Ellen Page laughs. The petite, 20-year-old actress sits with her Chuck Taylor-clad feet resting on the coffee table as she cradles an unnecessarily expensive bottle of water, a direct juxtaposition of her undeniably emo sensibilities.

Despite the snowy weather conditions students, alumni and even parents came out to listen and share poems, prose, fiction stories, and other written works at the Poetry Orgy on Wednesday, in Linthicum Hall. About 40 students attended the event. The event has always been called a Poetry Orgy as a joke, but its main purpose is for all students to exchange poetry, prose, and feelings with one another, senior English major Peter Nealon said.
In my first full year as a movie critic, I saw more movies in 365 days than I ever have before. I missed a few along the way (see my list at the bottom), forgot a few, and I was unfortunate enough to see some stinkers ("Perfect Stranger" and "Hot Rod" to name a couple).
Maybe it's because I'm not under 12 years old or I'm not familiar with the source material, but I completely missed the boat when it came to "The Golden Compass."
