Thomas Gibson rehearses as Dexter Porter in 'You Could Die Laughing’, the upcoming student production at Nash Community College.

This show is to die for.

A group of washed-up comedians have been brought to a secluded island to audition for a spot on a television show. But when the group becomes stranded and the competitors start dying off, who will have the last laugh?

    Foods for a healthy lifestyle can be full of great flavor.

    Take the traditional Mediterranean diet for example. It is characterized by daily consumption of olive oil, fish, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts and whole grains. It also encourages eating fewer processed foods and reducing consumption of meat, a common source of omega-6 fatty acids.

  • Damon gets in the 'Zone'

    Recently, I saw that Bruce Willis had claimed the mantle of “loner hero” in action movies. You know, those thrillers like “Die Hard” and “Last Man Standing.” Think Gary Cooper in “High Noon,” but in a modern-day setting.

    In that same vein, I think Matt Damon is starting to personify the outside-the-system hero.
