The buzzer screams at a boys basketball game against Westview on Wednesday, Feb. 3. It’s halftime, and the score is close. As always when playing against MC’s cross-town rival, the atmosphere is filled with tension. Both schools have turned out with vibrant displays of school pride, school colors, faces painted, and voices screaming. Senior Chris Santiago bursts onto the court, shirtless, an MC flag trailing behind him, and does a lap. The fans on both sides made their cheers and boos heard. The next morning, Santiago was called in by Assistant Principal Katie Salo. Santiago is now barred from all basketball games for the rest of the season. Salo says that Santiago had been taunting the opposing fans by running on the Westview side.

Much like a Victorian era James Bond, Robert Downey Jr.’s Sherlock Holmes is like a detective on steroids, something along the lines of what you would get if you mixed Mike Tyson with Einstein. Both visually and mentally engaging, the film offers enough action to satisfy manly men, enough romance to satisfy girls, enough suspense and twists to thrill mystery buffs and a good enough story to please critics.
