Political Science Dirty politics have never been more appealing than they are now as director, writer, actor and all–around superstar George Clooney leads us through a controversial presidential campaign in Ides of March. Those who still haven’t mastered PSCI 130 will get a kick out of the Clooney/Gosling eye–candy fest. Maybe it’ll even serve as motivation to finally memorize those Constitutional amendments. (10/7)
Engineering Battle Bots go chic in this Hugh Jackman mega–sports drama, Real Steel. Engineers can both assert their technical superiority by mocking the robotics and fantasize themselves as part of a new generation of competitive sports. (10/7)
Communication The only series any Comm major has successfully completed since enrolling in college is finally coming to screen for the fourth time with Breaking Dawn. Sororications majors will be first in line to see a preggers Bella fight off clashing vampire clans. Her story is, like, so totally relatable duh. (11/18)
Health and Societies While the lives of millions of people are at stake due to an ultra–deadly virus, most of the theatre will be cringing. For our friendly neighborhood HSOC people, though, Contagion will be a wet dream. (9/9)
Psychology The greatest case study of the semester comes in the form of The Descendants. No behavioral lab can top this journey through George Clooney’s struggle to connect with his children after his wife’s accident. Tissues and a dorm room vent session might be necessary after this one. (11/18)
English This is an English major’s big chance to impress his/her friends with that Shakespeare line or two he had to memorize for AP Lit. Was Shakespeare a fraud? Time to hang around your apartment (while you can still afford one) and debate Anonymous. (10/28)
Biology We’d like to say that biology majors should go see We Bought a Zoo because it features an explanation of evolution or something, but honestly, we think you should go just to see Matt Damon socialize with the animals (and ScarJo). (12/23)
Theatre Arts We think you guys like to dance, but don’t know if anyone comes to Penn to actually major in theatre (isn’t that what Yale is for?). Footloose might inspire some more dancing down Locust — so long as you’re not the preacher’s daughter. (10/14)
