Review: "Parkland"
An absolute pressure cooker of a film, “Parkland” presents an intimate and visceral look at events following the assassination of John F.
Album Review: "Glacier"—Teen Daze
Ambient is the name of the game, and though Teen Daze hits the mark on a few songs, he falls short on crafting a holistic experience.
Album Review: "Days Are Gone"—Haim
The Los Angeles–based Haim sisters burst onto the music scene during the summer of 2012 with danceable singles “Falling” and “Forever” that were ripe and ready for alternative radio play.
Album Review: "The 20/20 Experience 2 of 2"—Justin Timberlake
The second half of Justin Timberlake’s “20/20 Experience” falls short of the hype.
Review: "Gravity"
The opening credits of “Gravity” cautiously signal its central premise, that life is impossible in space.
Album Review: “B-Room"—Dr. Dog
Dr. Dog’s seventh studio album combines a mixture of instrumental heavy tunes with their own style of psychedelic tunes for the masses.
Album Review: "Pure Heroine"–Lorde
Lorde’s highly anticipated debut album “Pure Heroine” doesn’t produce the same thrill that its title promises.
Review: "Rush"
“Rush,” Ron Howard’s gripping drama, recounts the true story of a near–deadly rivalry in the world of Formula 1 racing.
Album Review: "The Bones of What You Believe"– Chvrches
Glaswegian synth pop trio Chvrches opens its debut album with “The Mother We Share,” a song that was released as a single over a year ago.
Album Review: "Mechanical Bull" – Kings of Leon
After three years without new music, Tennessee–based rockers Kings of Leon have returned to the spotlight with their latest album, “Mechanical Bull.” Overall, the album disappoints more than it excites.
Album Review: "Nothing Was the Same" – Drake
Drake’s newest album, “Nothing Was the Same,” does not have a misleading title.
Review: "Don Jon"
Joseph Gordon–Levitt’s first (and, hopefully, not last) time writing, directing and starring in a feature is the story of Jon Martello (Gordon–Levitt), a materialistic partier whose obsession with internet porn has taken a toll on his sex life.
Review: "Electric Lady"—Janelle Monae
“Electric Lady” is comprised of the fourth and fifth installments of Janelle Monae’s “Cindi Maywater Android” series that began with her 2007 debut EP.
Review: Selena Gomez—"Stars Dance"
Unless you’re a diehard Selena Gomez fan, there’s really no reason why you should listen to her new album, “Stars Dance.” In a summer with some serious female pop starpower (see: Icona Pop, Marina and the Diamonds), this subpar album is an especially resounding dud.
Review: Justin Timberlake — "The 20/20 Experience"
The crooner genre has come a long way since 2006’s "FutureSex/LoveSounds," and J.T.
Fantasy Spring Fling Lineups
With Spring Fling just around the corner, musings and daydreams on the mystery lineup abound. Here are our picks. SPEC, are you listening?
David Bowie—“The Next Day”
David Bowie’s “The Next Day” has proven problematic to discuss. With so much esteem for the album floating around already, the words do not come easily.
Review: Delicias on Campus
Delicias Philly just bought a second truck and they’re parking it at Penn.
Review: "A Good Day to Die Hard"
I’m a die–hard fan of the Die Hard series.
