Despite the pseudo-sexual undertones in the title, How to Train Your Dragon was perfectly kid-friendly, with enough spice to appeal to an older crowd (although I admit I may have been the oldest in the theater, not counting harried parents). It was also, in my eyes, a perfect movie. I could have watched it again immediately after I ...

The Gettysburg Dance Ensemble—a student-run, freestyle dancing club—held its spring performances this past Friday and Sunday, March 26th and 28th. The program, entitled “Move It!,” included dancing styles of hip hop, contemporary, jazz, salsa, swing/blues, and several others. The club’s president, Jen Giambrone, opened the show with quick words of gratitude to the contributors, and then it ...

I have a feeling we’re all gonna be needing it, even if it ...

Like all LOST fan(atic)s, I was ecstatic about the coming final season, though this excitement was fraught with worry and hesitancy.  I worried of course about whether the writers would be able to make it satisfactory.  Will we get the answers to our questions (both big and small)?  Will they be able to wrap up all the loose ...

So, it was a good week for me…I found out somebody actually read one of my articles. Good week, right? Hell fuckin’ yeah. Shake and bake baby. Anyway, here’s ten more songs. This is actually my favorite compilation of pre-gaming songs I think, between Luda and the newer mash-ups and remixes. Its a ten-song streak that —when blasted— ...
