Movie series that spin out of control are generally groan-worthy, no matter how much you like the original film or enjoy its subsequent sequels. I, for one, love watching Captain Jack Sparrow and his antics, but when I heard about the fourth film I wanted to beat my head against the wall. The Iron Man […]

Beloved punk-chef and professional food snob Anthony Bourdain has revamped No Reservations for CNN this season as Parts Unknown, but I’ve got a few reservations.

This weekend is all about original productions—and it’s also definitely a weekend to support your creative peers. The most wonderful part of student-produced work is that even if a scene doesn’t work, you are able to appreciate the immense amount of hard work that went into putting up the show in the first place.

I am no stranger to Armando Ianucci’s work; from The Thick of It (UK) to its spin-off feature […]
