‘Water for Elephants’ offers unique insight into circus life
Hannah Boxerman, Lifestyle Editor
May 15, 2011
Every circus has a story. This is the premise behind “Water for Elephants”, a beautiful film now in theatres starring a smiling (for once) Robert Pattinson (of Twilight fame), a shining Reese Witherspoon (ten years his senior), and a scheming Christoph Waltz (as scary as a man in breeches can be,...

‘Something Borrowed’ is a must see
Maddie Johnson, Feature Editor
May 9, 2011
Just as many great movies have, the newest box office hit, Something Borrowed, started as a novel. Written by author Emily Griffin, it is an understatement to describe this book as a page turner. Yes, it’s a chick flick, but it’s one that men will enjoy as well. A common trend with novels... Read more »

May 9, 2011
This year, instead of having a separate Thursday Night Live and Variety Show, both were blended into a wonderful night of entertainment. The program worked out like the original Saturday Night Live, funny skits pieced together with musical acts. The host, Lafayette graduate Cecilia Dorhauer, hilariously... Read more »

April 19, 2011
Standing in anticipation for one of your favorite bands in concert is tedious to say the least. Especially when that band is 30 Seconds to Mars. Having been to a 30 Seconds to Mars concert last year in May, I had unbelievably high expectations. And those expectations were met. The first opening band,... Read more »
Scream 4 as good as original
Alicia Mestre, Reporter
April 16, 2011
In the rather common genre of post-modern spoofs, it is hard to truly stand out. The original Scream (1996) stood out as a smash hit and was followed by several sequels. While Scream 2 and 3 didn’t leave a lasting impact on me, Scream 4 regenerated the thrill of director Wes Craven’s combination... Read more »

It was March 15 when Ra Ra Riot came back to St. Louis to play at the Firebird. The Firebird itself was small, but a sense of joy filled the venue. People had come out on a Tuesday night at 9 p.m. simply because they were excited to see this show. Pomegranates, the opening band, came out and automatically... Read more »

March 9, 2011
Off Broadway hosted DJ London Calling and Innerpartysystem Tuesday, March 8. The dreary weather and inconvenient 9 p.m. start time on a Tuesday night both led to a very small crowd. The small, smoking-free, rickety building on Lemp Ave. was nearly empty when I arrived at about 30 minutes prior to... Read more »
The Adjustment Bureau doesn’t disappoint
Danielle Slauter, Reoprter
March 5, 2011
On March 4, The Adjustment Bureau hit theaters everywhere. I was somewhat skeptical at first with reviews on the previews saying it was, “better than Inception“. However, I was delightfully surprised. Matt Damon does a phenomenal job playing the main character, David Norris. He plays a believable... Read more »

Many people are excited for the iPad 2, hoping for more advanced features, possibly pushing the original iPad into the shadows.

February 25, 2011
After all the glitter fell at the Ke$sha concert on Tuesday Feb. 22, alternative rock band Cage the Elephant took the stage at the Pageant. Even with mini blizzard-like weather outside hundreds of loyal fans showed up, filling both the downstairs pit and the balcony as well. While I only stood out in... Read more »
