It’s currently 37 degrees Fahrenheit on Wednesday April 3, 2013 as I struggle to come up with a topic for this week. The suites are not well insulated so I’m forced to bundle up while sitting on my love couch. Remember this past Saturday when it got up to record high of 52 degrees and [...]
Dear Dub, If both parties are drunk, can one still be accused of rape? This is a loaded question. The answer depends on what state (for us, New York State) you’re in, the age of the parties involved, their state of inebriation, each other’s consciousness of the other’s state of inebriation, and their [...]
By CHRIS MELVILLE COLUMNIST Remember a few weeks back when I reviewed Oldboy in anticipationof Stoker because all of the advertisements for Stoker seemed to recommend that I try Oldboy, and then I did try Oldboy and I had a minor freak out, but decided in the end that I still wanted to watch Stoker?

Oh, that’s awkward. I’m going to tell you anyway. 4. Little Green Cars To be completley honest, I included Little Green Cars after [...]
By CHRIS MELVILLE COLUMNIST I’m getting a little redundant this week, I’m afraid. I know I talked briefly about this film in my Top 5 article, but it really warrants a full review… also I haven’t watched a movie in a little while. I’ve been busy; what can I say? Beasts of the Southern Wild [...]
By RICHARD BOHAN A&E EDITOR This week’s music column is partly a single review and partly a look at the latest craze sweeping the Internet… The upsurge of Harlem Shake videos staged in American universities have made me wonder— when will it be SLU’s turn? Well, there was a SLU Harlem Shake, until it was [...]
By CHRIS MELVILLE COLUMNIST Zero Dark Thirty (2013) The Plot: Osama bin Laden. Director Kathryn Bigelow once again teams up with writer Mark Boal (both of whom won Oscars for their masterpiece The Hurt Locker) to tell us the story of how the CIA tracked down and (spoiler?) finally eliminated Osama bin Laden over the [...]
By RICHARD BOHAN A&E EDITOR I will be the first to admit that I’ve never heard of Tegan and Sara before listening to their latest record, Heartthrob. And I’m kind of glad I didn’t.
