‘The Playroom’ plays with heartstrings

Daphne Yu October 20, 2012

Oftentimes when eleven o' clock comes and goes and I'm still swamped in all the homework I haven't done, I think to myself, "Wouldn't it be great if I was a kid again?" In the independent film "The Playroom,"...

‘Love and Other Anxieties’ fails to go anywhere

Urmilla Kuttikad October 20, 2012

I walked into the cozy, bright-walled and sofa-stuffed Ragtag theater with high expectations. Upon watching the charming trailer, I decided Lyda Kuth’s "Love and Other Anxieties" just looked like one...

‘Everyman’s Journey’ proves to be as clever as title

Nomin-Erdene Jagdagdorj October 20, 2012

I am not a die-hard fan of Journey (I’ll admit, I only know, and vaguely at that, a few of their hits), but Don’t Stop Believin’: Everyman’s Journey made me wish I were. It has been nearly 40...

‘The List’ exposes the mess America made

Ipsa Chaudhary October 20, 2012

We all know the war in Iraq is over. But is it really for the Iraqis? The documentary "The List" shows the plight of the Iraqi allies of the U.S. and the List Project’s work to save them. The project...

‘The Casual Vacancy’ proves powerful, heartbreaking

Lauren Puckett October 19, 2012

I know a book is powerful when I close that final page and all I feel is a distinct numbness. It’s as if I’ve been tossed back into the world and can’t quite recognize my surroundings. I feel moved...

‘Argo’ delivers intimate, accurate retelling of events

Jake Alden October 14, 2012

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Ben Affleck's Argo might be one of the most historically accurate films I've ever seen. It's also an exceptionally delicious cake — metaphorically speaking,...

‘Halcyon’ impresses with unique style

Lauren Puckett October 11, 2012

Halcyon  is an acquired taste. I listened to Ellie Goulding’s second studio album for the first time with skepticism, melting into intrigue. The second time through, I found myself enjoying every track,...

Sequel ‘Taken 2’ lives up to hype

Brittany Cornelison October 11, 2012

  Image used under fair use doctrineWhen people talk of movie sequels, I tend to hear a lot of the same: “the first movie’s always best” or “there’s no way they can out do the first one.” And,...

‘#3’ disappoints, obscures band’s true talent

Lauren Puckett October 10, 2012

It’s sad to watch a good band break away from its roots and then blow away in the wind. Some artists can make the transition with minimal damage — maybe even with exciting results. Unfortunately,...

Black Mesa: Source achieves goal

Atreyo Ghosh October 2, 2012

Note: The Half-Life series, and thus Black Mesa: Source, is rated M for Mature. I choose video games the same way I pick books. Neither forms of storytelling hold much value to me if they lack a good...

Avett Brothers dazzle crowd with performance

Anna Wright September 30, 2012

Beneath the elaborate cathedral ceiling of the Fabulous Fox Theater, the soulful strum of a banjo echoes through the air, accompanied by a voice like liquid gold. The audience erupts in a wave of howls...

The Head and the Heart disappoints, frustrates teen

Trisha Chaudhary September 30, 2012

All week, my friend and co-writer, Urmila, and I have been looking forward to seeing The Head and the Heart. We discovered the band last year and loved their mellow, indie music. Thinking the concert...
