“Orphan Black” is a drama created by Graeme Manson and John Fawcett, and starring Tatiana Maslany. The show airs on BBC, yet is filmed and takes place in Toronto, Canada. “Orphan Black” focuses on the morality of human cloning. This theme is introduced when the protagonist Sarah Manning takes on the identity of a woman she saw commit suicide who looks identical to her. Sarah later finds out the woman is Beth Childs , a police officer, and realizes she is in over her head. Sarah then finds out a truth that will shock her even more: she and Beth are part of a large group of clones.

“Wilder Mind” shapes a new tone for Mumford and Sons

By Ryan Mills
May 4, 2015
Well known Folk band Mumford and Sons released their third album “Wilder Mind” this past Monday. One thing this album brings to fans is variations of either love or hate. “Wilder Mind” brings about a whole new sound for Mumford and Sons. They step away from their banjos and switches to all electric guitars with this album and brought a more Electronic/Rock kind of feel to their music. The band has been seen without their original style, not wearing suspenders, skinny jeans, or leather jackets. For many die heart fans this change is disheartening, putting the Mumford and Sons we have all grown to love at rest and bringing about a new era of the band sounding similar to Radiohead, U2, and/or Coldplay.

“Little Boy” provides viewers with an average theme

By Taylor O'Donnell
April 29, 2015
“Little Boy” is a cute, heartwarming movie that is good for couples looking for a quick movie. The cast was all right, the themes were average, and the plot line had many holes in it. Jakob Salvati, who plays Pepper Busbee, does a pretty good job of acting like an adorable little boy. (Hence the title) He makes the audience really feel happy when he is happy and feel sad when he cries. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Hashimoto, did a good job as well in his supporting role. The themes of the movie were to believe in yourself and anything is possible, willpower is a strong thing, and never giving up. These are fairly common themes seen in many motivational movies. The plot itself was about a little boy, Pepper Busbee, whose father got sent to war. The movie is based around Pepper trying to bring his father home. Pepper was given a list of things to do that would help bring his father back home. Throughout the entire movie, Pepper, with the help of his new friend Hashimoto, is attempting to complete this list.

Restaurant Review: Burnt Toast offers an enjoyable experience to all

By Mawa Iqbal
April 21, 2015
It was the end of our days of relaxation and freedom, so my dad decided to take me and my brother out to Sunday brunch at Burnt Toast. Our highly-anticipated long weekend ended in a high, delicious note. The line, as expected on a Sunday afternoon, stretched past the front doors and into the parking lot. Which is why were shocked when we were told that our wait time was going to be half an hour at the most. I did not believe it at first, but I soon started to realize that we had arrived at the perfect time. Everybody was wrapping up their meal and leaving the restaurant by the time we got our buzzer. It only took 20 minutes until our waitress sat in is a comfy booth right by the bar.

Song of the Week: “Move Along” leaves a sense of inspiration to the finishing school year

By Courtney Thomas
April 21, 2015
[T]he song “Move Along” by the All-American Rejects keeps playing on the radio and I keep wondering why. I think it keeps playing to remind us that school is almost over and all we can do is keep pushing until summer. I know I am struggling to get through the last few weeks of school and for me, the song is an inspiration. “Move Along” was the second single from All-American Rejects’ second studio album. It peaked and number nine on the US Billboard Pop 100 and has had over 20 million views on YouTube. In the midst of all of the stress of the final month of school, move along.
Unfriended leaves audiences questioning many things (Courtesy of www.facebook.com/UnfriendedMovie?fref=ts).

“Unfriended” leaves many unanswered questions

By Joe Rizzo
April 20, 2015
"Unfriended" is not your average horror film. This movie takes place on a computer screen. The audience is literally watching six people cruise the internet, text, post, and Skype to their death. "Unfriended" is a short horror film about cyber- bullying. Teenager Laura Barns commits suicide because of a humiliating video of her wasted at a party. She was hazed, harassed, and bullied until she killed herself.

What to Watch: “Goodfellas” shows the brutality of Americas most feared gang

By Tyler Lopez
April 20, 2015
One of the most fascinating aspect of the United States is its crime. From squabbling small-town gangs to to the brutality of the Bloods and Crips and the all-powerful Italian Mafia. “Goodfellas” is one of the greatest, if not the greatest film, to ever be made that centers on the strength, power and downfall of the most feared gang in American History. Directed by the legendary Martin Scorsese, the film narrates the real-life Lucchese crime family in New York and the life of Henry Hill during his association with the family from 1955 to 1980. Henry Hill (Ray Liotta) grew up in an Irish-Italian neighborhood in East New York, and had always dreamt of being a gangster. At thirteen, Henry quit school and began working for mob capo, or lieutenant, Paul “Paulie” Cicero (Paul Sorvino). He had begun to work as a drug-runner and a courier for the family, finally living his dream. Before long he met Jimmy “Jimmy The Gent” Conway (Robert De Niro) and Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci). The three quickly become close friends. Jimmy was known for his love of hijacking things. Cars,trucks and even planes. If it moved, he would jack it. And he loved it. Tommy was possibly the most violent person in the family. Hot-headed and loud, Tommy had no qualms about killing someone. He, in fact, loved to kill. Together, the three would run various jobs for the family, steal many vehicles, kill many people, steal millions of dollars and further spread the power, and fear, of the Lucchese family.
Now and On Earth album review: Blacked Out

Now and On Earth album review: Blacked Out

By Ryan Mills
April 19, 2015
Now and on Earth is a metalcore band that recently released their new album “Blacked Out." Going into this review, I had never heard of this band before and probably never would have because I do not normally listen to metalcore music. I had many presumptions about that genre of music and this band I had never heard of.

Experience “Riptide” before the overabundance of concerts this summer

By Courtney Thomas
April 14, 2015
“Riptide” by Vance Joy, was released May 21, 2013 on the album “God Loves You When You’re Dancing.” The music video is a video of all of Joy’s metaphors in a literal sense, which makes it so tasteful. Joy, an Australian singer-songwriter, wrote the song as a “coming of age” love story. The song is widely played on radios across the U.S now, and a couple of his other songs are too. “Riptide” was the single that kick-started his career here. Taylor Swift snagged him for her “1989” tour this summer, and he will be opening for her, along with the band Haim. Check out Joy’s “Riptide” and his many other songs before the concert this summer.
