Never was a more unexpected duo of guest stars than this week’s Better With You combo of Derek Hough and Larry King. The young, impossibly cool professional dancer appeared as an instructor trying to help Casey and Mia prepare for the first dance at their wedding. The fun story about Casey hiding all his […]

If there’s one thing you learn from American Idol it’s that song selection is everything (and that Steven Tyler is a god). That rule has never been more true than for this week’s episode of Glee. “Born This Way” had some meaningful moments (here’s looking at you Santana!) and some trite ones (sorry Quinn, when […]
After falling behind at the worst possible time (in a U turn leg right after a non-elimination leg), one of the best teams in Amazing Race history was eliminated tonight leaving a final group of unexpected racers. There was no way, going into this season, I would have expected a final grouping that didn’t include […]
BU On Broadway’s Sweeney Todd premiered last night and will continue all weekend in the Tsai Performance Centre at 8pm. The production was a breath of fresh air in BU theatre as it united some of the school’s absolute brightest talents against the backdrop of a challenging and entertaining piece from Stephen Sondheim.

I have been obsessed with The Hunger Games since I first sunk into Katniss’s world. Over on My Bookshelf, I waxed poetic about how the series helped me recapture that Harry Potter, so eager in anticipation magic. So I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to comment on the casting of the scary-as-hell, god-i-pray-they-harry-potter-it-and-not-golden-compass-it movie […]
