'S.O.P.: Standard Operating Procedure,' about the Abu Ghraib scandal, was screened at Brandeis two weeks ago.

The latest Judd Apatow movie follows the story of a man who goes on vacation and runs into the woman who just dumped him.
Call me a snob. Maybe I am. I've spent the last couple of semesters dissecting films and screenplays-the pitfalls of majoring in something you love-and maybe it finally got to me.
Then again, I'm not so big of a snob that a film with a Judd Apatow stamp attached to it doesn't excite me.
