Posted December 28, 2011 by Jasmine Haefner

Posted December 19, 2011 by Evan Goldaper
Sure, I’m picky about my Sherlock Holmes, but I don’t think you have to be a pretentious scholar of nineteenth-century literature to see that the new Holmes film, Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, is incredibly disappointing. Of course, there’s a lot to like. As always, Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law are fantastic actors. [...]

Posted December 14, 2011 by Jen Novotny
It’s that wonderful time of year again. Finals! If you have time to read this today, either you’re through with the bane of most students’ existences, or you’re procrastinating.
