorporated a lot more dancing
into his songs and had a much
longer set than the first two artists. He definitely had much more
experience with stage presence,
and was able to use humor and
enthusiastic showmanship to get
the crowd ready for the main event.
Although he will not be touring
with The Breax, he will be playing local venues in the near future
(go to www.braillehiphop.com for
more information).
The Breax themselves com-

manded the audience's attention
most out of all the groups. The fact
that they use a live drum set (played
by Mic B) and used turntables made
their songs much easier for the audience to get into. Their sound is
reminiscent of the People under
the Stairs and Dilated Peoples, with
obvious influencesfromgroups like
The Roots and Common.
In addition to entertaining the
crowd with audience-influenced
freestyles and spoken word monologues from all the members, the
group conveyed how their beliefs
have had a positive effect on both
their music and their lives.
"It's good to see groups conveying a positive message through HipHop, instead of the typical stuff you
see on TV," said Anthony Carlson,
a junior at CSUSM. "It seems much
harder to promote a positive message through your beliefs than to
give into societal pressure."

H ow to build a nd keep a high credit score
BY JESSENIA LUA
Pride Staff Writer
Ever wonder what determines
your credit score? For many ofus, it's
a guessing game of confusing numbers only hoping to be high enough
to financially qualify us for anything.
Having a high credit score is important because it shows lenders you are
responsible andfinanciallytrustworthy. With a high credit score, you
can borrow moneyfrombanks with
better interest rates, easily qualify to
rent a home, and in some cases, get
a new job.
If you just turned 18 and have no
credit history whatsoever, a great
way to establish credit would be to
open a checking and savings account
with a bank. Deposits, withdrawals,
and transfers are a constructive way
of showing financial responsibility. Starting slow is the best way to
establish credit. Instead of jumping
in and applying for a major credit
card with a high credit limit, try to go
for something simple like a gasoline
credit card or even a line of credit at a
department store.
Within time, your credit will
slowly build up to represent a financially trustworthy person.
Credit scores are determined by
using the FICO scoring system
FICO is an acronym for Fair Isaac
Company who developed this
system that became the standard
creditworthiness for potential borrowers. FICO calculates your credit
score by considering anything from
payment history, amounts owed,
length of credit history, new credit,
and types of credit used. Credit
scores are anywhere between 300 to
850 with 300 being the poorest credit
and 850 being the highest credit
Keeping a high credit score is critically important especially when you
are venturing out on your own. One
thing that can help keep your credit
score high is by always making payments on time. Missing and avoiding credit payments is the easiest
way to damage your credit. If you
forgettomake a payment and pay
it three days late, not to worry, this
one little mistake will nbt affect your
credit score. However, consecutively
missing payments will definitely
bring your score down. Also, if you
have unexpected emergencies, credit
companies will work out a payment
plan to prevent any damagetoyour
credit. While making payments to
credit companies, it is not necessary
to make the full balance payment,
but it is necessary to at least make
the full minimum payment
Credit scores are not determined
by your age, but by the history of
financial responsibility. Payment
history is the most important factor
in determining your credit score.
However, having too many open
credit accounts can hurt your credit
The fewer the credit cards you have,
the better. Lenders might interpret
several open credit cards as risky
behavior.
If you have fallen into some hardships, there are a few things you can
do to get your credit back on track.
For one, don't be afraid to consolidate. If you're overwhelmed by
all your payments and have M en
behind, choosing a non-profit credit
counseling program can help you
•H
UniversityVoice
Photos by Diana Valdivia/Pride Staff Writer
improve your credit. Debt consolidation usedtohave negative effects on
credit, but now only helps improve
it. Craig Watts, an executive at Fair
Isaac & Co., says, 'Today the FICO
score ignores any and all references
in a credit reporttocredit counseling
or debt management programs."
Always avoid bankruptcy completely. Bankruptcy can knock 200
or more pointsfromyour otherwise
fair credit score, and recovering from
it is verytough.Bankruptcy can stay
on your record forupto10years,and
the majority of lenders will reject
bankrupt consumers.
Long story short, the next time
you find yourself wondering about
your credit, remember to start small
to end up big, be patienttolet it grow,
and always make your payments on
time.

" How much of a difference d o you think O bama's plan will m ake?"
'We'll see if it creates jobs. They
need to regulate the money so we
can see where the money is getting
spent Like Obama said it will take
time to see a difference."
"I believe that Obama's stimulus
package has good intentions
but for a student it may he very
confusing to allocate where the
money is being distributed"
"From looking at different areas
that are going to benifitfromthe
stimulus plan like $4 billion going

new administration, they do seem
to put more emphasis on education,
more money will go to schools»
That 's going to be a good thing."
"I think it will have a good impact
on both the economy and the
school campus. For the economy
it'll create more jobs for people
and hopefully boost the economy
in the next few years. For the
campus I think it will help with
struggling tuition costs and budget
cuts that have been made/'
"It can be a positive result
from the Obama administration
directing funds towards
education. It might be a small
bandaid on a bigger social
problem."

C ongress a pproves stimulus p ackage
Billions to boost financial aid, tax
This past Friday, the stimulus package
passed through Congress. The stimulus
package is a $787 billion bill that President
Obama will sign early this week. There is
no doubt that this package will go down in
history without any controversy. The House
passed the bill with no Republican support,
246 votes in favor and 183 votes against.
The Senate had a similar situation, 60 to 38
votes, with only three Republican votes in
favor.
According to the Associated Press and
USA Today, the package will include billions towards colleges, public schools, and
students.
The package includes the largest funding increase for Pell Grants. Nationally
the package incorporates almost $17 billion just for the Pell Grant program alone.
Currently eligible students' benefits go up
to $4,700. With this package, financial aid
would increase nearly 9 percent starting
July 1 and up to $5,550 in 2010. Most beneficiary students come from families whose
income is less than $40,000.
Another benefit that would come along is
a tax credit. $13 billion would go towards
higher education tax credits. Students at
four-year colleges and their families are to
benefit from a higher education tax credit
that would go up $2,500. According to the
San Francisco Chronicle, in California
alone, this tax credit could help more than
500,000 students.
It is calculated that California would get
the most out of this package. Over the next
two years, California would receive 10 percent, around $80 billion, of the package.
California's current budget deficit would
benefit from this package. The state is currently at a record high $42 billion deficit.
College life among students will definitely be affected by the stimulus package.
Student Michael Medel explained, "When
it comes to college students, I do think that
the stimulus package will positively affect
many potential and current students who
couldn't afford to pay for college.
"By increasing the amount of eligible
students for the Pell Grant and helping with
tax benefits, the plan might give that extra
push to people who were only thinking
about attending college to actually attend
and help current students stay in college to
finish their degrees," continued Medel.
Another student, Daniela Fulop, believes
the stimulus package will have a positive
effect. "I'm very optimistic about Obama's

plan. I believe it will make a difference,
especially for college students. In these
times, we need all the help we can get!"
Fulop commented on the difference this
stimulus package will have on students,
"I'm sure we'll see some differences,
at least on our Financial Aid Reports.
Those who got little or no financial aid
in the past, now have higher hopes. I'm
thankful that they are concerned about
us 'poor college students!'"
Other benefits from this stimulus
package include $39 billion towards
K-12 grade schools and colleges that
would help to prevent state budge cuts.
Additionally, nearly $8 billion would go
to schools' priorities such as building
renovations.
More than $4 billion would be for the
Head Start, for other early education programs and childcare programs.
Home purchases fromfirst-timehomebuyers before December 1 would be eligible for an $8,000 tax credit. Also, consumers purchasing a new car would be
eligible to write off the sales taxes.
Starting around June, workers who
earn less than $75,000 would get a $400
tax dredit, about $13 extra each weekly
paycheck. The tax credit would go up to
$800 for couples who combined income |
earn less than $150,000. These tax creck

Chancellor Reed stated in a recent
communication release to CSU employees that the previously proposed $66 million budget cut will be permanent. He
also established a fixed full-time equivalent student (FTES) number for fiscal
year 08-09 and 09-10. FTES is a method
of calculating the student population in
terms of bodies and units taken.
Essentially, we are in a zero population growth situation, which equates to
a very simplistic approximation that for
every student that goes out the door,
one can come in. As a result, first-time
college applicants may find acceptance
harder to come by. The state decided to
have the CSUs take a regional approach
t o enrollment, meaning local applicants
have priority.
One of the problems of zero growth
isgthat the money coming in remains
the same, so there has to be an increase
in fees. The proposed fee increase for
next year is 10%. In lieu of that negative
image, Chancellor Reed froze salaries
for CSU Vice Presidents and above, as

also very specific and don't contribute to

The belt tightening also affects equipment
purchases. This consists of facilities design
and construction, which includes new educational building construction and upgrade
of old buildings. You will be happy to know,
however, that construction of our new parking facility will be unaffected by these
budget cuts since the funds for construction
are provided through private funds, bond
issues, and of course your parking fees.
The McMahan House is also included
in this elite category since it is privately
funded. The McMahan House is the construction project on the hill just above the
Track and Field competition area. It is to
be a ceremonial meeting place between the
community and the University.
Neal Hoss, CSUSM Vice President ofUniversity Advancement, stated that "whatever
the budget realities are, the campus and university leadership are committed to moving
forward and doing the best we can."
In talking to Margaret Lutz, Public Information Officer, she said that the general
morale of staff personnel was good, despite
the budget cutbacks and wage freezes.
Lutz further explained, "It is probably the
number one issue on everyone's mind...
faculty, staff and students. But President
Haynes has positioned the university pretty
good... knowing that there might be a shortfall this year. We are better off than a lot of
the universities in the system, regarding the
budget. And I think that is because of President Haynes' foresight... anticipating the
situation and having us watch the expenditures closely last year."

A slice of Philly in S an M arcos
BY MATT LEWIS
Pride Staff Writer
If there is anything that the residents of Philadelphia, PA, are more
proud of, it is their Philly cheesesteaks. The ingredients are simple
enough: roast beef, cheese, onions,
and Italian bread (with many variations containing banana peppers,
pizza sauce, etc.). But residents of
Philly are often quick to pass harsh
judgment on these 'imitators' and
claim that a cheesesteak outside
of Philly just is not the same. One
local restaurant, however, is giving
places that claim to serve 'real'
cheesesteaks a run for their money.
This place is Philly Franks, located
at 151S. Rancho Santa Fe Road (left
off the exit) and is San Marcos' pre-
mier cheesesteak emporium.
Philly Franks was startedby Linda
and Frank Soper, the co-owners of
the restaurant, who continue to run
the restaurant as a family business.
"We are from Philly originally;
we've lived in San Diego for 35
years, and having been running this
place for 9 years" says Linda Soper.
If experience has taught them anything, it's that the two most valuable
things in life are family and food.
Not only does this restaurant make
_great food, it provides a sense of
community and home to local residents who hail from Pennsylvania.
The store is decorated with all sorts
of paraphernalia from the Eagles,
Sixers, Phillies, and Flyers. In addition to the décor, they serve local
products you just can't find in Cali-
fornia, like Tastykakes, Wise chips,
and Esposito's Italian Ices.
"The first time I went in there,
I knew they were the real deal. I
mean, to import that local food in
addition to the atmosphere really
makes it unique to San Diego. Plus,
the food is incredible" said Geoff
Acres, a San Diego resident and
Philly transplant. Tina McAleese,
the manager, imparts the sense of
community people have in the restaurant: "When people get together
here, whether they talk to us or the
customers or the locals, and they
get to talk about their hometown
and the stuff they care about, that's
really special." So most people
come to Philly Franks for the food,
many more stay for the casual and
friendly atmosphere and the oppor-
tunity to catch a game with friends.
Some Cai State students have
been singing Philly Franks praises
since they opened. "The cheesesteaks are awesome, plus the feet
that they're local makes it seem
likefriendsare running the place"
said Anthony Carlson, a junior at
CSUSM. "I remember they once
sponsored a blading contest down
at the Kit Carson Park, and brought
the grill out and everything: It was
awesome, there's no way any chain
restaurant would do something
like that". With its close proximity to campus and selection of fine
beers (including Stone and Alaskan
Amber), Philly Franks is definitely
worth checking out Need more
incentive? Well, they also offer a
10% discount with your student
ID. And when looking at the menu
and are unsure of what to get, just
remember the Philly saying: "It's all
good!"

tures and misadventures working
in a number of less-than-reputable eating establishments.
Perhaps the most important
part of the book is the stereotype
of the happy, obedient and invisible chef people often tend to
believe. The cooks he talks about
are real people— people like all
of us: mean, funny, addicted to
drugs, in debt for gambling, have
families. The chef community is
full of bitter people who swear,
get angry, and commit crimes,
not unfeeling robots who cook
food. There is a person behind
that $150 foie gras meal you
ordered. — a person who probably would have to save for weeks
to afford the very same meal.
The book used somewhat of a
dark humor and defiant attitude in
describing the modern restaurant
scene that may seem a little harsh
for some readers. Bourdain's
writing style is not intended to
put readers off, but to open their
eyes. Every person has flaws and
emotions, and its time restaurant

it's an entertaining and funny

it means that there's more to story

D VD hits & misses
BY BLAINE H. MOGIL
Pride Staff Writer
Welcome to the second installment
of a new feature in The Pride. Here,
you will find reviews of a wide range
of DVD's including new releases f rom
the Hollywood movie factory, indie art
films, documentaries, rockumentaries
and mockumentaries, and even some
foreign flix to broaden your movie
horizons. From week to week expect
to find a mix of 'What to See' or
'What to Miss' films, or perhaps some
'What You Missed' films, to help you
to uncover a video gem hiding in the
dusty corner of the local Video Store
(or on Netflix!).
Our f irst selection this week is the
highly praised, highly hyped and
highly anticipated Hollywood Comic
Book blockbuster, f eaturing Batman
in "The Dark Knight." First, let it
be known that although I love many
comic book movies based on characters such as Hellboy and the X-Men, I
am not a Bat-fan. Also, when viewing
any movie that has garnered as much
praise as this one, such great expectations can easily lead to great disappointment. With "The Dark Knight,"
I f ind myself straining to hold back
on the praise. No one should be disappointed because I over-hyped it. Heath
Ledger. Wow. He delivers a stellar performance unlike any I have ever seen.
I don't think I will ever see a performance this great again. In this f ilm,
Heath Ledger doesn't simply create
a character. He is the Joker mind,
body and soul. His performance is so
entrancing* and shines so bright that
it almost, almost, leaves everyone else
in the shadows. But with an amazing
cast including such g ifted actors such
as Michael Caine portraying A lfred,
Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox, Gary
Oldman as Commissioner Gordon,
and Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent,
there is little chance that Ledger's
shining star p erformance will completely eclipse the others. The movie
sets create a world so real that i t's
authenticity never comes into question. The direction, camera work and
editing are all f irst rate. And, the story
itself is a nicely woven tale of love,
love lost, and the s acrifices we make
in the interest of making our world a
better place. If you can see it in BluRay, make sure you do. The bottom
line is that this movie is not only a
solid ' What to See', but also a 'Not to
Miss.' *****
Our second film, "The Visitor" is
the second film f rom indie writer/director Thomas McCarthy, whose first film,
"The Station Agent," was a solid, quirky,
and heartwarming story of friendship and
connection. This film f urther examines
these themes with Richard Jenkins delivering a solid performance as Professor
Walter Vale. Walter has lost his wife, his
connections to the world, and his sense
of purpose. When Walter returns to his
apartment in the city for the first time in
years, he encounters Tarek and Zainab,
portrayed by Haaz Sleiman and Mouna
Khalil, who have rented the apartment
f rom one of Tarek's acquaintances. In the
aftershock of finding strangers living in
his apartment, Walter finds a bond growing with his newfound friends, Tarek
and Zainab. This connection can clearly
be f elt while watching the movie. Tarek
and Zainab are both here in the country
illegally. As events play out and Tarek is
torn f rom Walter's life, Walter desperately grasps to hold onto Tarek, and will
not willingly let him go. Do not look for
a happy, clean Hollywood plot line or
ending. Just know that if you are feeling
a drift and disconnected in this world,
this film j ust might help you to find your
path back to connection. Don't live a life
disconnected, and don't miss connecting
to this solid 'What to See' film. ****
The final selection this week is a documentary about competitive break dancing entitled "Planet B-Boy." The stories
in this film are at times a little choppy,
and the editing a little sloppy. You may
wish that they had not cut out so much
of the actual competition video footage. That's the bad news. On the p lus
side, this film follows several competitive break dance (also known as B-Boy)
teams f rom around the world as they converge in Germany for the B-Boy "Battle
of the Year" competition. The competitors come f rom countries all over the
world including Japan, South Korea,
France, the United States and more, all
trying to f ulfill the common dream of
being named the best B-Boy team on the
planet. If you are not familiar with this
art form, this film is the perfect introduction. All of these young men are committed to their art, their teammates and the
hope to show the world that their country
has the best B-Boy dancers in the world.
There is majesty in their dance, there
is athleticism in their performance and
a brotherhood within and among teams
that transcends the sport. My w ife said
it best a fter watching this film when she
said, "Maybe i t'll be an Olympic Sport
someday." That day can't come soon
enough for me. "What to See" for shiz-

People going to the cinema
this week will have better luck
at enjoying a film if they choose
one already in theaters. There are
only two major films releasing
this week, neither are worth the
price of a ticket.
First, there is Tyler Perry's
"Madea Goes To Jail." Actor and
director Tyler Perry once again
brings back his character Mable
Simmons, nicknamed "Madea,"
who is a sassy older AfricanAmerica woman. He continues
to milk this "cash cow" that he
started in 2005 with "Dairy of a
Mad Black Woman "

As the title would
suggest, this movie is
about Madea going to
jail. Like other movies
by Perry, I expect this
to be a flick based
around jokes and gags
rather than a plot. In
the end, there will be an

The other new entry to cinemas this week is "Fired Up!"
The movie poster, which boasts
two large letters, an "F" and a
"U," does not inspire hope that
thisfilmwill be any'good. "Fired
Up!" is about two guys going to
a cheerleader camp and the silliness that occurs. I expect this
film to be an emulsion of other
teen comedies, such as "Bring It
3 00 GIRLS.
YOU D O THE MATH.

On," rather than anything entertaining or new.
Frankly, this film is going to be
a waste of time. It is not artful or
entertaining and will only gain
an audience of teenagers because
it borders on soft-coré pornography. Unfortunately, movies like
this will continue to be made
because people who cannot
handle a decent film go to see
them.
