“Kung Fu Panda 3” is an animated adventure starring the voices of Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Bryan Cranston and J.K. Simmons. It was funny if familiar (especially if you watched “The Legend of Korra”) and was a decent film to end the series.
The movie shows Po the panda taking on the role of a teacher and failing miserably while...
Achieving the impossible is something that everyone wants to accomplish at some point in their life, whether it be mastering a perfect SAT score or winning an Olympic gold medal for track despite a broken leg. In reality, these extreme instances are rarely granted, making the few that have occurred historical and even life defining. In the world of...
If you’re at all familiar with the wildly popular book and movie “Fifty Shades of Grey ” by E.L. James, then you’ve most likely heard about the newest spoof, “Fifty Shades of Black.” The film, produced by Marlon Wayans and Rick Alvarez, follows suit behind the Wayans brothers’ largely popular spoofs “Scary Movie” and “White Chicks.”
From the first scene,...
Even with the release of a long-awaited new album, it’s a little misleading to say she’s back — given that she never left. Although “ANTI” is Rihanna’s first release since 2012’s “Unapologetic,” the Barbadian songstress has remained in the spotlight, and with her latest project she proves that she has a right to.
With “ANTI,” the 27-year-old appears to be...
The Culver Center of the Arts is perhaps one of the most important cultural centers in Riverside. Located about five minutes from Mission Inn, the center hosts exhibitions, film screenings and even poetry readings. This Friday, the center hosted one such event, celebrating two poets, Heather Altfeld and Troy Jollimore, as a part of their regular series “Conversations at...
Building culture is a series in the Arts & Entertainment section dedicated to examining different buildings around the area and their important history and roles in our community.
There aren’t that many bookstores in Riverside. This is a shame, since books are the essential building blocks of education. Teach a person how to read and write, and they can practically...
UCR’s Department of Theatre, Film and Digital Production has started a late night show by and for UCR students. Titled “UCR Late Night” and debuting their pilot episode last quarter, I interviewed several students involved in the project, including Bryant Glover, the show’s host, as well as co-creator Rafid Sikder, and writers Sanjana DeSilva and Nicolas Callas.
Bryant Glover, executive...
“My uncles had to pay the cost ... / my momma caught the gambling bug ... / my papa was behind them bars” sings the LA-bred Anderson .Paak on “The Bird,” the opening track to his most introspective and musically complete project yet. “Malibu” features 16 tracks well-tailored to Paak’s seductively stirring vocals, a more palatable contrast to the...
7 p.m., Wednesday night — it’s the week directly preceding the onslaught of midterms — so it would only make sense that one would find students holed up in the solitary confines of their bedrooms or the library. Right?
Wrong.
A drove of eager bodies lined the Barn’s entryway in anticipation of ASPB’s Beat2Beat, a dance floor event playing host to...

Before I watched “The Fifth Wave,” I predicted that it would involve a young, pretty girl who somehow diverges from the rest of the youth population to save the world and becomes the subject of a “two hot guys” love triangle.

“The Fifth Wave” centers around an ordinary high...
