Do no Harm' does more bad than good in premiere
By Staff Writer | February 7Having 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.

Catfish reels in viewers' attention
By Staff Writer | January 31Whether 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

Broken City' proves to be a broken film
By Staff Writer | January 23I 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.

Resolve to keep your goals
By Staff Writer | January 23At 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.
