Mitski's gentle yet striking voice stirred the emotions of concertgoers at the High Noon Saloon last week.

Mitski enchants audience with heartbreaking, empowering music

By Sammy Gibbons | Mar. 28, 2018

Superheroes don’t always wear capes, or so the saying goes. Sometimes they blend into the black backdrop on a stage and cast their powers over a crowd through the vibrations of their guitar strings. Indie rock singer-songwriter Mitski radiated this power, her chin raised and legs placed firmly in a powerful stance, regal as she watched over her kingdom at the High Noon Saloon this past Thursday.

ANNIHILATION

‘Annihilation’ is a thought-provoking, visually marvelous expedition

By Christian Memmo | Mar. 28, 2018

“Annihilation” is a melting pot. It’s quite difficult to compare it to a singular film that might capture its mood and personality. It carries the same cerebral, ominous tones that were signature traits in director Alex Garland’s previous hit, “Ex Machina,” and now bleeds into the increasingly horrific expedition via our protagonist crew.

Mindy Kaling’s 'Champions' has strong leads, weak surrounding elements

By Monique Scheidler | Mar. 28, 2018

If there’s one celebrity who I could become best friends with, it would be Mindy Kaling. “The Mindy Project” was one of my favorite rom-coms, and when it ended, I was horrified I would no longer have a weekly hangout with Mindy — so I mostly just stalked her Instagram. Luckily, she wasn’t gone for too long, as she premiered her new show “Champions” earlier this month on NBC. Though it’s not the greatest, any Mindy is better than no Mindy.

Barcelona filmmaker discusses upcoming movie 'Ojos Negros'

By Edgar Sanchez | Mar. 25, 2018

Ivet Castelo Torres, Catalan indie film co-director and co-producer of the upcoming film, “Ojos Negros,” sat down with me last month for an interview. Over some classic paella and a glass of wine, she discussed the movie’s plot and intricacies of shooting in Spain, as well as some of the unique properties of pursuing an education in filmography.

Logic does not impress on new mixtape; albums remain superior works

By Edgar Sanchez | Mar. 15, 2018

Fans of “Rick and Morty,” myself included, may not have expected the duo to return Logic’s favor of a brief cameo, as he did last season on the popular show. The grandfather-grandson duo announced last week that Logic was dropping a sequel to his well-received Bobby Tarantino mixtape that would be “Good ol’ Atlanta-style club rap.”

The white feminism of the "UnReal" protagonists is one of many aspects that make them two of TV’s greatest anti-heroes.

?‘UnReal’ season three nails girl power theme, yet seems disingenuous at times

By Monique Scheidler | Mar. 13, 2018

In my opinion, “UnReal” is one of TV’s hidden gems. It was perhaps the first show that brought serious attention to Lifetime, as the network was formerly known to air cheesy, made-for-TV movies or “Dance Moms.” “UnReal” follows two female producers, Quinn and Rachel, of a “The Bachelor” parody program called “Everlasting.” They manipulate the contestants of the show, as well as their co-workers, for the sake of good ratings.

"Metal Gear Survive" is now available for PS4, Xbox One and PC.

‘Metal Gear Survive’ is a series low point

By Marty Forbeck | Mar. 8, 2018

As the most baffling game in the most baffling series ever made, “Metal Gear Survive” has reasonable claim to the title of “Weirdest Game Ever.” But break down the forces behind its creation, and it suddenly becomes one of the most sensical, cynical business decisions made in the video game industry.
