No spoilers. You’re welcome. Few games are as deserving of the descriptor “epic” as much as those in the “God of War” series. It plays like a Japanese-developed hack-and-slash but is presented with the grandeur of a Western blockbuster, and that formula is precisely why each game in the series has done well both critically and financially. But like every...
When The Sugar Hill Gang released “Rapper’s Delight” in the fall of 1979, not only did it introduce all but New York to the exciting, new, distinctly black genre of music known as hip-hop, but it frustrated those at the heart of the culture’s origins. MCs and DJs like Afrika Bambaataa and Grandmaster Flash and the community around them...
If you held the same views as myself, and hundreds of thousands of other Star Wars fans, “Solo” was a very dicey proposal. In the year and a half leading up to the film’s release there were multiple script changes as well as creative differences that eventually led to the firing of directors, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. Not...
After two sold-out performances in 2017, “Princess Ten Ten and the Dark Skies: A New Musical” returned for three showcase performances on May 25 and May 26 in Watkins 1000. This revised version included new music and lyrics by Jacqueline Emerson (most known for her role as Foxface in “The Hunger Games”) and arrangements and orchestrations by Lee Huff...
I’ll be honest: Going into “Deadpool 2,” I wasn’t expecting much. I was extremely excited going into the first one two years ago, and was thoroughly disappointed. My expectations of a smart, two-hour, tongue-in-cheek, fourth wall-breaking comedy were almost fulfilled, but it lacked the thoughtfulness I had hoped for. And no, I’m not sitting here as some highly intellectual...
Throughout the latter half of 2017, “Rick and Morty” was inescapable from conversations. With the third season in full swing and a fanbase that only grew with each episode, it became Adult Swim’s highest rated show while also claiming the title of television’s No. 1 comedy. All things considered, it's no surprise that the show has been renewed for...
As I walked around Far Far Away Record Store, wallowing in the thought of never seeing our beloved Green One again, I suddenly heard a sound. “Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me,” the words proclaimed. Now, the Green One had certainly rolled me before, but I couldn’t be sure. As the words continued with, “I...
After the long summer, fall is here and winter is steadily approaching. Which means your shorts need to be swapped out for jeans and your jackets, dusted. If you are not particularly interested in campus fashion or don’t know where to begin, here are some trends and styling options to help you transition for the slightly colder days ahead....
E3 2014 was — per usual for the video game industry’s largest trade event — a hodgepodge of phoney, often cringe-inducing, pandering and gimmickry in between the announcement of a few eyebrow-raising AAA titles. Unsurprisingly, “Bloodborne,” “Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End” and the then-unnamed “Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” were met with intrigue and intensive coverage, though...
Full disclosure: I am not, have never been and never will be, a mother. Most of my insight into motherhood is informed by my own mother, other mothers and the occasional reading. Did you know creating and lugging around a miniature human being is hard work? Crazy, I know. There aren’t too many things as uniform in motherhood as...
