This 'Prince' is worth your time
By Ashley Glowinski | Jun. 15, 2010For anyone who played Ubisoft's ""Prince of Persia"" games, envisioning the story in movie format may be difficult. Lovers of the game may ask, ""Can a movie ever capture the thrill and action of a game? Let alone that of ‘Prince of Persia'?""
Bullet for My Valentine's latest a Fever you definitely want to catch
By Ashley Glowinski | Apr. 25, 2010Many fans of metal and rock alike will love the new Bullet for My Valentine album, Fever. This is the third release the band has put out, and it is by far the best. Their first, The Poison was released in 2005, and their second, Scream Aim Fire, came out in 2008. Now, Bullet for My Valentine has managed to put another great album together while still riding the success of their last release.
Ready to go 'Into the Woods'
By Clay Thomas and Ashley Glowinski | Apr. 21, 2010In this Stephen Sondheim musical, anything can happen when you go ""Into the Woods,"" the closing production of the season for University Theatre. It introduces the audience to their favorite fairy-tale characters in a way they have never seen them before. Show-goers follow Little Red Riding Hood to her granny's house, meet an ugly old witch and some handsome princes, see if Cinderella ever makes it to the festival and much more. It's the stories and characters we all know and love in situations we never could have predicted. Who knew princesses could be so clumsy, old men so mysterious and that trees could sing so well?
'Fantasy' displays visual brilliance
By Ashley Glowinski | Mar. 23, 2010Although visually appealing with intense colors and characters, ""Final Fantasy XIII"" falls short. This game follows a basic story path and gives the player little control, unlike previous ""Final Fantasy"" games that allowed players to venture on side quests, play mini games and direct their own experience.
Lifehouse album worth the wait
By Ashley Glowinski | Mar. 8, 2010Many die-hard Lifehouse fans and music buffs alike remember the 2001 hit single ""Hanging by a Moment"" from the band's debut album, No Name Face. Back then, the members of Lifehouse—original members Rick Woolstenhulme Jr. and Jason Wade—were unrecognizable faces. Now, nine years after the band's first big hit, Lifehouse is a household name.
