‘21 Jump Street’ plays with stereotypes

Published March 23, 2012 in Arts, Etc. - Dana Trismen

“21 Jump Street,” the newly released action-comedy film starring Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum, manages to make everyday stereotypes funny again. The film is loosely based on the TV series of the same name, which aired on Fox and sprung Johnny Depp to stardom during the 1980s. Since its opening on March 16, the film […]

‘The Legend of Korra’ meets high expectations

Published March 23, 2012 in Arts, Etc. - Juliette Martin

In 2008, Nickelodeon’s animated series “Avatar: The Last Airbender” was brought to a rather premature end. Thanks to its enormous popularity among both its target age group and teenagers (most of whom are now college students), however, “The Last Airbender” is far from dead. Recently, the first episode of its sequel series, “The Legend of […]

‘Footloose’ has all the right moves

Published March 23, 2012 in Arts, Etc. - Sean Fabery

It’s always a risky venture when you stage a show as familiar as “Footloose.” After all, the 1984 Kevin Bacon movie has long been a part of our pop culture lexicon, and a remake appeared just last fall. As it turns out, this risk pays off handsomely for the Hillel Theater Group (HTG), which is […]

New show ‘Missing’ suspense and intelligence

Published March 23, 2012 in Arts, Etc. - Yael Katzwer

Often when reviewing a new show based off of a pilot episode, one needs to hedge one’s bets and say that while the show is good or bad now, that can easily change as it is only the pilot episode. I feel I can say, however, that “Missing,” ABC’s new Thursday night drama, is terrible […]

Boston Village Gamelan brings Javanese music to Brandeis

Published March 23, 2012 in Arts, Etc. - Adam Hughes

“Welcome to the workshop! You can watch us for 10 minutes, then you have to start playing.” It was 4 p.m. on Wednesday, and I had an hour before class on a beautiful spring afternoon. On the idealized silver screen, settings like this are for lounging on the lawn and reading or dozing off; perhaps […]

Eliza and The Strange are a great new find

Published March 23, 2012 in Arts, Etc. - Adam Marx

Sometimes it takes a lot of legwork in this business to find the next underground sensation. My discovery of Eliza and The Strange, however, was the happiest of accidents that have turned into an obsessive listening binge that, for the last 72 hours, has nearly kept me from sleeping. Recently, I was intrigued by the […]

Musika Rox rocks

Published March 23, 2012 in Arts, Etc. - Yael Katzwer

Musika Rox. Musika is Hebrew for Music. Rox is Arabic for dance. I think it is time for B’Yachad Israeli Dance Troupe to rename their annual show because they brought much more than just Middle Eastern song and dance; they brought fun, poetry and discussion—just to name a few of the additions—to their show March […]

Social media privacy not black and white

Published March 23, 2012 in Arts, Etc. - Anastasia Austin

Social media has made headlines in the news lately because of its role and effectiveness in not only spreading news but popularizing it. The Kony 2012 campaign, specifically, caught the eyes of traditional news networks that praised it for raising awareness. The campaign criticized the media for factual fallacies and jealously pointed out that they’d […]

Women’s tennis continues early domination

Published March 23, 2012 in Sports - Brian Tabakin

The 25th-ranked Brandeis women’s tennis team easily dispatched Bentley University 8-1 in their home opener Thursday afternoon. Alexa Katz ’14 sealed the victory for the Judges with her straight set victory 6-0, 6-2 at No. 4 singles. After Katz clinched the match, the Judges won three of the final four matches. With the win, the […]
