For some students this summer, something awesome happened in Great Britain.

Picked up by Focus Features at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, Hamlet 2 is one of the funniest inappropriate indie comedies of the year.

I’ll admit it. I like Facebook. There are probably more productive ways of spending my evenings than browsing around one of the world’s largest Internet networking sites.

This summer, The Grove Theater resurfaced as Showtime Utah. Attempts at success in the venue, which is in historic downtown Pleasant Grove, have been abysmal for as long as most UVU students have been alive. Because of this, many locals shrugged off the Grove Theater’s latest owner, Joan Peterson, as a force that would eventually phase out just like her predecessors.

There is so much nighttime light here at Camp Victory that stars are hard to see. A few somehow shined through the other night, though, dim pinpoints of flickering light. They seemed to wave at me like friends I hadn’t seen for years, bringing with them memories of deep star-filled skies from my first deployment.

Many of us have funny memories of making amateur yet entertaining home movies and toying around with video cameras in our younger days. For local filmmaker Ryan Tapp, this love of creating film has always been a part of life.

Actor/writer Seth Rogen must be on cloud nine right now. After starring in such hits as The 40-Year Old Virgin and Knocked Up and writing the uber-successful super naughty comedy Superbad, it’s going to be hard to keep his momentum moving forward.

The summer of R-rated comedies is coming to a close with what could be the funniest of them all: Tropic Thunder. By blowing the top off political correctness through constant comedic jabs at race, sexual preference and physical handicaps, it’s also likely to be one of the most shunned.

Everyone splits the population of the world into groups of their own choice. These groups vary based on the choosing individual’s experience and point of view; men and women, Republicans and Democrats, the employed and the unemployed, etc.

The Utah Symphony has performed several times outdoors this summer. So far, all of the the performances have been at Deer Valley Resort in Park City — a good 45 minutes away from campus.
