  • Daniel Radcliffe horror film The Woman in Black is a return to classic horror

    By February 8, 2012

    Get all of those Harry Potter jokes out of your system right now becausee whether or not you associate Daniel Radcliffe with the teenage wizard does not matter with regards to his newest film. The Woman in Black will probably scare those fond memories of Hogwarts right out of all you Muggles.

  • Live Five play East of Berlin is challenging, enticing and darkly funny

    By February 7, 2012

    East of Berlin is a sharp, biting and brutal play, laced with wicked humour and profound philosophical resonances. It is a play about uncertainty that asks hard questions of its viewer, but also provides a comfort in its familiar search for meaning. It will not depress you as other Holocaust-themed plays might, but it will leave you shaken, somewhat off-balance and generally richer for the experience.

  • Medical students to put on art show for charity

    By February 6, 2012

    On Feb. 8, the first-year class of the college of medicine will put on their annual art shot, the Med 1 Art Show and Silent Auction.

    The show is a popular event at the College of Medicine, attracting faculty, alumni and members of the public.

Each student contributes a piece of art, including painting, photography, sculpture and performance. Many local businesses and individuals have also made donations.

  • Once upon a time in Nazi Germany

    By February 6, 2012

    “Once upon a time” and “Happily ever after” — these phrases are not typically associated with the Holocaust. Yet so unfolds the storybook opening to All Through the Night.

    The dark yet strangely whimsical drama is the latest offering from the Greystone Theatre, sporting an all female cast and a striking atmosphere.

  • I suck at video games: a personal reflection on an acceptable flaw

    By February 4, 2012

    I’m 24 years old, and when you get to a certain age you start to come into yourself. For some this happens earlier, while for others it happens much too late.

    Fortunately, I seem to be coming along nicely (thank you very much), but certain aspects of my identity are also coming into focus that are starting to cause dreadful anxiety and constant self-doubt. No, I’m not referring to my marks or getting a job or wondering why the heck I’m writing this article instead of the essay due tomorrow. No, it’s something far less relevant, but it stings just the same.

  • Spending My Week with Marilyn

    By February 3, 2012

    When the words “true story” are associated with any film, particularly one with the name of a historical figure in the title, I tend to be overcome with weariness. The fear with biopics of this nature is that they are going to be completely dry and run on for an excessive amount of time. Sometimes watching a biopic feels more like reading a textbook than experiencing actual entertainment.

    Luckily, Simon Curtis’s My Week with Marilyn does not fall into this nasty trap that similar movies often find themselves in.

  • Kai Chan captures the small beauties of life

    By February 2, 2012

    Wine bottles. Toothpicks. Silk thread. Using such small, simple components, Kai Chan captures the small, simple moments in life.

    Over a dozen works spanning 35 years of Chan’s career are currently on display at the Mendel Art Gallery. His installations and sculptures are often misleadingly simple to look at. What may look like loose heaps of branches entangled in each other is, upon closer inspection, meticulously assembled, with each joint strategically connected to other components in a towering work that makes one marvel at the patience required to create this illusion.
