Maybe you can’t judge a book by its cover but you can usually do a pretty good job judging a movie by its trailer. When Magic Mike‘s trailer hit the blogosphere, most people I knew and I started rejoicing at the dishy dudes gratuitously pulling off their shirts. Mike, our protagonist (Channing Tatum who… can [...]

Yesterday, I took myself to go see Snow White and the Huntsman. It was a really gorgeous movie, with some moments that I’m sure were emotional and deep, and a nice pair of attractive sidekicks for Kristen Stewart’s eponymous protagonist, some lovely landscape helicopter shots, and the really shocking plot twist of not having a [...]

Last Sunday I found myself at Pride with one of my close friends. To say it was a rush would be an understatement – the crowd’s singular joy at being part of a group that, despite diversity in appearance and identity has something in common: the love and support of GSM (gender and sexual minorities) [...]

On May 21, I officially became a senior. It’s one of the scariest realizations I’ve ever had. Suddenly, the fact that BU is only four years long is a harsh reality – and just like my senior year of high school, I’m starting to, with mixed feelings, account for the Last Time I ____. In [...]

I don’t know if anyone else watched as much LOST as I did, but whenever I get back to school after break, I remember Jack, unshaven and drunk, standing by Kate and screaming, “WE HAVE TO GO BACK!” I actually like school. I was one of those nerds who enjoyed writing papers in high school, [...]

The blogosphere has been very busy the past few days, and on Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, and many other spaces, the most spoken word is probably Kony. As another one of our bloggers has described, Joseph Kony is a truly despicable human being, and made extremely famous after a non-profit called the Invisible Children popularized a [...]

Among the topics I’ve been thinking about this week for a blog post have been the BU task force for the hockey team, the oddly addictive qualities of Diet Coke, and what a relief it is to be able to walk out of the library without acrobatics to open my backpack. What I hit upon, [...]

On Thursday, I went to the screening of Miss Representation (the trailer can be viewed here). It was a good film, made me feel proud to be a woman, and gave me the same kind of fuzzy feelings I had when I walked out of seeing An Incovenient Truth – the world is pretty screwed [...]

I don’t know if maybe I just watch too many movies or TV shows but it seems that I’m always watching something. My takeaway from a pretty decent sociology lecture was that I should watch The Insider (a movie, incidentally, which I highly recommend and think everyone should watch right now, two big thumbs up [...]

If anyone has Netflix… come on, we’ve all seen this kind of obscure and random characterization come up at some point on our front pages. My entire family, my parents and brother in New Jersey, and me up here in Boston, uses our Netflix account, so it’s created some pretty hilarious titles after a while. [...]
