During the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the media reported on the violent and criminal incidents occurring in New Orleans. But those horrific tales were only a small percentage of the stories to come out of the tragedy. The 30 minute documentary "After the Storm: Katrina Survivors & ...
I woke up yesterday to a phone call from a creditor threatening to ruin my life for the next seven years if I didn't pay him an ungodly sum of money. That cemented my entire day. Nothing could change the course of it. Tuesday was going to suck. Just as I was getting ready to go out the door for class, ...
Recently, a few readers told me my reviews have been a tad one-sided. If I love a movie, I go on and on about how great it was and rarely mention anything negative about it. The opposite goes for the films I really dislike. So, I will attempt from now on to address the good and the bad. The new "The ...
As an incoming freshman, college can seem like a daunting task. Friends go off to different schools, you have to get used to a new schedule of classes and sometimes Ramen Noodles are your only friend. Getting adjusted to this new environment can sometimes seem challenging, but there's always one thing ...
Despite losing three starters to the NBA Draft, more than half of his team's offense, and facing several uncertainties going into next season, men's basketball Coach John Calipari said he isn't worried about his team's future.

Writer and producer David Simon draws on his background as a crime reporter for The Baltimore Sun to inform his style of making television shows like NBC's "Homicide: Life on the Streets," "The Wire," and the HBO mini-series "The Corner." They all lack the theatricality of most shows that dial up the ...
Every once in awhile, a movie comes along that literally raises my heart rate. I can feel the thuds getting faster and faster as the movie progresses. This feeling isn't elation, it's pure unadulterated rage! The last 45 minutes of "Hancock" felt like an attempt on my life. After it ended, I felt like ...
Never have I felt more like a kid than at last Saturday's Radio Disney promotional screening for Pixar's latest film "WALL-E." I felt just like I did when I first saw "E.T." when I was 5 years old. The story's simple structure makes it instantly appealing. Humans evacuate Earth in a spaceship because ...
Our hope that Adam Sandler will return to the hilarity of "Happy Gilmore" and "The Wedding Singer," is the primary reason nonsensical, inept garbage like "You Don't Mess with the Zohan," exists. I saw "Zohan" with the same jaded optimism that sent me to the theater for the lame 2006 summer movie "Click," ...
