NSR's captivating ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ will eat your heart in the marketplace
On Saint Patrick’s Day this year, the Irish rock band U2 released their new album, “Songs of Surrender,” on a limited edition Notre Dame-inspired vinyl. While the tracks on the record themselves are an exciting showcase of the band’s range and timeless quality, the “Notre Dame-ness” of the graphics on the product itself leaves something to be desired.
On the evening of Good Friday, the Notre Dame Folk Choir presented their much-anticipated work, “The Passion,” under a clear, starry sky on South Quad. I attended last year’s debut of “The Passion” and was markedly impressed, so naturally, I was excited to experience it again. This production managed to exceed any and all expectations. Although I witnessed the wonderful birth of “The Passion” last Easter, I must confess, this year’s performance was personally transformative.
For most of my viewing of “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” I was in awe at its very existence. I grew up playing almost exclusively Pokemon and Mario games, and even today the Mario series never ceases to delight me. To see the world that so captivated me as a child rendered with the level of care and detail in this movie was honestly exhilarating for me. And yes, though the movie has its faults, it is genuinely good.
