Beach Fossils live, what a pleasure
Though much of their show wasn’t unusually impressive, Beach Fossils showed off their incredible musical talent at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston. The guitar-heavy songs roused the crowd and made for an overall great concert.
An interview with the Boston Student Film Festival
The overarching objective is to create something more than just a film festival
Oath Pizza’s new mindful menu is delicious and unique
Overall, we liked the food — while some pizzas lacked novelty, most of them tasted great, and the Spicy Hawaiian pizza is a must-try. The staff was extremely friendly and went above and beyond to accommodate our dietary restrictions. And best of all, with the imminent onset of spring semester meal plans, remember that Oath accepts dining dollars!
Four women; four stories
Each artist shared their struggles, triumphs, and vulnerabilities with the audience through poems, songs, and narration. The highly relatable medium of storytelling made for a highly personal experience.
‘Dolittle’ does little to impress but entertains nonetheless
Take “Dolittle” for what it is at face value, and don’t put too much thought into it.
Construction for dummies
Featuring level after level of construction- based madness, ‘Tools Up!’ is a game that accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do: provide a fun, wild, and wacky couch co-op experience.
The adventures of Omelette and the gang
Had the acting been bad, this show would have been downright painful to sit through, but instead, it was delightful and hilarious thanks to the incredible skill of the ASP actors.
‘CATS’: hilarious, if you’re delirious
The CGI effects are extremely disturbing and outweigh the merits of the film. This movie is highly eccentric and disconcerting, the stuff of delirious nightmares… but it’s something you might find funny if you’re hysterical at 3 a.m.
In the belly of the whale
In the spirit of the novel it’s based on, this musical, organized into four parts, packs in an absolute bonanza of bizarre and beautiful things into a 3.5-hour multi-genre extravaganza.
God’s Rottweiler meets God’s Labrador
The centerpiece of the film is a series of sometimes heated, sometimes touching tête-a-têtes between the two seminarians. The spotlight is trained on Bergoglio, the “lowly but chosen” Argentinian bishop and our current Pope, whose life story we are privy to through a series of flashbacks.
‘Little Joe’ incites little horror
When I finished 'Little Joe,' I thought about all that the film could have been. Emily Beecham delivers a spectacular performance; what a shame that the movie as a whole could not achieve that same level of subtlety.
Whack, dash, die, upgrade, repeat
Inspired by the ‘Legend of Zelda’ franchise, ‘Sparklite’ is an adorable and fun addition to the roguelike genre. The developers had the idea of framing it as an “approachable roguelike,” taking inspiration from ‘Rogue Legacy’ in the game’s mechanics and fitting the game onto an adventure story-based premise.
Goofs and ghosts galore
With a strong emphasis on theme and visuals, ‘Luigi’s Mansion 3’ offers a puzzle-filled action adventure which starts out strong, but it loses some shine along the way.
‘The Iliad’ according to your bitter, well-oiled uncle
Pulling off a two-hour one-man show is no mean feat, requiring endurance, a compelling character and/or a killer storyline. When the storyline is one of the most familiar in existence, every other aspect of the production needs to pull its weight.
Submerged into the depths of heartache
Overflowing with artistic flare and emotion, ‘Waves’ follows the life-changing experiences of an African-American family struggling to find themselves in an overwhelming world.
I really need this job!
Who am I anyway? Am I my resume? I need this job, oh God, I need this show!
Unlikely heroes
An exhilarating and unexpectedly insightful glimpse into a hidden moment in racing history, ‘Ford v. Ferrari’ captures the excitement of racing and the lives of the people with the passion to fuel this sport.
‘Doctor Sleep’ might just put you to bed
Torn between paying lip service to Kubrick and wrapping up Stephen King’s saga about the Torrance family, Mike Flanagan makes a film that’s neither a satisfactory follow-up to ‘The Shining’ nor a particularly compelling horror film.
How to dupe a queen
A queen finds herself powerless, an orphan finds herself a duchess, and someone finds themselves without a head. Odyssey Opera’s revival of Pacini’s Tudor drama is an unexpected musical delight further enhanced by tasteful staging.
‘Marriage Story’ is beautifully heartbreaking
Noah Baumbach is completely unapologetic as he tears down what was once a picturesque marriage.
