Insipid, dull, talky, rancid, long, insulting, stupid, presumptuous and wholly disappointing - what else would you expect from Hollywood? "Basic" is easily one of the worst movies so far this year, and man, have there been a lot of them.
MSU police are asking local media to release footage of Sunday's riots in an attempt to punish students involved.

East Lansing City Manger Ted Staton testified to legislators Thursday in hopes using homeland security funding to restore funding once received from state fire protection grants. Staton told members of the House Veterans Affairs and Homeland Security Committee in Lansing the effects of the $470,000 loss in fire grants this year is too much money to cut if places such as East Lansing and MSU are to be adequately protected.
