a a ed op Oe newsmagazine by Traci White | WCnewsmagazine | should have known better. COMMENTARY The Day After Tomorrow, Ill Be Looking for a Refund The boy sitting one row ahead of me certainly seemed to, way back in November when the earliest previews of The Day After Tomorrow could be seen. With no prior knowledge of the film other than its ominously narrated promo, he huffed incredulously and loudly muttered, Pssh, what's The Day After Tomorrow? Thursday! In retrospect, this should have put off those within hearing distance, but all present merely chuckled and dismissed the assessment. Thanks to an all-encompassing advertising campaign, it is obvious that The Day After Tomorrow has arrived, and | find myself ruing the day | chose to look beyond the easily deflated title and give this debacle a chance. The film. is the limp-wristed and overblown love child of Irwin Allen's disaster flicks of the seventies and the modern school of CGI special effects. The misguided cast filling out the underdeveloped characters of this Weather Channel-approved movie is filled with solidly mediocre actors. Jack Hall, played by Dennis Quaid, is the protagonist of the film, a paleoclimatologist looking to precaution a big, bad, obviously Bush and Cheney-esque Republican administration with a supped-up Powerpoint presentation demonstrating how global warming is upsetting the ecosystem. His son Sam, played by the It guy du jour Jake Gyllenhaal (Donnie Darko), is a genius who is at a National Quiz Bowl in Manhattan when the catastrophic weather hits. With his brilliant and acne-less team mates, Jessica Alba look-alike Laura Chapman (Emmy Rossum) and Steve Urkel-wannabe Brian Parks (Arjay Smith), Sam is encouraged to reveal his crush on his beautiful dweebette counterpart she, in fact, being the reason Sam signed up to be on the team in the first plac. Sela Ward rounds out the nuclear Hall family unit as the Uber altruistic Dr. Lucy Hall, naturally a nurse in the childrens cancer ward at their local Johns Hopkins. Numerous other scientists (Dash Mihok, Jay O. Sanders, Austin Nichols) who vary from salty to sensibly British flank Jack in his heroic attempts to open the stubbornly closed eyes of the petroleum-guzzling Executive Branch and warn billions of the population that doom is headed their way in the form of rain, sleet, snow, and hail. (On a similar note, Id like to take this opportunity to thank the producers for sparing us any references to the United States Postal Service). Producer Roland Emmerich openly accepts his target audience: 14 to 35 year olds seeking life-threatening escapes ventured by an inoffensively attractive cast with tentative emotional ties to each other, thrilling as the Polar Ice caps begin cracking open like so much Styrofoam. The movie should have followed the example of former box office record setters such as Independence Day, a film that succeeded in coming out equal parts character-development and bombastic effects. Dont get me wrong: the promos promise gratuitous destruction of every major global destination, and The Day After Tomorrow generously delivers on this front. From a vicious rash of tornadoes plowing through Los Angeles to football sized hail in Tokyo to a rainstorm of Biblical proportions in NYC (not to mention a near amputation and a pack of ravenous wolves roaming the streets), theres millions of dollars in damages galore. While the film was conceived without delusions of Shakespeare caliber delivery, the acting became half-hearted and predictable so quickly that | was awaiting Tom Servo and Crow to pop up their silhouetted robotic heads and commence their riposte. The meager plot ends up feeling like a fat free Twinkie so low on indulgent substance that its not even worth the effort to produce it. In brief, if you're in pursuit of a film thats heavy on action and skimps on the matter of relationships between its largely pointless characters, The Day After Tomorrow is right up your alley. But dont say | didnt warn you. Move Over Soho Its Time for Mommas Love by Jennifer Wilkey | WCnewsmagazine Students returning to campus in the fall will find that the SoHo Grill has been replaced by a new restaurant, called Momma Goldbergs Deli. Momma Goldbergs, which opened on April 23", is across NC 107 from WCU, just a short walk over the overpass bridge. This new Cullowhee restaurant is the second of two Momma Goldbergs Delis in the country. The original is located in Lee County, Alabama, across from the Auburn campus. It was established in 1976 by Don DeMent, a clothing store owner who decided to open a restaurant geared towards the Auburn students. It was a huge hit, and quickly became a popular hangout spot. Momma Goldbergs Deli in Auburn is the oldest singly- owned restaurant in Lee County. DeMents son, Jason, followed his fathers lead and co-founded a North Carolina branch of Momma Gs. Jason DeMent, a former professional golfer who boasts beating Tiger Woods when he was 17, and Christine Richard, who ran professional track and is a former American Gladiator, met at Highlands Cove. They decided they wanted to establish a place that would appeal to Western students, so they moved to Cullowhee, bought the old SoHo Grill and used the very successful Auburn restaurant as a model for their venture. DeMent and Richard are hoping Momma Goldbergs can become the kind of place WCU students want to hang out and make their own. Accordingly, Momma Gs has a very student-friendly atmosphere. There is WCU-themed dcor and Greek letter t-shirts decorating the walls. There are booths and tables inside as well as a deck for outdoor dining. Inside, there are nine TVs, which show satellite television, sports and DVD concerts. The owners promise that football games will be shown in the fall. We are very sports-oriented, says Richard. In terms of food, Momma Gs offers cheap deli-style fare. They have a wide array of sandwiches, from a classic Rueben or chicken sandwich to the Big Momma, the Big Daddy, and The Catamount. Of course, they have the famous Mommas Love sandwich topped with Mommas dressing (dont bother asking its a family secret). Or, you can pick your own bread, meats, cheeses and dressings to create an original sandwich. There are several options for side dishes, including all kinds of potato chips. They also make killer nachos, using Doritos, pepper jack cheese, and jalapenos. They even offer two kinds of pickles: the standard deli dill pickle and Wickles Pickles, which are hot sweet pickles. In addition to the typical drinks of soda and water, the sports-minded owners offer multiple flavors of bottled Gatorade. Sometime in the fall, in late August or early September, Momma Gs will begin staying open until 3 am on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Future plans include a drive thru and delivery services, as well as at least one more serving line. They accept debit cards, all types of credit cards and checks, but there is also an ATM on the premises for those who prefer cash. The best news for WCU students: they will ultimately accept CAT cards. Were kind of here for the students, really, says Richard. Thats our specialty. Momma Gs has hosted a couple acoustic and B. Y.O.B. nights, with plans for more low-key gatherings in the future, according to Richard. The restaurant can also be rented for parties, and has already booked fraternity and sorority mixers as well as a private graduation party. The fact that Momma Goldbergs is not a chain gives DeMent and Richard the flexibility to do what they want, the ability to listen to the students and make changes that will keep the customers happy. We have the freedom to do things for the students, Richard says. With its late hours, student-friendly atmosphere, and cheap, good food within walking distance of school, Momma Gs is an excellent off-campus dining alternative. It will be even better when they accept CAT cards, but it is already becoming popular with students. Momma Goldbergs Deli is currently open seven days a week, from 11 am to 10 pm, but they will be open until 3 am on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights in the fall.
