For Her:

Do no Harm' does more bad than good in premiere

Having the lowest-rated season premiere of a scripted program in network television history certainly seems to have harmed the chances of "Do No Harm" remaining on the air. Then again, even without that dubi­ous distinction its doubtful the new series would have lasted more than a year any­way. While its entertaining and intriguing, the show lacks the necessary logic to make its story believable.

Two new doctor shows added to nighttime TV

Two new doctor shows were added to network lineups this week, adding to an already medically filled television collection. NBC's "Do No Harm" and TNT's "Monday Mornings" each offer a glimpse into the world of two very different hospitals.

Unknown Mortal Orchestra releases new album

When it comes to the formation of a band, especially for independent music, Unknown Mortal Orchestra did not take the usual route. Front man Ruban Nielson dropped a single track on an anonymous Bandcamp profile with inadequate information and eventually claimed the track as UMO's. Despite their interesting start, the band's new album, "II," proves that they are on the right track.

"Heartthrob" beats for all

SHU sounds off: e-Readers vs. Textbooks

New technologies are not just a part of life in the 21st century but they have come to define our generation. Advancements in technology have affected how we socialize, conduct business, communicate and even how we educate. In the past few years, digital books on e-readers and tablets like iPads, Kindles and Nooks have been introduced as ways for college students to replace physical textbooks.

Catfish reels in viewers' attention

Whether or not the show Catfish is something you look forward to every Monday or something you scoff at when it is the only thing on TV, it is hard to argue that the show is not attention-grabbing and fascinating.

"The Diviners" defies young-adult genre

While there's no denying that the young-adult genre is over-saturated with books written in first-person, boasting no-nonsense heroines, and a bleak futuristic so­ciety. Libba Bray's latest series, "The Diviners," does not conform to common molds.

High hopes for 2013 movie releases

With the Academy Awards less than a month away, it's common for people to frantically race to see every movie nominated for Best Picture. But even if you have already seen all of the nominees or perhaps are more in­clined to watch a cheesy thriller or chick-flick, you do not have to worry; there are a variety of exit­ing films to look forward to seeing this year.

Broken City' proves to be a broken film

I don't know much about screen­writer Brian Tucker, but after viewing his debut feature "Bro­ken City," I can infer that he has obviously seen a lot of noir films. The movie is an accumulation of genre clich?©s pieced together in a haphazard, head-scratching fash­ion. From the convoluted cover-ups to the over-the-top villainous politician to the down-on-his-luck, good-hearted private detec­tive who unwillingly becomes entwined in scandal but vows to make things right. Although "Broken City" possesses all the usual elements of a murder mys­tery it lacks the common sense of a believable story.

The Taste' is a fresh take on cuilinary television

Imagine your future depends on one piv­otal moment: one spoonful of a dish you created. The success of that moment will be judged in the hands of four world renowned chefs who will test your creation without knowing what it is or who cooked it. Con­testants on ABC's new culinary showdown, "The Taste," which premiered on Jan. 22, will go through this heart-stopping moment each week.

Resolve to keep your goals

At the start of every new year we all scurry to create the perfect resolution. Most people pledge to hit the gym more, which explains the influx of students at the rec center in January, and others claim they will manage their time better. There are certain resolutions that we just expect people to have because they are the same ones every year, but creating a goal for the new year can be more creative than just hoping to be more organized. As college students we have the opportunity to create goals specific to our time at Seton Hall. Why not resolve to get a certain G.P.A or study a certain amount of hours each day? Our staff has provided some of their resolutions below and we have included a guide to making the best goal for yourself in 2013.
