Farrelly brothers' 'Hall Pass' doesn't deliver at box office
LOS ANGELES — What's the point of getting a hall pass if no one wants to come out and play?
"Hall Pass," the latest comedy from the writer-director team of Peter and Bobby Farrely, about a couple of married guys who are given permission by their wives to play the field for a week, took
That was below industry estimates for the first Farrely brothers film in three years, which stars Owen Wilson, Jason Sudeikis, Jenna Fischer and Christina Applegate. Pre-release projections for the raunchy comedy were between $16 million and $20 million. For Wilson, "Hall Pass" is the second consecutive disappointment following December's adult drama "How

Do You Know" from director James L. Brooks; that film also starred Reese Witherspoon and Paul Rudd.
The Hall Center for the Humanities is looking for undergraduates with strong academic credentials who have demonstrated significant engagement within the university community. Hall Center Scholars interact with the well-known authors, scholars and public intellectuals who speak in our Humanities Lecture Series. The $500 award is sponsored by the Friends of the Hall Center. The deadline for applications is Monday, March 14, 2011.
'Hall Pass' skewed older than Warner Bros. had expected. Almost half of its audience was above 35 years old. Of course, given the subject matter, one might have expected that a comedy about marriage, even one directed by the Farrelly brothers, would not hold a lot of appeal for young adults.

"Hall Pass" was a hit compared with the other major opening of the weekend — "Drive Angry", which was downright dismal.

Ashcroft faces legal charges
WASHINGTON D.C. — A Kansas native faces a tough road Wednesday when he
seeks Supreme Court approval to sue former Attorney General John Ashcroft over war-on-terror tactics.
The man born as Lavoni T. Kidd and now known as Abdul
lah al-Kidd wants recompense from Ashcroft for having been detained in 2003 as a "material witness" in another anti-terror investigation.
A lower court gave al-Kidd the go-ahead. The highest court probably won't.
"I think al-Kidd is going down 8-0," George Washington University law professor Orin Kerr said. "I think the result in this case is not in doubt."
But the eight Supreme Court justices who will hear Ashcroft v. al-Kidd still confront some tough questions. Their answers could shrink or expand federal powers to detain people in sensitive cases.
