Film: “The Roommate” and “Jane Eyre”
Getting assigned a random roommate your freshman year can be a bit of a crapshoot. If you’re lucky, you can end up with a lasting friendship, but it’s more than likely that you and your roommate will have a somewhat cold, yet cordial, relationship. In “The Roommate,” one freshman (Minka Kelly of “Friday Night Lights”) got a third option: a psychologically damaged roommate (Leighton Meester of “Gossip Girl”) who is dangerously obsessed with her.
Here’s a treat for the high school English student in us all: A powerful retelling of Charlotte Bronte’s classic novel, “Jane Eyre” follows the troubled romance between a governess and her employer in 19th century England. Mia Wasikowska (of “Alice in Wonderland”) gives a groundbreaking performance as the title character; according to some critics, it’s the best ever on film.
Princeton Garden Theatre

Theater: The Elephant Man
