Life in a city

By Jay Wilkinson , TC Daily Planet

Last night I stopped at the Cambodian Chinese restaurant, Kim Huoy Chor, a block west of Snelling on University. It was an Embers back some decades. I was on my own and brought in the Atlantic Monthly to read while working my way through the more than satisfactory buffet. All you can eat plus a drink for under $10 including tax. Not the super-shiny mass production buffets that seem to be popping up in malls around the area. So shoot me, I like all you can eat, even if it gets kinda soggy sometimes. MORE »

Unsurprisingly, many of the older horror franchises have been recently remade or updated—a new Friday the 13th film is opening on Friday the 13th of February, 2009. Horror films have always attracted teenagers and college kids, who flock to theaters in hopes of seeing inventive new death scenes, naked coeds, and gore galore splattering from aliens, demons, monsters, and humans. Most of these films, however, are bland copycats that are simply not scary. Fortunately, that can’t be said about Let the Right One In, the astonishing new Swedish coming-of-age vampire film from director Tomas Alfredson and screenwriter John Ajvide Lindqvist (adapting his own novel, Let Me In). Alfredson and Lindqvist kick the doors in on the generic bloodsuckers and present a new horror classic. MORE »
