Film may or may not leave you choked up
By DAVID STUZIN | Oct. 1, 2008A fantastical view of the world's sleazier characters, "Choke" is a surreal softcore porn movie where the story is better - and more appealing - than the sex but just as graphic. Self-proclaimed sex addict and medical school dropout Victor Mancini (Sam Rockwell), cons people into loving him by pretending to choke at restaurants and having others save him. He then uses these people for money to keep his dying mother, Ida Mancini (Anjelica Huston), in "nice" hospital facilities. Content in this wayward lifestyle, he meets his mother's new doctor, Paige Marshall (Kelly Macdonald), who, with an almost angelic demeanor, manages to turn Mancini's life upside down by telling him he might be Jesus's half clone forged from the ancient holy foreskin. It's pretty mind-boggling.

Strong defense gives Gators hope
Sep. 30, 2008I bet Jevan Snead's 86-yard touchdown pass to Shay Hodge made you queasy. I can't blame you. That was Major Wright's one-way ticket to a SportsCenter highlight - and not the good kind.

Volunteers help unregistered voters
By Lindsay Webber | Sep. 30, 2008Yes, I am one of those people pestering you as you walk to class. And yes, I see the look on your face as I approach you - it translates roughly to, "Not again! Why won't you leave me alone?" - excluding profanities, of course.
