A collateral mess: Collateral Beauty disappoints
By Alyssa Berrios | Dec. 26, 2016, 9:53 a.m. | In Movies »
Will Smith fans may have been eager to hear that he would be acting in a new movie, Collateral Beauty. However, half an hour into the film and Collateral Beauty seemed like a never-ending story heading nowhere.Collateral Beauty is a modern-day "Christmas Carol" without the feeling of wanting to watch it over again.
Rogue One heck of a movie
By Pedraam Faridjoo | Dec. 26, 2016, 9:26 a.m. | In Entertainment »
In this age of tired remakes and reboots, it's easy to be cynical. Popular franchises (I'm looking at you, The Hobbit) release low-quality, uninspired hogwash to trick dedicated viewers into paying money for movies they don't need.But, Rogue One proved to be different.

"Moana" makes waves
By Sandeep David | Nov. 27, 2016, 2:12 p.m. | In Movies »
The Disney princess franchise hits the mark again with "Moana", the story of a chief's daughter (not a princess), Moana (Auli'i Cravalho), who takes an adventure on the sea with the company of a shape-shifting demigod, Maui (Dwayne Johnson), and an irritating but lovably dim witted rooster to save the world from complete ecological destruction (pretty standard, as Disney films go). Though the plot may drag a little, "Moana" is a heartfelt and exciting movie for all.
The play's the thing
By Eleanor Cook | Nov. 22, 2016, 12:57 p.m. | In Plays »
In this modern-day rendition of Shakespeare's classic tragedy, complete with selfies and sweater vests, Blair theater brings Hamlet to life. With a wonderful cast and set, the play is two-hours well-spent.

By Charles Lott | Nov. 14, 2016, 2:04 p.m. | In Television »
Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg's new VH1 cooking show "Potluck Dinner" premiered Monday, inciting laughter and hunger in viewers. Their numerous celebrity guests employ overt marijuana innuendos, references to one another's checkered pasts, and hysterical contrasts between different cultures to keep the show funny and fresh.
Doctor Strange strangely familiar
By Nate Bodner | Nov. 8, 2016, 9:49 a.m. | In Movies »
Doctor Strange takes the very familiar story line of foolish pride, followed by the inevitable action that brings his success to a sad end, that you don't have to know the Dr. Strange comics to be able to figure out. However, this film provides enough mind-bending effects, humor, and good acting to keep this movie fresh in a time of formulaic, "tried and true" superhero movies.

By Pedraam Faridjoo | Oct. 30, 2016, 12:26 a.m. | In Movies »
With October 31 lurking just around the corner, it is now time to prepare for my favorite holiday. Although decorating houses, carving pumpkins, following people around at night dressed like a clown and choosing which candy to give out are all fun, the best activity is a Halloween movie marathon.

The Legend of Tarzan: A Successful Swing
By Zoe Friedman | Aug. 21, 2016, 12:41 p.m. | In Movies »
The Legend of Tarzan packs intense action, gripping mystery, comedy and, yes, gorilla fights, into a mere 1 hour 50 minutes. The movie leaves viewers exhilarated and wanting more.
The Infiltrator somehow sneaks into theaters
By Ryan Handel | Aug. 1, 2016, 3:47 p.m. | In Movies »
Despite a talented cast and a compelling premise, The Infiltrator is an overall let-down. With too little exposition and too many moving parts, the movie is difficult to follow. A strong lead performance by Bryan Cranston, who plays undercover agent Robert Mazur, is not enough to overcome the vague plot and the many seemingly repetitive scenes.
A shark. A girl. Oh no!
By Alyssa Berrios | July 11, 2016, 9:54 a.m. | In Movies »
With heart-stopping suspense and an intriguing climax, "The Shallows" brings many beachgoers' fear of sharks alive. The survival film includes many action-packed moments and is a modern-day 'Jaws,' woman versus nature (in the form of a gargantuan great white shark) thriller that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats with its riveting plot and detailed graphics.

By Mehana Daftary | June 20, 2016, 12:25 p.m. | In Movies »
Announced in 2013, Finding Dory truly lived up to the high expectations set by the well-lovedFinding Nemo, with central themes of familial love and never giving up. Childish humor, suspenseful moments and tear-jerking scenes make this movie a must see for audiences young and old.
Hiding in plain sight
By Maniza Habib | June 3, 2016, 1:11 p.m. | In Restaurant Reviews »
We all love Chipotle's burrito bowls, Santucci's artisan sandwiches and Subway's fresh footlongs, but there are some places across the street that stay hidden in the shadows of those Four Corners staples. We pass by Four Corners every day before school, after school, and during school (just kidding, because we have closed lunch, of course!), yet somehow we ignore the independent eateries just a short walk away.

Batman v. Superman: Dawn of the Justice League
By Sandeep David | April 11, 2016, 3:32 p.m. | In Movies »
Cluttered with extraneous characters and dragging on for far longer than it needs to, Batman v. Superman is disjointed at best.

Pride and prejudice and zombies, oh my!
By Maniza Habib | Feb. 15, 2016, 6:14 p.m. | In Movies »
"Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" is perfectly competent and nothing else. It's probably not worth it to watch in theaters, but maybe a good film to watch at home--just for the laughs.

By Lauren Frost | Feb. 1, 2016, 3:56 p.m. | In Movies »
Being a Kevin Hart movie, it has a very silly feel and a somewhat childish sense of humor.The movie, though not great, is nonetheless a fun watch.
