Summertime movie releases

By Staff Writer | May 3

Brave By: Tiffany Do This year's Pixar summer film "Brave" features a gutsy fireball of a princess out to save her kingdom from a disaster she brought upon herself. Set in a magical Scotland, Princess Merida, voiced by Kelly Macdonald, defies the typical princess stereotype. Instead of looking for a suitor, she runs around with a bow and arrow and an adventurous spirit. In the midst of trying to change her restricting fate of being part of a boring, "perfect" family, this Scottish Mulan brings a curse to the kingdom and is forced to undo the malady. Pixar-lovers every-where can expect the usual outstanding animation, witty dialogue and captivating storyline.

By Staff Writer | May 3

Melody & Tyler album lacks excitement

By Tiffany Do | May 3

Melody & Tyler's first full-length album, "Breaking and Bending," is both soothing and spine-tingling. The Utah-based duet mixes el­ements of pop and country with all the good­ness of acoustic rock to present a compilation of heart-wrenching songs.

Summertime music releases

By Staff Writer | May 3

Maroon 5 By: Patrice Kubik For being "Overexposed," Maroon 5 have not revealed much about their new album, which is slated to release June 26. The band's first single from the album, "Payphone" featuring Wiz Khalifa, hit the radio last month, and if it is any indication of what is to come, fans can look forward to a slightly different sound than they're used to. Over the past year, with popular releases like "Moves Like Jagger" featuring Christina Aguilera and "Stereo Hearts" with Gym Class Heroes, Maroon 5 has been moving away from the alternative genre to a younger, pop (and occasionally hip-hop) sound. With a fun and fresh sound, "Overexposed" is sure to be a summer hit.

Tribeca's 'Babygirl' is an incoherent mess

By Staff Writer | May 3

Teenage love is a strange and confusing thing, and even more so when your mother's deadbeat boyfriend wants to date you. That's the problem facing Lena, a 16-year-old girl living in the Bronx. Lena is older than her years: she is often the more responsible one, picking up the pieces after Victor, her mom's latest flame, starts moving in on Lena. The film has the opportunity to take a particularly chilling and awkward situation and make a powerful family drama, but "Babygirl" falls flat. The charac­ters make unrealistic decisions that don't agree with their personality. Yainis Ynoa, as Lena, shows prom­ise, but the script never tells her what her character really wants, so she gets lost in the plot. Lena swears she will teach Victor a lesson, but then she ends up falling in and out of love with him.

The Avengers

By Staff Writer | April 26

After four years, five movies and millions of dollars at the box office, The Avengers have finally assembled. For the first time in history, a single film will see the teaming of superheroes from multiple different franchises. Starring Robert Downey Jr., Samuel L. Jackson and a host of other A-list actors, "The Avengers" certainly is one of the most anticipated blockbusters of the summer.
