Wilder Center paves University Avenue green

By Lisa Peterson-de la Cueva , TC Daily Planet

Here’s a challenge for you to try at your office tomorrow. Fit all of your waste into a five-inch trashcan. Go ahead, walk your recyclables over to the super organized recycling area. Take a look at your lighting situation. Flip the switch on only when it’s not streaming in from the windows. Did you stop for that paper cup of coffee from your morning commute? Don’t do that. And while you’re at it, try biking to work, carpooling, or taking public transportation. MORE »

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 »
