The Setonian's guide to NYC

By Staff Writer | September 12

Located just 14 miles outside of New York City, Seton Hall University prides itself on providing "students with the best of both worlds," according to the schools website. While many students are familiar with NYC, some never had the chance to attend until coming to college, and, understand­ably, can be slightly overwhelmed at the thought of exploring the Big Apple. So, to encourage people to take the trek down to the South Orange train station and adventure out into the Big Apple, here is your ultimate guide to NYC courtesy of Pirate Life:

By Staff Writer | September 5

As students made their way back to cam­pus to begin the fall semester, the buzz about Dunkin' Donuts' new presence was undeni­able, but it was not only Seton Hall that got a summer upgrade. Love & Yogurt is South Orange's newest addition to its bustling downtown area. It opened across from Vil­lage Plaza on South Orange Avenue in July.

Exorcist'-inspired film lacks logical plot

By Staff Writer | September 5

As many other horror movies have been in the past, "The Possession" was undoubtedly inspired by "The Exorcist." The film features a young girl inhabited by an evil spirit, similar plot points, and even a movie poster paying direct homage to the 1973 horror classic. The real question is whether it lived up to its predecessor. The simple answer is no, not by a long shot. Still, "The Possession" is a decent film for anyone looking for a frightfully good time.

"Spider-man" reboot 'amazes' audience

By Staff Writer | July 4

"The Amazing Spider-Man" is not just the first film in a new series about the iconic superhero - rather, it marks the beginning of a whole new cinematic era for the character. Though only five years have passed since the original trilogy, the Spider-Man reboot takes the hero in an entirely different direction, exploring more interesting interpretations of the characters and weaving complex and engaging storylines. Still, the movie never departs from the central themes of the comics, maintaining the ideals of responsibility, family, and sacrifice that originally made people connect to the character.

"Prometheus:" A Modern Day Sci-Fi Classic

By Staff Writer | June 11

What would today's cinema be like without "Alien"? The 1979 film certainly reinvented the science fiction genre, paving the way for suspenseful yet intriguing movies such as "Jurassic Park" and "Avatar." It also jump-started the career of director Ridley Scott, who went on to make classics like "Blade Runner" and "Gladiator." Yes, "Alien" certainly is an important film, which is why a prequel helmed by Scott himself should be a must-see. "Prometheus" easily could have flopped, but it instead proved to be a splendid mix of mystery, fright, and action very much on par with the director's original film.

"The Dark Knight Rises," and So Will Theater Attendance

By Staff Writer | June 6

More than any other director, Christopher Nolan has made the superhero movie into an art form. With his films "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight," Nolan managed to use the larger-than-life characters of the Batman franchise to produce compelling commentaries on real issues like vengeance and greed. The conclusion to his Batman trilogy, "The Dark Knight Rises," is sure to be a box office smash when it opens on July 20. It certainly is one of the most anticipated movies of the summer.

The Men in Black are Back

By Staff Writer | May 26

The original "Men in Black" was a truly remarkable film that managed to blur the lines between science fiction and comedy, in the process propelling the movie career of Will Smith and cementing Tommy Lee Jones's legacy as a Hollywood icon. Its sequel, "Men in Black II," proved to be an absolutely dismal failure, and it's unfortunate that neuralyzers could not really exist to wipe that flop from memory. "Men in Black 3" very easily could have been just as bad, but the third installment happily lives up to the high standard set by the first film. While by no means superior, "Men in Black 3" does recapture the magic of the original and serves as a satisfying continuation of the series.
