Shutter Island Will Keep You Guessing

Shutter Island Will Keep You Guessing

On a final note, I want to say that I think that if you don’t end up liking Shutter Island, then you need to watch it again because you probably just missed something. There are a lot of twists and turns, as well as layers to it, so be ready to pay attention.

Youth In Revolt: Just Another Michael Cera Movie?

Youth In Revolt: Just Another Michael Cera Movie?

This weekend, the new Michael Cera film Youth in Revolt opened in theaters.  The nerdy-looking comedy star came to stardom in roles like Paulie Bleeker in the playful teen pregnancy drama Juno back in 2007 and best friend hipster comedy Superbad in the same year.  However, after his last debacle of a film, Year One, [...]

Vampire Weekend’s Contra Defies Expectations

Vampire Weekend’s Contra Defies Expectations

You could call them indie, experimental or even contra. On January 12, Vampire Weekend dropped their second studio album with XL Recordings entitled Contra.  While there’s been a lot of speculation about who is the girl on the album cover, it’s a mere distraction before you really start listening.
Whenever I hear a song, I like [...]

Selling or Selling Out

Selling or Selling Out

Nothing is worse than crappy music. My generation has yet to produce anything worthy of being called legendary.  Granted, it is mostly the fault of record labels and their “hit singles” format that dominates the direction artists go with their music.

DJ Hero: The Ultimate Party Game

A girls night in turned into a house party the other night when we decided to bust out a friend’s brand new copy of DJ Hero.  It turned into an awesome night of gaming, dancing and kickin’ it like DJs. The system was easy to learn, the graphics creative and, most importantly, the mixes were FANTASTIC!
Just to [...]

Pilobolus: Defying The Laws of Dance

For those of you that missed out on their performances at the Detroit Opera House, you missed out on a true experience. It is like the live band whose studio album does not do them justice. You had to see it to believe it.

Probando El Alma de Detroit

Probando El Alma de Detroit

El domingo estaba muy feliz descansando en mi sofá sin mucho interés de salir y preparada para ver una película que había alquilado el día anteior. Todo parecía ser un domingo cualquiera pero entonces mi esposo me dijo que había un evento en Detroit en la plaza Hart. La verdad mi cuerpo me pedía seguir [...]

Un Detroit que me esperaba

Un Detroit que me esperaba

El sábado pasado fuí invitada por mi amiga Gina al festival Concert of Colors en Detroit. Ella estaba feliz de asistir a este evento. Sin embargo, yo dudaba de encontrar un festival interesante. Siendo honesta mi visión de la ciudad de Detroit era poco alentadora pero me sorprendí descubriendo: un Detroit lleno de colores, un [...]
