Changes on the Horizon for USF Football

The last two USF football seasons have been somewhat of a rollercoaster ride, both in an emotional and logistical sense. The Bulls and their fans have experienced utter jubilation because of wins over Auburn and West Virginia in 2007 that put the program in the national spotlight for the first time in its short history. They [...]

Alone Awareness

There are probably more of us who do not lead the ultra-social lifestyle that involves constant party-hopping and exceeding texting limits three times over. I’d like to think that reassurance of one’s self does not have to involve trying to meet the needs of acceptance through being a socialite – and I’m not saying that [...]

The Reviewer: “Coraline” in 3D

Modernity does not exist without its past. Like only the best animated features, “Coraline” masks the sage wisdom you’d expect from a classic novel by delivering an aesthetic feast for the eyes. Experimental colors, shapes and sounds serenade your visual attention as you surprise yourself in realizing the message of the film shines just [...]

In 2003 the BBC broadcasted a series called “The Big Read” where viewers voted for the 100 greatest books of all time. Most of the books sound familiar as many of them seem to be required reading in school or have had successful movies based off of them. The top 21 contains many famous and [...]

Islands of Adventure

Many Floridians forget what types of fun and excitement can be found in their own back yard. During these tough economic times, it is hard to financially plan for vacations to spots like the Grand Canyon or Niagara Falls.
However, the diversity in Florida makes it easy for us to get away for a weekend, fairly [...]

A-Rod nabbed as baseball’s biggest name in steroid era

It’s ironic how 10 years ago, the one aspect of the game that was supposed to save baseball has been, for the last six years, the same thing that has destroyed it. But even more true, the irony of the situation is sad. Players today live by the homerun and die by it too. Just [...]

Visting Your Favorite T.V. Shows From the Past

Sitting at my desk I flip through the channels and come across a T.V. show that was a favorite for some: 90201. The signature intro music that has that early 90s guitar riff grabs my attention. After wasting and hour, sometimes half a day rekindling the T.V. shows of my past I realize how good [...]

The Reviewer: “The Reader”

“The Reader” offers the modern audience a glimpse at a story resembling the tragedies of Ancient Greece. Viewers will find themselves surprised, appalled, delighted and frightened all at the same time. Be prepared to express the most sympathy and empathy for Kate Winslet’s character, Hanna Schmitz, a guard for the Nazis. You’ll ask yourself, how [...]

New In Town

First and foremost, anyone who knows about the overuse of the Papyrus font would want to gouge their eyes out when the beginning titles of “New in Town” blink on the screen.
Thankfully, the film’s plot made up for the typography cliché. With perfect connections between Minnesotan accents and the effects of sub-zero temperatures on [...]
