CofC professor Christopher Lamb talks Sarah Palin, 2012 election cyclenew
Christopher Lamb is a bit disappointed that Sarah Palin decided not to throw her hat into the 2012 Republican presidential nominee ring. While it could have been monumentally precarious for our country, it at least could have moved copies of the College of Charleston professor’s 2011 book, The Sound and Fury of Sarah Palin, a 179-page work tearing down the “politician” who was the butt of so many of 2008’s best jokes.

Colin Quashie's pointed response to the world around himnew
It may be difficult to spot Colin Quashie's second-story studio if you aren't explicitly looking for it. An indistinct C and Q pasted to a glass door are the only clues that something else goes on in this standalone brick-and-concrete building on Upper King Street besides the haircuts that take place in the first-floor barber shop. It doesn't help that the logo gives a better impression of a cloud than a formal set of initials, the puffy and bulbous letters joined together in a cartoonish fashion. So instead, a better sign of what happens on the second story may be in the downstairs shop, where one of Quashie's works hangs on a wall near the wide windows.

Carnage is Roman Polanski’s real-time brawl between flawed parentsnew
Roman Polanski's film is the real-time encounter between two sets of parents — the bordering-on-mediocrity Penelope (Jodie Foster) and Michael (John C. Reilly) Longstreet and the obviously wealthier Nancy (Kate Winslet) and Alan (Christoph Waltz) Cowan — following a scuffle between their sons.

Depression, destruction, and selfishness play out in Melancholianew
In the first half of Melancholia, Justine (Kirsten Dunst) slowly but surely sabotages her own wedding reception, and you can't really blame her, because there is no one there who doesn't demand something from her or from the occasion.
