Interview | Jessica Alba gives insight into new thriller 'The Eye'

We live in a world of uncertainty. Nations rise and fall; great men shine and are forgotten; love is lost and won. But in the midst of chaos, there has always been one constant: Jessica Alba's undeniable hotness. All other beauty falls by the wayside of the throne upon which she sits, perched in regal majesty. Truly, she is a dame to kill for. In her newest endeavor (aside from becoming a mother), "The Eye," Alba braves the scariness that is modern science in an attempt to live a normal-sighted life. The premise of "The Eye" is that Sydney Wells (played by Alba), a blind violinist, receives a corneal transplant that allows her to see again. Everything goes according to plan - that is, until Sydney soon finds out that she ... sees dead people!

TUTV's return will be well worth the wait

Students may have seen posters across campus announcing that Tufts University Television (TUTV), after being off-air for the entirety of last fall, would return in December 2007. Sadly, some things are too good to be true, and Channel 23 remained without programming.

David Heck | The Sauce

It's funny how sports and fate work. One day, your team is like a god walking amongst mere mortals - a dynasty with no end in sight. The rest of the country looks at your team and feels nothing but envy and hate. They can't lose, no matter who they play. They're more experienced in the playoffs, they've never lost a championship, and they've got the steadiest, most dynamic player in the game with enough ice in his veins to finish off any opposition.

TV Review | 'Captain' aims for success but can't stay on course

On Monday night, CBS aired the pilot episode for its much-anticipated show, "Welcome to the Captain." The bitingly sarcastic comedy is centered on the goings-on of a fictional apartment complex called "El Capitan" - known to its inhabitants as "the Captain." Actor Fran Kranz assumes the role of quirky protagonist, Josh Flum. Flum, who once received an Academy Award for his involvement in a short film, has hit a veritable writer's wall; in other words, since receiving an Oscar, he hasn't been able to come up with anything worthy of the big screen.

Inside Women's College Basketball | After Rutgers' toppling of No. 1 UConn, it's anyone's race now

They'd just lost on the road to West Virginia. They'd just slipped out of the top five of the AP and ESPN/USA Today Polls, to No. 7, for the first time in a month. And Tuesday night, the Scarlet Knights of Rutgers played host to the equivalent of women's basketball royalty. A loss at home, albeit against the Connecticut Huskies, would likely place Rutgers off the short list of national title contenders, at least for the time being.
