Fashion is innovation — therefore, it is constantly changing, evolving and often reinventing itself. A style that is popular one day and gone the next is not lost forever. Something you thought was lost can re-emerge on a runway and come back stronger than before.
This spring season is really no exception. For the 2012 spring season you can see all the oldies that you may have once loved and forgotten return and reign.
It has been a long time since the Wii received a good game. Since its release, the Wii has generally been the despair of Nintendo fans as the gaming giant turned its attention to the casual gamer market.
Nintendo, however, is finally getting its act together and releasing the highly-anticipated Xenoblade Chronicles. Originally, North America was not to get the game due to the apparent lack of desire in the North American market for Japanese RPGs. However, when an interview revealing this decision was released, fans took action and a fan campaign to get Xenoblade and several other JRPGs released here was established. Happily, thanks to demand and high sales in Europe, gamers can get their hands on Xenoblade on April 6.
“Anne is loved for her spirit, energy and imagination. She approaches life how other people wish they could.”
This glowing character sketch is given by Linnea Bargen, who plays the lead role of Anne in the upcoming Newman Players version of Anne of Green Gables, opening March 14 at 7 p.m. in the Fr. O’Donnell Auditorium.
Winter is coming all over again this spring. HBO’s hit series Game of Thrones, based on the fantasy novels by George R. R. Martin, is finally coming back April 1.
Fans are as stoked as the fires on the Wall, the 300-mile fortification that runs along the northern border of Game of Thrones’ world, the Seven Kingdoms. Expectations are bound to be high after last season’s shocking twist in the second-to-last episode and the all-too-awesome twist in the final moments of the season finale. (Is it really too early for spoilers?)
A kind of MTV-generation thinking pervades MacHomer. It’s thinking that says to make classic art (like the plays of Shakespeare) relatable to modern audiences, you should throw in some pop-culture references and, voila, you have an easily digestible version ready for the masses to consume.
It seems that Canadian comedian and stage performer Rick Miller subscribes to this sort of thinking, and he really runs with it in MacHomer, a shortened version of Macbeth in which every character is performed as a member of The Simpsons.
Last Friday the Arts and Science Student Union teamed up with CFCR to put on the Assume Talent Show and Competition (Making an Ass of You and Me). It was a night of singing, dancing and great musical talent across the board, from the performers as well as the drunken judges.
Is it possible for a man to be entirely evil?
In many ways this is the question that director Oren Moverman poses in Rampart. It is a question that I still find myself unable to answer. Woody Harrelson’s intense portrayal of corrupt LAPD officer and Vietnam War veteran David Brown does not make it easy to come up with an answer.
SSX, one of the most renowned arcade snowboarding games of all time, returns to your console with plenty of speed, frustration and a ton of dubstep.
The SSX series flourished over the previous decade amid a gaming environment with an intense over-saturation of extreme sports games. That time has passed and EA has revived the series with some pretty strong results.
It has been 100 years since the character first appeared in print, but over that time John Carter of Mars has never made his way to the big screen.
That makes Disney’s upcoming John Carter the first film adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ classic science-fiction adventure novel A Princess of Mars. It follows Civil War veteran John Carter, who finds himself transported to Mars (or Barsoom, as the Martians call it), gains super powers and does battle against a race of 15-foot tall, four-armed barbarians in order to save a princess.
A squad of soldiers storms a compound in the midst of an Eastern European urban landscape. The city is torn apart, blasted to pieces by mortar rounds. Bullets fly through the air and the soldiers are hesitant to move forward, but their commander urges them on into the fray.
This doesn’t sound like a scene from a Shakespeare play, but that’s exactly what it is in Ralph Fiennes’ updated version of the lesser-known Shakespearean tragedy Coriolanus.
