Lauren Puckett March 3, 2013

You’ve heard their voices, but never their names. You’ve recognized their trills, but never their talent. You’ve heard their souls, but never their stories. They are the backup singers on hundreds...

True/False Film Festival sends message of empathy

Lauren Puckett March 3, 2013

It's clear when you look at me that I'm a True/False virgin. First of all, I look lost. I'm turning around in circles, checking my phone and my pass, standing on tip-toes to see over the crowd. I get...

Oscar Insight: Predictions for 2013’s Academy Awards

Lauren Puckett February 20, 2013
It's that time of year again - Oscar season. This Sunday, Feb. 24, the acclaimed academy will decide which of this year's films truly take the cake. We'll see celebrities dressed in their best, parading across the red carpet. We'll hear numerous thank-you speeches, accompanied by the occasional shed tear. We'll see directors and cinematographers holding their little golden men, beaming with pride. But, most of all, we'll get to see what is truly great in the film industry, and we'll get to honor it with the year's most prestigious television event. Several Bearing News staff members have pulled their heads together, and compiled this list of predictions for 2013's Oscar winners. We're by no means experts, but we hope readers will appreciate and enjoy our analysis of this year's cinematic experiences.

Lauren Puckett February 5, 2013

One of the things I've enjoyed most about Style of the Week is getting to know new people -- even if it's only for a few, brief minutes. "Hiding behind a recorder," as it's sometimes called in the journalism...

Well, here we are -- January 29. It's almost 70 degrees outside and storming, not snowing. And that means RBHS students have torn through their wardrobes, bringing out the shorts, skirts, dresses and...

I've become an expert at classroom window shopping. What I mean is this -- I waltz by classrooms, awkwardly peek through the window for an outfit that catches my eye and skip away when some wary student...

Lauren Puckett January 6, 2013

The Impossible is one of the hardest movies I’ve ever had the pleasure to watch. It’s not a laughable, stuff-your-mouth-with-popcorn film. It’s not a bittersweet chick flick to be shared at sleepovers....
