Review: "Spring Breakers"
“Spring Breakers” is an unusual film, but less ambitious and more mainstream than director and eccentric Harmony Korine’s previous outings.
Review: "Admission"
"Admission” teeters between romantic comedy and coming–of–age story, never quite knowing what it wants to be.

Netflix Pick of the Week: Hara–Kiri: Death of Samurai
To the untrained eye, "Hara–Kiri" may look like a cheesy B–Movie about ninjas, but this 2011 period drama is much more artful and well made than it seems, with gripping performances and beautiful cinematography.
To Infinity and Beyond! The Penn Art Club Annual Exhibition
Between the suit wearers at Huntsman and the scrub–clad students at HUP, Penn art culture may appear as dormant as Van Pelt studiers at 4 am.

Wavves—"Afraid of Heights"
“Afraid of Heights,” San Diego punk band Wavves’ latest release, is arguably their most mature effort yet. From the outset, the album is simultaneously comforting and noisy as “Sail to the Sun” opens with deceitfully dreamy instrumentals and quickly morphs into a classic surf–rock–esque Wavves song. After three studio releases, Wavves has finally achieved a strong, adventurous album that does not indulge itself. With fuzzy, relaxed tracks like “Dog” and “I Can’t Dream” and upbeat, powerhouse songs like “Lounge Forward” and “Beat Me Up,” Wavves both avoids the redundancy of past releases and begs listeners to stay for the whole show. GRADE: A Sounds best when: Paired with a surfing montage 99-Cent Download: “Lounge Forward”

Given the relatively short turnaround since the Strokes released the disappointing "Angles", the band's new album was approached with skepticism.
Review: "Beyond the Hills"
The Romanian “Beyond the Hills” is like a chopped-and-screwed horror flick: the plot, a drama about two lifelong friends torn apart, follows a fairly typical possession/exorcism arc, but inches along at a glacial pace that threatens to sap the film of all tension.
