Don't 'Sabatoge' your plans with this movie

The level of testosterone and the macho attitudes, combined with a poorly written script, makes the new movie "Sabotage" absolutely awful.

Tyler Perry more serious in new film

Tyler Perry puts away the fat suit, dress, and makeup that created the dramatic character Madea in his newly released movie, "The Single Moms Club". Perry casts five divorced, empowered, and diverse women who endure the struggles of motherhood who come from different social and economic backgrounds and all have one thing in common: they need emotional support as they deal with single parenthood.

Crisis' is anything but

If your parents were some of the most affluent and powerful people in the country, would they risk it all if your safety was compromised? NBC finally delivered a powerful and captivating new drama Sunday, March 16 at 10 p.m., after various new series quickly made it to the cut list after only a few episodes (wink, wink "Do No Harm"). "Crisis" is an enthralling, action-packed, and highly questionable new series that I hope stays around as I had more questions than I thought I would have after viewing the pilot episode.

Bad words from a good man

Can you imagine a less charming figure than a grown man who bullies children, makes brash remarks at them, and who wants nothing more than to defeat them competitively? Probably not, yet somehow in his directorial debut, Jason Bateman ("Arrested Development", "Horrible Bosses") makes this character the hilarious hero in "Bad Words", which hit theatres March 21.

Is it formally spring yet?

Spring formal season is slowly approaching and that means a scramble for the perfect outfit! Due to the steep price of formal, many girls look for deals concerning their dresses. Forever21, Tobi, Charlotte Russe and sometimes Macy's are safe bets to find a cheap, but stylish gown. To be really thrifty, girls may even look to their sisters to borrow dresses.

Students 'entertained' by faculty talents

The Third Annual Faculty Talent Show, sponsored by the College of Arts and Sciences as well as the College of Education and Human Services, took place in the Pirates Cove on Thursday, March 20. Students were entertained for the night by a series of performances put on by many of their exceptionally talented professors. Past shows have featured many faculty members from the university presenting anything from comedy routines to even singing opera. In addition to the entertainment, all the proceeds from the event go to a charity in need.

Divergent' in different direction than novel

Popular books have always served as inspiration for movies. The idea of finally experiencing the many words, concepts, revelations, and "AHA!" moments fleshed out on screen brings mass attention not only from die-hard fans, but people who may need to see the movie prior to reading the book or those who are too busy or lazy to read the book. And as this long-standing tradition continues, it was only a matter of time before the hit book trilogy "Divergent" would take to mass media entertainments worldwide.

Students strategize to create perfect schedules

Making a good schedule can make or break your semester. With registration rapidly approaching, students are getting ready for the hectic time in hopes of getting the classes they so desperately want and are trying not to get too stressed while doing it.

GrooveBoston staff customizes show for unique SHU experience

Bright clothes, dark room, neon lights, loud music and two rocking DJs on stage. The pervasive energy throughout the room urges the crowd to jump to the beat with their hands in the air, making all the foot-stepping and accidental elbowing worthwhile.

Resurrection' tests faith and logic

What if someone close to you that passed away just showed up at your doorstep alive, but not in zombie form, and looked just as they did after years of being gone? After much hype, the brand new family drama series "Resurrection" hit television screens on March 9 on ABC, and makes that a reality.

Fan-funded film has broad appeal

Less than a year after the Kickstarter campaign for a "Veronica Mars" movie started, the film came to life to the joy of its fans. More than doubling the amount the project hoped to raise, fans showed their dedication to the project early on and saw their money's use when the film came to theaters March 14.

Need for Speed' pleases action seekers

Based on one the most successful racing video game franchises today, the stunt-heavy, action-packed "Need for Speed" debuted in theaters March 14. This latest manifestation of America's love for muscle cars and the open road must be taken at face value in order to be enjoyed. There isn't more substance to this film than the car chases, explosions and action for action's sake.

String quartet to put unique spin on pop songs

What do Mozart and Lady Gaga have in common? More than you would think. At least, that's what Well-Strung has been demonstrating. Since forming in 2012, the string quartet has developed an impressive following, performing classical takes on modern pop music. In fact, their act is so popular first violinist Edmund Bagnell, second violinist Christopher Marchant, violist Trevor Wadleigh and cellist Daniel Shevlin have played all over the world, including a recent appearance on the "Today" show.

Spring into fashion
