Memorial Day'

Hollywood, from time to time, will come out with a war film full of pomp and circumstance that makes us think, "Wow, that's cool." A quiet, awe-inspiring movie theater will fill with the noise of battle as great special effects, heart-wrenching storylines, lots of Nazi butt kicking and extraordinary acts of valor light up the screen.

Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters' doesn't quite nail it

From a director whose notable works include a Nazi zombie horror comedy and a Norwegian parody of "Kill Bill" comes "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters"-exactly the kind of violent, outrageous fun to be expected. But you do have to be expecting it.

2013 Film Festival displays ND talent

The 24th annual Student Film Festival, held this weekend in the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center, offered students an incredible opportunity to check out some of the budding talent in their midst before they become too famous.

Death of the Album

No one buys CDs anymore. Not really. They are not as extinct as say, the cassette tape, but it is safe to say that the birth of Napster, iTunes and the MP3 put a quick end to the reign of the compact disk. So perhaps its time we had a frank discussion about the Bermuda Triangle of music critique, the "concept album."

Suits' is back and better than ever

The summer finale of USA Network's "Suits" left viewers wondering about the future of the Pearson-Hardman law firm, but the next block is back this month with more entertaining cases to solve and co-worker drama to discuss.

Keep Calm and Style On: Thank you, Anna

On a late Sunday evening in mid-January, I sat stranded between mounds of unsorted clothing and an empty suitcase. A year ago, if you had asked me what to wear to an internship interview, I would have grabbed a pair of modest black heels, my black Banana Republic suit and a colorful top - and then called myself a risk-taker. This was a new day, however, and with the peaceful sighs of my sleeping roommate as my nighttime soundtrack, I glanced hopelessly up at the temporarily retired suit ensemble.

Why You Should Love 'Girls'

Lena Dunham, the 26 year-old, writer, director and star of the HBO series "Girls" graduated from college five years ago.

What Your Favorite 'Girls' Character Says About You

Lena Dunham had quite the night on Jan. 13. Not only did the second season of "Girls" premiere on HBO, but she also won Golden Globes for Best Actress and Best Television Show for the program that she writes, stars in and often directs (that's what Charlie Sheen would refer to as #winning.)

Workaholics' Is Back

On Jan. 16, "Workaholics" returned to Comedy Central with "Booger Nights," a thoroughly enjoyable episode. This also meant the return of the new age, desk-jockey renditions of "The Three Stooges" - mainstays Blake Anderson, Adam DeVine and Anders "Ders" Holm.

The Return of 'Downton Abbey'

The third season of "Downton Abbey" premiered in the U.S. on January 6. We're now three episodes deep, including a two-hour opener. Speaking as a fan of the series, I am somewhat disappointed by the recycling of old storylines. The marriages and almost-marriages, impending collapse of the class system, breast-cancer scares and inclusion of a driver into the aristocracy's social gatherings are all new storylines, but they feel like they've been done before.
