I walked into Cloud Atlas a few nights ago on a mere whim. I had just left Wreck-it Ralph (a rather brilliant movie in its own right, I suggest you go see it) and in the midst of an empty theater I convinced a friend of mine to sneak into Cloud Atlas with me because […]

Theater Review: Cardenio
Brooklyn College’s Theatre Department held a wedding party – featuring the marriage of Anselmo (Matt McGill) and Camila (Sara Fallon Moran) – as part of Stephen Greenblatt and Charles L. Mee’s play Cardenio. Directed by Brooklyn College alum Stephen Kaliski, this play focuses on a wedding party for a happy couple on their weekend away […]
Opera Lessons
Soul soaring, reaching the heights, pure expression, the release of all feeling and emotion: that is the high that music can give. Pouring heart and soul into a voice and singing with almost wordless grace is the elegance of opera. The ability to inspire emotion and bring an audience to tears, as most great operas do, […]
No Instruments, No Mercy: The Macaulay Triplets Fall Concert
Joined by the Carnegie Mellon Originals and the NYU Mixtapes, the Macaulay Triplets held their first concert of the year at the Macaulay Honors College building. Arriving just a few minutes before the concert began, the first thing said to me upon entering the building was “Good luck finding a seat.” I understood the statement […]
Fall Fashion Trends
When I think of Fall, I think of the colorful leaves, the crisp air, and all of the awesome fashion. Fall clothing represents a sophisticated contrast to the fun lightness of summer clothing. The colors are rich, the textures are complex, and the tailoring is sharp. The semester has just started, and I’ve already started […]
Theater Review: Suburban Motel
If the line, “Let’s make six naked sex movies and we’ll talk about it,” does not make you think of a night at Brooklyn College, think again — until Oct. 21, that’s a sentence that shall ring through the auditorium of Whitman stage as part of the Theater Department’s first show of the season. The […]
Lizzie Borden: The Musical
An underground musical has reemerged in New York, and it brought its double-homicide. Three years ago, Lizzie Borden: The Musical had a run off-off-Broadway that drew a lot of attention, including a largely positive review from the New York Times. Since then, it has slowly been building momentum with a couple of other productions throughout […]

Filled with heartwarming, powerful, dramatic sounds, the band has branched out from their typical tunes and expressed themselves in a brand new way that is certainly worth noticing.

Get Your Gleek On!
Glee just began its fourth season of slushies, singing, and high school romances. Up until this season, Glee had taken place in Lima, Ohio at McKinley High School, with every episode’s plot revolving around the New Directions, McKinley’s Glee Club. New Directions had the same members for three years, with the exception of a few […]
How Film Has Ruined Men
Before I begin, I would like to note that this is something concerning a sub-conscious tendency. This is not in reference to men that LITERALLY see women as objects; people that do this are not victims of multimedia but rather of their own psychology. These men even view other men as objects, except that the […]
