Welcome to the official, independent student-run newspaper of Hofstra University!
"Brand New Eyes," is the newest effort by Paramore, a female fronted pop act that walk the tenuous line between stealing New Found Glory riffs and stealing Maroon 5 riffs. Their newest album attempts to craft something original, which they do, albeit boring.
Ever wonder what would happen if Jeffrey Dahmer could sing? Or if Ed Gein could juggle? Or if Adolf Hitler could paint? The notion of violent psychopaths getting the opportunity to express themselves has been done in the past, but Nicolas Winding-Refn's film "Bronson," takes it a step further and literally turns this particular lunatic into a living, breathing art project.
Dr. William McBrien, an English professor at the University from 1967 until his retirement in 1998, died Saturday, October 10 after a battle with blood cancer.
The biggest stars currently on Broadway are not American.
True, on the one hand, you have Bill Pullman and Julia Stiles in "Oleanna," and the terrific foursome of "God of Carnage," Hope Davis, Jeff Daniels, James Gandolfini and Marcia Gay Harden. But on the other, you have the British crowd: Jude Law, Sienna Miller and Daniel Craig (with Hugh Jackman, an Aussie, thrown in for good measure).
You may think the chocolate-chip scones offered at "Pura Vida" are the only UK influence in your life right now, but you are greatly mistaken. Rising in recognition, a movement known as transatlanticism describes an integration of English culture resounding on the daily. Ranging anywhere from the 1960's hit "I Want to Hold Your Hand" to Wham!'s "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go," a long line of foreign tunes are marked among the greatest of US nostalgia.
Unlike last year, when a force of femme-pilots in bomber jackets raided the Hermes' runway, John Paul Gaultier designed this year's collection from a more conservative and clean theme, a Wimbledon match.
Baby, its cold outside… but that doesn't mean you can't stay toasty and look cute! Try one of the following looks for the upcoming winter months:
For her 2010 collection, designer Sophia Kokosalaki displayed an approachable version of "wearable art" that proved to be appropriate for the current time of economic downturn.
For most Long Islanders, the idea of saddling up in wooden booths and listening to country music while chowing down on some of the south's finest fried cuisine isn't exactly part of the plan for any day of the week. As someone who has been living in New York for the past three years of my life, I can understand the appeal of Italian comfort food over below-the-Mason-Dixon-line eats.
Estabrook bathrooms may seem like a dangerous place on campus, but I assure you it is nowhere as dangerous as the Wellness Center. Whereas the dangers of Estabrook are purely fictitious, all the threat in the Wellness Center is real.
What happens when you cross a priest, a ghost, and Todd McFarlane? The short story is, you sell a whole lot of comics. Image Comic's new series, "Haunt," barely had time to spook the shelves before hungry fans excited to get in on the series snatched it up. Stores preordered an estimated 60,000 copies, an unheard of amount for a first issue, and by the next day, even local Long Island comic locale Amok Time had sold every last copy.
For "Nip/Tuck", one of cable TV's most controversial programs, the worst thing about having a brilliant first season was having a brilliant first season. "Nip/Tuck" creator, Ryan Murphy, set the bar awfully high for himself after the first season, with the lurid sexuality, enthralling gruesomeness of plastic surgery, and, most of all, the originality of the characters—plastic surgeons Sean McNamara and Christian Troy— and premises winning him a Golden Globe for Best Drama series in 2004.
Donald Everett Axinn, trustee emeritus of the Hofstra University Board of Trustees and former Associate Dean of Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, died Tuesday, October 13.
The Chronicle: Can you start off by giving me a short synopsis as to what your new documentary, "Dear Jack" is about?
High pitched shrieks, braces, and 6,000 people all add up to one night at Hofstra: Justin Bieber's concert for 92.3 NOW FM. Youtube artist Justin Bieber is a mere 15 years old and performed in front of a sold out show on October 9th in the Hofstra Dome.
While the Epitaph tour brought its hurricane through Long Island's famous Crazy Donkey this past Monday, Keith Buckley, singer of Every Time I Die sat down with me a few hours prior, like a calm before the storm, answering a plethora of questions, and showing himself to be one of the humblest and most humorous veterans of not only the hardcore scene, but any scene.
Do you have a strong commitment to protecting the environment? You can have more fun being green by participating in programs or purchasing products from certain cosmetic and beauty lines that are organic and eco-friendly. Here are some tips:
Last year, Balmain's Christophe Decarnin designed pricey jackets and costly jeans (think upwards to $12,000). This year, Decarnin, reproduced a collection with the same fundamentals: an edgy femme fatale empowered with sharp shoulder pads and heeled military boots.
If the last bakery you walked in to didn't make you feel like you were about to go into diabetic shock from all the sweetness, then you're going to the wrong bakeries. When I go into a bakery, I expect to be overwhelmed by the amount of cakes, pastries, cookies and other sweet treats available to me, and Dortoni Bakery and Pastry Shoppe in Levittown was no exception.
Anyone who has seen me walking around campus has more than likely not noticed anything different about me. I appear to be a healthy, normal, and perhaps somewhat energetic girl. However, this could not be any further from the truth.
