"Safe House," starring Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds, is a thriller that will hold your attention as well as challenge your intellect.

Reynolds plays young CIA operative Matt Westin, bored to death on his first assignment – guarding a safe house in Cape Town, South Africa. He has been there for a year and has had little contact with anyone aside from his girlfriend, played by Nora Arnezeder, and his handler, played by Brendan Gleeson.

Being "pro-life" at Franciscan University of Steubenville generally means one thing: fighting abortion. Granted, this is a crucial aspect of the pro-life movement, but many times other important life issues are forgotten in the process.

One life issue rarely discussed at Franciscan, or even within most Catholic circles, is that of brain death and organ donation. This is a sticky topic, since most young people are registered organ donors on their driver's licenses and may even know someone whose life was changed through organ donation.

By this point of the primary season, most people have a candidate that they strongly identify with or at least prefer to the others. It usually seems that you are talking about how expensive some item is and your friend goes off on how we need to return to a gold standard. This is fine and dandy but there is a very common problem with political expression here at Franciscan. If you pardon the crude analogy, we have the political equivalent of cafeteria Catholics who see their only religious obligation as to go to Church on Sundays. Essentially, we have many people who talk the talk but do not walk the walk. If I may take the liberty to name these people, I think the name 'cafeteria politicker' does justice.
