“I was in school and Isaw the teachers confer-encing in the hallway,” hesaid. But the studentsweren’t told, so he foundout after school from hisdad. “I was just worried, Ididn’t know what was go-ing to happen next.”

“Throughout theyears, it brings people to-gether ... we have thatmutual past.”

“It was the first dayon NPR they didn’t sayRepublican or Democrat.It was one America, whichwas nice.”

“There was an an-nouncement that said ‘thetowers have been at-tacked.’”

“The teachers didn’twant to show any of thefootage.”

“I just remember be-ing really confused. Theteachers didn’t want totalk about it and I couldn’tunderstand why.”

“I remember feelingvery confused and out ofthe loop.” She said be-fore, her family never re-ally watched TV, but af-ter, “the news was alwayson.”

“I don’t think weknow how horrific itwas.”

Video from Friday’s memorialUK’s ROTC remembers

those lost on 9/11 online

UK vs. Central MichiganStory from Cats’ 27-13 win 4Photo slideshow, column online

Much has changed in 10 years, but some memories don’t fadeTimeline ofSept. 11, 2001

Most Americans will never forget what they weredoing on Sept. 11, 2001. The nation was glued to theTV, watching America under attack.

As former President George W. Bush said in hisaddress to the nation that evening, “none of us willever forget this day.”

And 10 years later, Americans have not forgotten.The images of United Airlines Flight 175 crash-

ing into the south tower of the World Trade Center,the south tower collapsing and then the north; theaftermath at the Pentagon and of the burning planein the Pennsylvania field; people jumping from thetowers, trying to escape the smoke — all these im-ages will remain in the minds of Americans forever.

“I could see the replays of the horrifying after-math of the first (plane), and then when the secondone hit,” said Carl Nathe, an information officerwith UK Public Relations. Nathe, like so many oth-er Americans, was concerned for a friend whoworked in the World Trade Center.

His childhood friend, Richard B. Hall, workedfor AON Corporation on the 104th floor of thesouth tower.

“I was hoping and praying that for whateverreason, he wouldn’t be at work that day,” Nathesaid. “I knew he worked in the second one that gothit. But it was very unsettling, obviously as it wasto everybody.”

Nathe was on campus videotaping a segmentfor a UK television program when someone got themessage about the first tower.

He said he stopped what he was doing and ranback to the office.

Initially there wasn’t information about Hall,but within two or three days, Nathe said, he andHall’s family were informed that he died. “Theydidn’t find his body actually until January, about fourmonths after it happened,” Nathe said.

“You never forget it, but you kind of put it fur-ther back in your consciousness.”

They were thereMost students on campus were in elementary or

middle school when it happened.But Sgt. 1st Class Clayton Gorton, a UK senior,

was stationed at Fort Myer, Va., and was in his bar-racks getting ready to go to the Pentagon when hewas told the news.

Gorton spoke at the UK Pershing Rifles Cadetsmemorial event on campus Friday. He entered theU.S. Army in 1999 and has been in the Army Reservessince 2003. He started at UK in 2004. He was a partof the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, or the Old Guard,which is the official ceremonial unit of the army.

The morning of Sept. 11, he was preparing foran 11 a.m. ceremony to salute a high-ranking digni-tary who was arriving for a meeting.

“At first, we thought it was a pilot error,” Gor-ton said. While watching TV, he heard AmericanAirlines Flight 77 hit the Pentagon and described itas a muffled explosion.

His unit started preparing to go help at the Pen-tagon, and when Gorton arrived at the scene around2 p.m., he said it was hot and smoldering.

His unit helped with rescue, recovery andcleanup efforts. It helped engineers reinforce thebuilding and set up tents for the morgue.

They found personal items in the ashes: stuffedanimals and pictures of victims’ families.

“At that time, it’s one of those things you didn’tthink about,” he said. “We struggled together throughthe mourning and difficulties to get through that day.”

ST. LOUIS — Back in the 1990s, swingwas the thing, taking jazz back to the dancefloor and making bands like Big Bad VoodooDaddy house-rocking ambassadors of hip nos-talgia. As energetic as the swing revival was, itwas inevitable that it would lose its cool, aswould most of the bands involved in it.

But Big Bad Voodoo Daddy has proved tobe a grand exception. Still on the road andswinging hard, the band has a fan base thattranscends fads.

“We had a vision of what we wanted todo, before there was a swing revival and themusic got popular,” trumpeter Glen Marhevkasaid.

While the band attracts some of the usualjazz fans, it also appeals to listeners beyondthat crowd.

“It’s a really wide spectrum of fans age-wise, from little kids to grandparents — whichis fairly unusual for most bands,” Marhevkasaid. “One of the big reasons is, we’ve beenout on the road for over 15 years, playing 150to 250 concerts a year that whole time, andwe’ve never let up.

“Depending on where we go and what the

venue is, we draw in a big core audience.”Big Bad Voodoo Daddy began in 1989 but

got its big break when three of its songs —“You&Me&the Bottle Makes 3 Tonight(Baby),” “I Wanna Be Like You” and “GoDaddy-O” — turned up on the soundtrack al-bum for the 1996 comedy “Swingers.”

Aside from its music, the band is knownfor its stylish, swing-era attire.

“We wear classic suits right out of the1940s, with vintage ties, two-tone shoes andfedoras,” Marhevka said. “We always try todress supersharp.”

One of the most prominent influences onBig Bad Voodoo Daddy is Cab Calloway, thelegendary jazz singer who led one of the mostsuccessful African-American big bands of the1930s and ‘40s. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy paystribute to the bandleader with its latest album,“How Big Can You Get?: The Music of CabCalloway.”

“Calloway brought such a great energy tothe stage,” he said. “And one of the greatthings about this band is that everybody hastons of energy, and they bring it to the stageevery single night.”

During his speech on Fri-day, Gorton told stories of he-roes from the attacks.

Their sacrifices, he said,like so many others’, “unitedthe nation.”

Since being at UK, he hasbeen deployed twice: in 2005to Iraq and in 2009 toAfghanistan.

“I carried my connectionto 9/11 with me physicallyand emotionally,” he said.Everybody is connected to theevents, he said, and those con-nections are important.

While the nation crowdedaround the television, JenniferRoth was in New York Citytrying to escape the chaos.

Roth, a 1995 UK graduate,was originally interviewed inthe Sept. 12, 2001, edition ofthe Kernel. Her father, RickRoth, was a UK integratedstrategic communication pro-fessor at the time.

“Ten years later, its hard.I’ve been obviously thinkingabout this a lot because youcan’t escape it right now,” shesaid.

Roth was in a subway carpulling into the station underthe World Trade Center whenshe heard noises.

“When the train let us out,you could smell the smoke,”she said. She and other passen-gers couldn’t figure out whatwas going on, so they went

outside to see what happened.“What I remember of that

day is how confused everybodywas,” she said. “There was allthis smoke in the air. We werecompletely mystified.” AllRoth wanted to do was dis-tanceherself from the towers.She said she was about four orfive blocks away when thesecond plane hit.

“I thought I was going todie,” she said. “When the sec-ond plane hit, I thought thefirst tower exploded and wasgoing to collapse. I was reallyclose to the building, and Ithought that was it.”

As she dodged behind acolumn of a building, she re-members seeing an elderlywoman who was walking falldown. “What struck me wasthat two guys stopped to helpher back up,” Roth said.

Her next order of busi-ness was get to her office, 10blocks from the towers, andmake sure everyone was safe.

She said her co-workerswere in “utter shock and dis-belief.”

“I couldn’t even under-stand what was happening,”she said when the first towercame down. “Next thing youknow, there was a literal ver-tical wall of smoke and dustcoming down the street.”

She eventually was able tocall her family and let themknow she was safe.

As she walked throughGreenwich Village, peoplewere helping others, asking if

they needed water and sharingcellphones. Roth finally tooka ferry back to her home inNew Jersey. She now lives onLong Island.

“I don’t know what lifewould be like if that neverhappened,” Roth said. “Livingin New York after that hap-pened, watching how securitychecks became routine, I gotused to seeing national guardson the street. Those were verystrange times.”

She said people went backto work the following week.

“It was kind of hard to goback. Every day you metsomeone on the street … itbecame a very cautiousdance, asking if they wereOK,” she said.

Roth said she has told thisstory many times.

“Everybody felt so con-nected,” she said. “Every-body watched it happen onTV and everybody I knowwanted to hear it firsthand.”

What has changedNearly 10 years after 9/11,

on May 1, U.S. forces killedOsama bin Ladin. “Justice hasbeen done,” President BarackObama said that Sundayevening.

America has changedsince 2001. Immediately afterthe attacks, security gottighter. As fear spreadthroughout the nation, peoplebecame more aware.

“I think that what we havelearned is vulnerability,” Roth

said. “It would be really niceif we could learn from how wepulled together that day andhow everybody workedtogether that day.”

While listening to a pub-lic radio show last week, StanBrunn, a geography profes-sor, was touched by the he-roes of 9/11 who tried to helpothers.

While listening, he saidhe started to cry.

“I hope we’ve learnedsomething,” he said. “I thinkwe have.”

Brunn decided after 9/11that, as a member of thescholarly community, heshould do something. So heasked his friends and col-leagues to contribute to abook, “11 September and ItsAftermath: The Geopoliticsof Terror,” which examinesthe impact of the events onforeign policy and interna-tional relations.

He said after 9/11, Ameri-ca came to many realizations.

“I think students todayare much more globallyaware and globally consciousthan their parents,” he said.

Though he believes col-lege students today didn’tquite understand the wholeimpact of it when it hap-pened, “all kids would knowtheir lives are different be-cause of it.”

Following the attacks onSept. 11, America’s eyes wereopened to Islam.

And Brunn believesAmerica has learned muchmore about the faith.

Fatimah Shalash, a recentUK graduate, said there arestill a lot of misconceptionsabout Islam, but it has “of-fered an opportunity to talkabout things.”

“There was a lot of suspi-cion towards Muslims,” Sha-lash said. But though there wassuspicion, she said she was al-ways treated with kindness.

“For as much backlashthere was against Islam in themedia, for me it has openedup conversation about ourfaith,” she said.

Brunn believes it was abrief time of coming together,and America is “not certainlytogether now.”

“We still have a lot oflearning to do, a lot of healingto do,” he said.

Roth said with the 10thanniversary, “I don’t know

where the place is to draw theline between dwelling on itand remembering it. I’m a lit-tle afraid we are dwelling on itmore than building from it.”

Brunn said he hopes stu-dents attend memorial eventsor do something to rememberthe people who died.

“International terror reallyhit home,” Brunn said.

And 10 years later,Americans have not forgotten.

“We must keep alive theconnection we have to thatday,” Gorton said.

9/11Continued from page 1

4puz.com

I remember theday everythingchanged. It would-n't be a stretch tosay our realitycrumbled with thetowers. EverythingI had ever believedabout life in theUnited States gotripped out fromunder me.

Time is a funnything. Somehowlast summer seemslike a lifetime ago,

while the attacks on 9/11 still feellike yesterday. I remember the still-ness in the air after school; none ofthe neighborhood kids dared to playoutside that day. I remember notknowing what to say to my momwhen she picked me up. Only yearslater did I understand the magnitudeof what happened.

I remember the panic I saw in myaunt, who was visiting from Spain atthe time, trying to contact my unclewho had remained overseas. Peopleforget that at that time no one knewwhat was happening or what to ex-pect.

It seemed like talk of invadingAfghanistan followed immediatelyafterward, at least that’s how my 11-year-old self perceived it. I remembermy teacher telling me not to worry

about my brother being deployed,that the situation would neverprogress to National Guardsmen go-ing to the Middle East. He waswrong.

Perhaps my most vivid memorycomes from the day after. I remem-ber sitting in a hospital room in thematernity wing,watching 9/11coverage whilemeeting my newniece for the firsttime. She wasborn on the after-noon of Sept. 12,2001, barely 24hours after the at-tacks. A time thatshould have beenso happy was fullof conflictingemotions. But wewere not the onlyfamily experienc-ing this; not even in our small town.The nursery was full of newbornsthat day.

More than anything, the fact thatthis is the only world my niece hasever known makes me incredibly an-gry. Her world is so different fromthe one I grew up in. On the day ofthe attacks I did not know what theword terrorism meant. She hasgrown up inundated with 24-hournews coverage of a war we have

been in for her entire life.I remember sitting in a gym, with

my now 4- year-old niece clenchingmy neck, watching the first of multi-ple deployment ceremonies for mybrother who was never supposed toleave. I remember, and will never beable to forget, the children crying for

their parents whenthey said one fi-nal goodbye.

The attackson Sept. 11 hadreverberations onfamilies through-out the countryand the world. Itleft gaping holesin communitiesboth small andlarge. The effectsare still beingfelt as a warrages on with no

sign of slowingdown and as first responders contin-ue to suffer from ailments due to in-haling the air at ground zero. Thetotal number of fatalities continuesto rise.

So here we are 10 years later.What has changed? Perhaps moreimportantly, what will never be thesame? I know one thing is for sure. Iwill always remember.

When the twin towers col-lapsed below the New York Cityskyline, they brought down astabilizing element of interna-tional relations with them —confidence.

As the dust cleared, an un-precedented fear rose from therubble, and it has tarnished ourrelations with the rest of theworld. The fear became aweapon directed at one target:Islam. In response, Islam foughtthrough dramatic identity crises,particularly this year.

Kaffiyeh scarves (the black-and-white Arab scarves that nowmake a conventional fashionstatement) represented terrorismin political cartoons. Baselessfears of Sharia law crept into po-litical discourse. Mosques werevandalized and razed. Airport se-curity augmented racial profiling.Muslims in America became thetarget of harsh rhetoric and un-American violence. The nationdivided and so did its opennessto diversity and foreigners.

The fear seeped further intothe conscience of voters, conse-quently polarizing political par-ties. Last year the “Ground ZeroMosque” became a fightingground of political identity —us versus them.

A decade after the attacks,the fear continues to undermineinternal and international rela-tions.

Just last month, The Associ-ated Press reported that the CIAwas assisting the New York Po-lice Department in domesticspying in what has been deemedan outright civil-rights violation.The NYPD used the trainingand technology to monitor eth-nic communities in New York,particularly Islamic communi-ties.

If there is a year to recog-nize the positive force of Mus-lims in the world, it is 2011.Muslim-led revolutions over-threw unspeakable corruption in

Egypt, Libya and Tunisia. TheArab Spring doesn’t end there;uprisings extend to Bahran, Syr-ia and Yemen as well as protestsin Jordan, Iraq and Algeria.

Robin Wright, a Middle Eastcorrespondent, recently pub-lished the book “Rock the Cas-bah,” regarding the uprisingsand the rising role of Islam.

“The far wider Muslimworld is increasingly rejectingextremism,” Wright told TheNew York Times. “Islam ismore about identity than piety,about Muslim values rather thanIslamic ideology.”

Wright attributed these find-ings to the 2010 Pew Global At-titudes survey, which found in asampling of countries that Mus-lims identify more with “mod-ernizers” than “fundamental-ists.”

Wright recognized that theyouth are the vanguard of thesesocial uprisings and changing theface of Islam, working throughsocial networking, art, film andeven hip-hop. The youth makeup the majority in all Muslimcountries, Wright said.

If the youth of these Mus-lim countries can instigate dras-tic change on a social level,then we too can instigate an en-vironment of tolerance on ourcampus. We do not have to fearcensorship or grave conse-quence. Instead, we have onlyfriendships and tolerant conver-sation to be shared.

Now that the dust of 9/11has long settled, a new con-sciousness should rise from thegap in the skyline — accept-ance. The terrorist attacks didn’tjust inflict grief upon Ameri-cans. Victims from 91 differentcountries perished. There arememorials around the world, in-cluding in Afghanistan. Groundzero is a common, sacredground for people of all nation-alities and religions.

The common ground shouldbe the new guiding concept ofU.S. international relations. Weshare tragedies, cultures andeven fears.

The UK football team’shome opener against CentralMichigan started much thesame way UK’s match-upwith Western Kentucky starteda week ago.

The Cats started off slow,falling behind early after Cen-tral Michigan knocked home afield goal on its first posses-sion. Once again, UK’s bend-don’t-break defense limitedthe Chippewas on the score-board until the offense wasable to find its way back into

the game. But following thedefense’s biggest stop of theafternoon, the offense re-sponded in an even biggerway, blowing past CentralMichigan en route to a 27-13victory and a 2-0 record tostart the season.

With Central Michiganleading 13-6 late in the thirdquarter, facing a fourth-and-one from its own 34-yard line,the Chippewas decided to gofor the first down rather thanpunting the ball deep into UKterritory to a Cats offense thathad made little impact on thegame to that point. Central

Michigan was stopped dead inits tracks by the Cats’ defen-sive front, giving the offensethe ball inside Chippewa terri-tory with an opportunity topull UK back in the game.

On the very next play, UKjunior quarterback MorganNewton heaved a pass to awide open La’Rod King in theend zone for the Cats’ firsttouchdown of the game. Thatscore would be the first ofthree unanswered touchdownsby UK in the final 20 minutesof the game.

UK brought out all thestops for its home opener in

a newly renovated Common-wealth Stadium. The brandnew screens, digital ribbonand sound system were in fulleffect, along with the team’sbrand new introductionvideo, featuring former UKwide receiver Stevie Johnson.But when it came to the gameon the field, UK did not lookprepared to impress its homefans and defend its new state-of-the-art stadium.

The Cats managed just sixpoints in the first half againstthe Chippewas, and onceagain had trouble in the pass-ing game holding onto thefootball. Senior wide receiverMatt Roark, the culprit behinda couple drops against WesternKentucky, dropped a ballwhile wide open in the endzone on UK’s first drive of thegame. Instead of seizing thelead early, the Cats settled fora field goal, tying the game at3-3. Roark did not line up atreceiver again the rest of theafternoon.

“We’ve got to get him outof that funk,” UK wide re-ceivers coach Tee Martin said.“It’s kind of like a basketballplayer at the free throw line,he starts dreading when theball comes to him or startdreading taking that shot.We’ve got to get him out ofthat because he can catch, he’sjust in that thing where we’vebeen on him and he’s heard it,and we just don’t want a kidlike that to lose confidence.”

But UK’s fourth-downstop, coupled with King’s

touchdown reception, openedthe flood gates for the UK of-fense the rest of the afternoon.Less than four minutes afterKing’s catch, on UK’s verynext offensive drive, freshmanrunning back Josh Clemonstook a hand-off 87 yards for ascore to extend UK’s lead. Therun was the longest by a fresh-man in the program’s history,and the longest run by any UKplayer since 1970.

Clemons finished with 14carries for 128 yards and thetouchdown, his second in asmany career games. Clemonsbecame the first UK freshmanto rush for over 100 yards in agame since Arliss Beach did itin 2002.

La’Rod King also reachedthe 100 receiving yard plateaufor the first time in his career,with five catches for 100 yardsand a touchdown.

The Cats’ final touchdownof the afternoon came on anaked bootleg by Newton thathe kept himself and ran intothe end zone to ice the game.

“We’ve been makingsome big plays down thefield,” UK head coach JokerPhillips said. “That’s what weexpect. The guys have beengetting behind people. We justhadn’t been making them. Wedidn’t make them the firstgame. We want to throw theball down the field.”

The defense was led, onceagain, by senior linebackerDanny Trevathan, who fin-ished the game with 13 tack-les, three and a half of which

resulted in a loss, and an inter-ception. It was Trevathan’s11th consecutive game withdouble-digit tackles.

After allowing theChippewas to score on eachof their first three possessions(a touchdown and two fieldgoals), Trevathan and the de-fense played inspired foot-ball, shutting out CentralMichigan for the remainderof the game.

Senior safety WinstonGuy did his part to help thedefense, recording 13 tacklesof his own. Fellow safety Mar-tavius Neloms, a convertedcornerback, added 10 moretackles.

“There was a lot of stuffthey threw at us that we neverseen before,” Trevathan said,“but I think we handled it pret-ty well.”

Cats win ugly again, defeat CMU 27-13By Ethan Levine

PHOTO BY BRANDON GOODWIN | STAFFJosh Clemons’ 87-yard touchdown run was a UK freshman record in the win over Central Michigan.

The Cats closed out their nonconferenceplay Saturday with a 3-0 (25-18, 25-22, 26-24)sweep of West Virginia, earning their seventhconsecutive home court victory.

UK also claimed wins over Houston in a 3-1(28-26, 15-25, 25-20, 25-17) victory and LoyolaMarymount in a 3-0 (25-20, 25-22, 25-20) winover the weekend. This win over the Mountaineersimproved the Cats’ record to 9-2.

The first two sets against the Mountaineerscame easy, but the Cats struggled during thethird set to close out the match.

“The nice part is we’re finding ways towin. That’s what good teams have to be ableto do,” head coach Craig Skinner said. “If oneside of the ball isn’t very good offensively ordefensively, then you need to take care of theother side. And defensively we’ve been prettydarn consistent the last few matches.”

Although the Cats seemed rushed in thethird set, they didn’t let the pressure get tothem.

“I think we just got a little frazzled,” tourna-ment MVP Ashley Frazier said. “They startedto do a few things well and we kind of got allover the place, so we just had to settle down andplay our game and do our jobs.”

All teammates seem to be participatingand contributing in major ways throughoutnonconference play, offensively as well as de-fensively.

Junior Stephanie Klefot reached a career1,000 digs, making her the 10th player in schoolhistory to achieve this feat. Senior GretchenGiesler also earned a team-high nine blocks inUK’s victory over Loyola Marymount.

The Cats, with hardly any difficulty,claimed the first two sets against WVU, earn-ing six team blocks in the second set alone.

WVU’s attack on UK came as a surpise inthe third set. The Cats were down 20-15 in the

third set but clawed their way back to con-clude the match.

“We push each other pretty hard and wetried to focus more before the game and real-ized what we have to do individually and as ateam,” Klefot said.

Klefot closed out the weekend with 15digs in the win against the Mountaineers.

After a long two weeks and a mid-weekmatch-up, UK still managed to come out ofthe weekend untouched.

“Playing seven matches in a span of aboutseven days is not easy. I’m glad we came outand played the way we did and only droppedone set in seven matches,” Skinner said.“That’s a really good performance by us.”

Frazier had a noteworthy weekend, tally-ing 11 kills, 28 total attacks and five digs, andultimately earning MVP of the tournament.

“(Frazier) gets better every match out. Shehadn’t played in two years, up until this pre-season. We know she can attack, but she’sstarting to do little things like defense, andserve consistently under pressure and block-ing,” Skinner said. “She’s a very good left-front blocker. She was a very solid force thisweekend and a very explosive player.”

Other big contributors for Saturday’smatch included freshman Lauren O’Conner,who racked up 13 kills for UK, sophomoreWhitney Billings, who tallied seven kills, 20total attacks and 11 digs and Giesler, whoearned six kills and 14 total attacks.

“I think we just really came together as ateam and we wanted to defend our home courtand our home tournament and win,” Fraziersaid. “I guess we just wanted to play well andlead ourselves in to our first SEC weekendand kind of build momentum.”

The Cats hope to maintain this momen-tucm into SEC play and continue to chartmore wins on their season.

UK returns to Memorial Coliseum Friday,Sept. 16 at 7 p.m. against Auburn.

Volleyball wins tournament By Sam Rothbauer

--Architect Alex Hurst(Guy Pearce) and his newsqueeze Kim (Katie Holmes)have their eyes set on gettingtheir partially restoredGothic mansion on the coverof a prestigious architecturemagazine. In hopes of kick-starting Hurst’s currentlysluggish career, the two puteverything they’ve got intobringing the mansion back toits former glory.

Then a bump in the roadarrives in the form of anemotionally compromiseddaughter sent away by anex-wife. Sally Hurst (BaileeMadison) feels as if shedoesn’t belong and becomesquite a pain for the over-whelmed and overworkedAlex and Kim. Desperate forcompanionship, Sally islured to a previously undis-covered basement by eerie

whispers that promisefriendship and acceptance.

Overcome by curiosity,Sally opens a gateway intoan underworld infested withcunning, beady-eyed andsharp-clawed creatures withone single burning motiva-tion— hunger. Blindsided bythe horror that she hasunleashed, Sally desperatelyattempts to warn Alex andKim of the impending doom.But there is one small prob-lem— no one believes her.

When the trailer endedfor this film, seasoned horrorflicksters were delighted tolearn that “Don’t Be Afraidof the Dark,” a remake, wasdirected by none other thanMexican film prodigyGuillermo del Toro (“Pan’sLabyrinth”, “The Devil’sBackbone”). Del Toro ismost known for his use ofmythology and creatures toextract chills from viewers,as opposed to the cliché andoften overused pop-out andscare tactic. While this filmcertainly displays del Toros’forte with exceptionallybone-chilling scenery and a

unique approach to the mon-sters-in-the-closet routine, itcompletely falls on its facewhen it comes to dialogue.This almost always trans-lates into subpar acting anddelivery of emotion. It’s hardto blame the talents ofPearce (“Memento”, “L.A.Confidential”) and Holmes(“Batman Begins”, “PhoneBooth”) for the lack of sub-stance, because they weren’treally given much to workwith.

The plot itself was a bitof a coin toss. As soon asaudiences began rollingtheir eyes during the lastfive minutes at whatappears to be an indolentending, del Toro pulls a rab-bit out of the hat with a fas-cinating twist that makes allthe puzzle pieces fit togeth-er, thus saving the film. Itwould have been nice toexperience this feeling ofexcitement and intrigue abit more during the filmrather than in its final min-utes, but overall it was anenjoyable movie.
