So what if you have that Lit Hum/CC/Orgo/Giant 25 Page Paper that I haven’t began researching due on Friday? There’s only one day of classes this week! Since you can’t go and chill on the steps without losing a finger to frostbite, treat yourself to a movie instead—it’s long, will fill your head with interesting ideas, and maybe will give you that big revelation. So I’ve chosen some movies to go along with classes.

For Literature Humanities: The Reader with Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes opens Wednesday, and fills every man in Lit Hum’s dream: Read classic literature to Kate Winslet, then have hot, passionate, underage sex with her! Just ignore the fact she might be a Nazi…

For Contemporary Civilization: Catch another screening of Quantum of Solace and debate whether Bond’s actions are justified. Is he Machiavellian in his methods? Is he truly on the aim for the greater good? Does he even have free will?

For Gateway: Get rid of all your bad memories of terrible partners and Jack McGourty’s eccentric personality by watching Jason Statham kick ass for 2 hours in Transporter 3 at the Harlem AMC

For Indian Civilization: Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire at the Lincoln Plaza Cinema is a fast energetic tale of a slum kid who lives out a Dickens-like dream. Although the story ends on a happy note, there’s no Bollywood cover coated likeness here—Boyle captures the real India, so you can see what it actually looks like instead of reading about it.

For the Colloquium on Violence and Terrorism: See The Dark Knight either at the MoMA tonight as it plays in their series of the best films of 2008, or catch the DVD tomorrow. Think whether Batman or Harvey Dent have the right idea on how to take down the Joker. Cry when you realize your entire class could have been summarized by a comic book movie.

For the American Presidency: Frost/Nixon, playing at the Lincoln Center AMC, it a fun and well made flick about the famous debates between British TV host David Frost and former president Richard Nixon, and learn how one man took down a giant. Michael Sheen and Frank Langella revive their Broadway roles, and are dynamic on the screen.

For Principles of Economics: Go see any movie—it will stimulate the economy!
