Beauty is only skin deep in ‘Solo’
‘Solo,’ the newest entry in the Star Wars saga, came with high hopes following after the previous stand-alone entry, ‘Rogue One,’ but falls short of every expectation aside from its stunning cinematography.
A story of stories
The performers might be superstars, but they are live people just like the audience, with stories behind their success. From Post Malone to Halsey to Khalid, every young performer repeated the same tale: be your own self, and keep chasing your dreams. Perhaps that’s why these festivals are so popular: because they tell us to carry on, and because they show us people’s dreams truly have no end.
‘We’ll walk this road together, through the storm / Whatever weather, cold or warm’
Boston Calling invites Boston and Cambridge to join a weekend music celebration with incredible headliners each night and numerous performing artists throughout the day. What's not to love?
‘Luck’s not a real superpower!’
In this sequel to the first ‘Deadpool,’ the infamous merc with a mouth pulls together the X-Force in order to protect a young mutant boy from the dangers of Cable, a time-traveling cyborg.
Apocalyptic snakes and warring animal clans
Legend has it that when the world is nearing its final demise, the Harbinger will appear and prevent its end. In 'Omensight,' you play as this supernatural last resort. The death of the Godless Priestess means the loss of the only power keeping back the dark forces of the Void, and when you’re thrown into the game, the Void incarnate, Volden, has already been summoned to devour the world.
Three modes of George Balanchine
Ballet has never been the same since George Balanchine quickened, illuminated, and transformed the artform. Now experience an evening starting from one of his earliest choreographed works to one of his later performances.
The end is near
If anything, these three episodes are about shedding characters from the past four seasons and moving them around to where they can move the company forward. A great deal of plot occurs in these three episodes to place people where they want to be. As we close off this season, I cannot help but feel the end is near.
‘Breaking In’ fails to meet potential
The group seemed to be struggling more than Shaun did, which the audience knew and laughed at.
Hyperlinking through the museum
Just as their combinations started to tire however, the door to the theatre opened, permitting a glimmer of music and lights to waft in from the outside. My curiosity was piqued as the audience began thinning, with members of the ICA crew using makeshift wheelbarrows to casually cart them away to this mystery performance outside. With a mild frisson, I wondered when I might be picked off too.
Veggies with style
Fast, casual, vegan food for ~$10-15 per meal opens on Mass Ave.
Mean ghouls
The game that will make you relive the most horrific and most terrifying experience of your life: high school prom.
All that’s left
Two men stand in front of a ruined synagogue as bombs go off in the background. They are the last two Jews in the city with their entire religion resting on their shoulders. But it’s a comedy.
Humanity without its core
Wayne McGregor’s genre of choreography is most often referred to as contemporary ballet, but he himself has never been trained in ballet, and instead traces his roots back to ballroom dancing and disco. His movements know no bounds, with limbs wending through the air as if having a mind of their own, and dancers flowing into and around one another as if unable to grasp the concept of tangible matter.
Parties and politics
Dance like the world will end tomorrow. Drink as though there isn’t a bottom of the cup. Hook up with as many girls as possible. These are the things that’ll define your Greek life.
When the government can take your land without good reason
Based on true events, Little Pink House succinctly and intelligently chronicles the fight one Connecticut woman undertakes to save her house from greedy political and corporate interests. However, while the plot holds sufficient drama, director Courtney Moorehead Balaker fails to effectively translate it to the big screen.
A harmony of contrasts and clashes
At Cambridge’s local concert venue The Lilypad, the trio Steve McGinnis, Art Lande and Steve Swallow hosted a night of live jazz, where their three improvisations and three compositions reminded us of the magic of music in a live, intimate concert.
Like spillover happiness from a forgotten dream
On our way back from the concert, we found ourselves humming the melody from the last song. The final moments stayed with us long after the concert was over, like the spillover happiness from a beautiful dream that makes one happy for no apparent reason.
How hard is saving the world?
This is a superhero movie that breaks all expectations while abiding by every formula of making a good movie. With the intense feeling that kept me glued to the seats for a while even after the movie was over, I could tell that this movie might change the landscape of comic-book inspired movies as we know it.
Are we real or simply made of code?
So sure are you of your reality? This production reveals the likelihood — and failings — of highly detailed simulations.
