The first of exciting new movies to be released this summer, Iron Man 3 broke $175 million this weekend. With incredible special effects and a more developed plot line than the previous Iron Mans, it definitely deserved to top the box office. The movie chronicles smart-ass Tony Stark’s quest to defeat a terrorist whose genetically [...]

Our nation’s capital has undoubtedly become my favorite city, after Boston of course. Last month, I had the pleasure of coming to D.C. for a much needed weekend trip. During this Spring Break, I was able to participate in a 3-day program with the Global Young Leaders Academy. The program featured students from different parts [...]

Set a few years before the Civil War, Django Unchained features Jamie Foxx as Django and Christoph Waltz as Dr. Shultz, two bounty hunters who travel through the South assassinating plantation owners and Klan members, all the while searching for Django’s enslaved wife, Broomhilda. It’s a Western revenge story that’s sometimes gory, sometimes funny, and [...]

Sol Azteca is an authentic Mexican restaurant, which has been on Beacon street for 37 years. Here’s what I ordered last week when I went to check it out: Appetizer: Nopalitos en Salsa Verde (Cactus!) ($6.95) – We ordered this mainly just to see what cactus tastes like…luckily it turned out to be just the [...]

James bond #23, and the third to feature Daniel Craig, is one of the best yet – definitely better than Craig’s other two appearances in Casino Royale and Quantum os Solace. The film focuses on a visibly older bond and his quest to stop a series of terrorist plots against MI6 conceived by ex-00-agent Raoul [...]

Spoilers for both the series and the book to follow, so beware! The series is told from Lizzie’s point of view, through her vlog. She is a grad student living in California with [...]

When I first heard that Steven Spielberg was making a biopic on Abraham Lincoln, I was ecstatic. There aren’t many Civil War movies out there, and even less are about our 16th President. At first, Liam Neeson was being considered for the title role, echoing his part in Spielberg’s Schindler’s List made almost 20 years [...]

As everyone on campus is aware, a new dining hall opened this year on Bay State! This one replaces the old Towers, Myles, and Shelton dining halls. Overall, I think this new dining hall is fantastic. With two floors of diverse, delicious, and healthy choices, I can always find something new I actually want to [...]

When you absolutely don’t know where to go, the University Service Center (USC) will be your answer. The USC serves as one of the offices on campus that deals with the peculiar or funny issues that you are going through. USC representatives have gladly shared stories where students have for example come down with “Mono”, [...]

As expected, the new Batman was awesome!! Edit: What a sick trailer The finale of the Batman trilogy begins with one of the coolest action scenes I’ve seen this summer – a mid-air kidnapping led by the film’s solid follow-up to The Joker, Bane. Bane’s appearance, along with Selina Kyle/Catwoman’s raid of Bruce Wayne’s private [...]
