Fear is not a factor
Fearless 4 Stars Directed by: Ronny Yu Starring: Jet Li, Shido Nakamura Rated: PG-13 If Fearless truly is Jet Li's last martial arts film, as is advertised, then Li has succeeded in going out on top. It's hard to imagine that this movie could fall short of excellence, given the pedigree of its principles.

DATING BY DISTRICT: A GUY'S GUIDE
Gone are the days of carriage rides and courtship rituals. Today's acts of chivalry include a pump of a keg or the toss of a quarter at Sink or Swim.
Sandi Thom
Smile... It Confuses People is the kind of record that really makes you wonder. Whatever happened to the idyllic, innocent rebellion of our parents' generation?
From the Editor
One night last spring, my ex-roommate called Greek Lady at 2 a.m. to order delivery. Probably a buffalo chicken cheese steak (because it's ridiculous). For the first time all school year, they knew him without even asking.
A two-hour vigil with student radio

Lunch Room Trades
As a pudgy youth with a penchant for chocolate pudding, I was the queen of lunch room food trades. I could negotiate the trade of a roast beef sandwich for a Snack Pack with a finesse that usually requires a degree from Wharton.
Sorority Life
At a time when pop culture phenomena like Paris Hilton and Hulk Hogan's daughter are relentlessly promoting their debut albums, the idea of the remake doesn't sound all that bad. Take Johnny Cash's cover of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt," for instance.
Emily Haines
Some good CDs make you smile, some make you dance, and some make you cry. Emily Haines's Knives Don't Have Your Back belongs in the last category: bittersweet, but infectious all the same.
Reinventing Lennon
The U.S. vs. John Lennon traces pop star John Lennon's metamorphosis from mop-topped singer to one of the most eminent cultural icons of the 1970s. During that decade, his antiwar actions garnered media attention and the wrath of the Nixon administration, which persecuted Lennon by following, wiretapping and attempting to deport him. Aside from the political story, Lennon shows the passionate, complex relationship Lennon shared with his wife, Yoko Ono.
Steve Carell: the man, the myth, the virgin
Street had an exclusive phone interview with Steve Carell - writer, actor, former 40-year-old virgin - on September 14 to hear his thoughts on his film and TV career.
Opposite Day
Opposite day was not the single most difficult part of Elementary School, but it wasn't not un-fun, either.
Street Beats
Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens tries to kill himself by overdosing on pain medication. Sources speculate Owens mistook the pills for Campbell's Chunky Soup. Dow to reach record high.
Deep Sea Punking
