Manteresting' site brings man-cave to the Web

Every red-blooded guy out there has dreams of creating his very own man-cave fully equipped with an Xbox, endless supply of Chee­tos, surround-sound speakers and televisions running "SportsCen­ter" or "Rambo" every hour. "Man-cave" was the first word that came to mind when I checked out the new website Manteresting.com, a sanctuary made especially for men's interests.

Cheap Eats

As college students, we are always looking for more bang for our buck.

We asked around and in some cases used our best judgment, but here are our choices for the best cheap eats around in the South Orange and Maplewood area!

Watching 'Scary Movie 5' is a frightful experience

What is scary about "Scary Movie 5" is that people actually thought it would be a good idea to make it. Though a satire of hor­ror movies, the film is hardly ever funny. In fact, its most effective jokes are at best capable of draw­ing mildly irritated smirks from audience members, but certainly not laughs. While the "Scary Movie" franchise could never be considered exemplary filmmak­ing, its fifth installment is by far the worst.

New ABC sitcom fails to engage viewers

ABC's new sitcom, "How to Live With Your Parents (For the Rest of Your Life)" is not believable, entertaining or even that engaging but it really does bring up the question of what stu­dents really do after they graduate.

The 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards brought the south to Las Vegas on April 7. Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan hosted the evening, and seeing as the two country stars are self-declared funny guys, it was a night of pure entertainment. Shelton and Bryan are good friends, but that did not stop them from poking fun at each other during the show. The humor was in good taste, however, and the audience loved their brotherly banter.

Orphan Black' is unlike any other show

"Orphan Black" is a show about clones, but you wouldn't know that from the first episode. In fact, unless you've seen the commer­cials or read the advanced reviews for the new series, you wouldn't even realize that it's science fic­tion. And that's what makes "Or­phan Black" so intriguing. Judg­ing from the pilot, the series is poised to be unpredictable, with twists in every episode. BBC America's second original series certainly looks to be a good one.
