MOVIE REVIEW “The Brothers Solomon”

Jeff Evans Movie and Music Critic

When the creative minds of cast members from Saturday Night Live come together in a feature film, it’s usually a hit-or-miss situation. “The Brothers Solomon,” in this case, didn’t even show up on the radar. Dean (Will Forte) and John Solomon (Will Arnett) were a little sheltered growing up. Since their mother’s death at an early age, the boys never really had a chance to develop the necessary social skills that are required to interact with their peers. Home-schooled in the North Pole and now living together in an apartment complex, the Solomon brothers seem to be struggling in the dating scene. With their happy-go-lucky at- titudes and ecstatic outlook on life, Dean and John simply creep out every woman they meet. After their father (Lee Majors) Photo courtesy of Columbia TriStar Marketing Group. unexpectedly falls into a coma, Dean (Will Forte) and John Solomon (Will Arnett) prepare to donate sperm for surrogacy in their new film, “The Brothers Solomon.” the brothers pull together to fulfill their father’s dying wish, to have a more disappointment.

Brad Michael Negulescu World News Editor He’s Alive This week, our nation commemorated the sixth anniversary of my Osama bin Laden appears on video for first time since 2004 generation’s day of infamy. It’s difficult for me to even put the experi- ence of 9/11 into words.

Those attacks didn’t scare us into capitulation, instead they angered us into resolute action. Americans did not wave the white flag, we waved our flag. Red, white and blue was everywhere in the months following the attacks. People put flags on their cars and homes, signs saying “we will never forget” were all over the place, and a love for this country and what America stood for was thrust upon a generation that had previously took it for granted. I’ll leave you with a story. I remember going to an Indians game shortly after 9/11. It was the first time I had stood for the National Anthem since the attacks. Listening to that song, which I had heard hundreds of times before, sounded different now that my country was at war. I also remember looking at an older gentleman, probably in his seventies with his hand over his heart listening to Francis Scott Key’s words. It dawned on me that now people my age had a reason to heed those words and to have pride in that song and what it meant, the same way that I could tell he had. It’s amazing how experiences like that can change a young person’s outlook on things. And overall, that’s what 9/11 did for me. I will take the images and lessons of that day to my grave. The heroes that died that day deserve at least that from all of us hope- fully ensuring nothing like that will ever happen again to us, our children, or even their children. I, for one, will never forget.

BE THERE! 17 The Carroll News Editorialwww.wjcu.org/cn September 13, 2007 Editorial Expanded parking lot Growing space concerns have caused the University to re- evaluate parking for underclassmen. In an effort to tackle the problem of limited spaces, JCU has expanded parking options to sophomores and first year students. A parking area located at the shopping center in the northwest corner of the Cedar/Warrensville intersection (right behind Chipo- tle) is now being rented by the University from the municipality of South Euclid. This expansion proves to be a step in the right direction of addressing the parking issue, but this is just a temporary solu- tion to fix the problem. The university should find a long-term, on-campus solution. Currently, students must pay $175 to use this lot—$50 more than the amount of a parking pass for on campus. This extra money is going towards the actual rental of the lot, security services pro- vided by Tenable Protective Services, and snow removal during the winter months. Also, the University is offering only 75 spaces, meaning stu- dents still aren’t guaranteed a spot. To get to the lot, students must catch a shuttle bus during designated hours. This implies that if students need their cars during non-operation hours, they must then find an alternate mode of transportation. The University needs to consider making improvements in accommodating all their students on campus. Building a parking garage potentially where Bohannon Science Center is, seems to NOTABLE QUOTABLE be a conventional alternative. Having a parking garage on cam- pus would eliminate the lottery, overpricing for passes, and the wasting of space.
