The Reel World: New York

I hold firm the belief that any college student can look at the poster of “Frances Ha”(2012) and think, “Yeah, same.” The image of star Greta Gerwig jumping and dancing on a New York street corner with hair flinging every which way, feet ominously positioned to fall down and eyes supremely focused ...

All in good taste: Saus review

Whether in Davis Square or beyond, sometimes it’s refreshing to get a break from Dewick and Carmichael.

Runway Roundup: Revving Up for Season 15

For the uninitiated, "Project Runway" (2004-present) is “on Lifetime, I guess?” The show is in its 15th season and has stacked up an impressive 50 Emmy nominations despite using phrases like “magically muppety” to describe its designers’ work. Some say the task of quantifying such ...

In the land of Hollywood, where all the women are under 40 and all the men under 5'9", movies have always had a more prestigious and glamorous reputation than television. This year’s Emmys, which aired on Sunday, showed that “the rat-faced people of television” (to quote Amy Poehler at ...

The Reel World: The look

When I arrived at Tufts, I thought of a movie that parallels the point where I am in my life, as I often do. This time, I couldn’t help but recall the ending of “The Kids Are Alright” (2010). The situation, the final goodbye before I enter college, is the same, except I’m not Australian actress Mia Wasikowska, and Annette Bening and Julianne Moore aren't my moms (tragic, I know). Wasikowska’s character Joni watches her family members as they leave, but she quickly turns around. She then looks out at the quad next to her with squinted eyes that soon widen and pursed lips that curl into a fleeting smile.

'Rob and Chyna' unmemorable, disappoints

Once word got out that Rob Kardashian had shacked up with, proposed to and impregnated the ex-wife of his youngest sister’s current boyfriend (it’s fine, don’t worry about it), it would have been borderline irresponsible if E! hadn’t decided to make a spinoff featuring the beautiful parents-to-be. ...
