Music plays a loud role in film

So I saw “12 Years a Slave,” and it was remarkable. You should all see it. It’s beautifully shot and acted, it’s an incredible story, or at least I wish it was incredible, and it’s told as well as any other.

Column: The current BCS rankings could crumble after this week

After recovering from the seemingly boring slate of games that plagued college football in week 10, week 11 is on the way to tantalize you with multiple top 10 matchups and a possible scenario that would spill chaos across the Bowl Championship Series, like Mt. Vesuvius raining fire down on the unsuspecting villagers of Pompeii.

Spontaniety, like gold in ore

Any good instructor will tell you that all writing is born out of planning. It’s a skill every one of your TAs in English class is trying to drill into you right now. And, while planning ahead or mapping out processes are skills that have broad applications, they are particularly pertinent to the practice of writing.

‘Grand Theft Auto’ sales are absurd

Last week, Take-Two Interactive Inc. announced “Grand Theft Auto V” sold 29 million units in the six weeks since its launch. Somehow that’s not a misprint. To put it in perspective, every “Call of Duty” installment has trended toward 20 million or so lifetime sales. “GTA V” eclipsed that in six weeks. My mind exploded when I saw that so as I haphazardly stuff it back together, let’s look at the implications of this mind-boggling number.

The Paris Review has been around since 1953, founded by Harold Humes, George Plimpton and Peter Matthiessen. Over the years, it has published many of the most prominent authors from the 1950s and onward—names along the lines of Jack Kerouac, Vladimir Nabokov, Italo Calvino, Donald Barthelme, Adrienne Rich, etc.

An overplayed franchise isn’t always so bad

Franchise fatigue is usually thrown around among video game players like pizza among the hordes of drunken friends you invited down this past weekend. It’s natural for people to hunger for a new series after playing through the twelfth “Call of Duty.” I’m someone who abhors the concept, and have mostly given up hope for new intellectual properties in the AAA space. If you’re hungering for new experiences check out the indie space, it’s the video game Mecca of innovation right now.

Every year, tens of thousands of people descend upon New York City for a week of industry types hobnobbing around while more than 1,000 mostly below-average bands perform in 80 venues across the city.
