Kelly:
Even though the current financial crisis is indeed a serious problem, many people are unable to explain its details very well. Before watching Capitalism: A Love Story, I was definitely among those who could not articulate exactly what had happened to the economy.

Pop stars are back - even though I'm not sure where they went or if they even left at all. Perhaps this is a tardy commentary on their return. But as a child of the '90s, I can proudly say that I was there through it all with a Walkman in hand and those headphones that go over your ears - none of this earbud business.

Derek Trucks Band
Butch Trucks, the drummer for The Allman Brothers Band, has a nephew that is the only apparent heir to slide virtuoso Duane Allman: Derek Trucks. He mostly plays slide guitar, something seldom heard. His childhood was spent among the Allman Brothers Band, and it shows; he is definitely influenced by their blues, but Trucks also has a background in jazz.

Complaining about "Modern Warfare 2" seems both tired, because everyone's doing it, and futile, because everyone else is going to buy it anyway. But just when I'm ready to stop yelling, Infinity Ward goes and screws something else up.
For a long time - long in video game terms, which means maybe five years - "Halo" and its sequels were the standard bearer for "normal gaming.

I had high expectations going into Paranormal Activity. The trailer for the movie was pretty scary as far as trailers go. I also had several friends who had seen the movie, and some of them had not been able to sleep for several days afterward. Well-made horror flicks are few and far between in Hollywood these days, but Paranormal Activity looked promising.

Having parents visit is a marvelous thing. There are exquisite meals, gratis trips to Target, and a chance to experience things you might not have had the impetus to go do without a parental unit to entertain. My parents were privileged to experience Boston in all its damp-cold-windblown glory this past weekend.

On the surface, Borderlands looks like your standard first-person shooter with a cell-shaded art design. But upon further review, you begin to see role-playing elements that presented in a great way. Borderlands is a unique experience that is heavy with FPS but still stays grounded to its RPG aspects which makes it fun and fresh.

Praise should certainly be awarded to Juergen Kloo, A&S '10, for landing the rights to perform The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee for the Contemporary Theater. Boston College is the first school in Massachusetts to perform the exciting musical, with the rights having just been made available in August. This endearing cult favorite is a great land not only for Contemporary Theater but also for the entire BC community.
What makes Bee resonate so clearly with its audience is its reminder of our own humanity. It features six fifth graders as its main characters. They are all anti-heroes, school misfits who hope to win one chance at glory by out spelling their components. There's Logainne Schwartzandgrubenierr (Shannon DeBari, LSOE '13). She has two overbearing gay fathers, is an equal rights activist in her middle school, and speaks with a lisp.
