‘Rosencrantz & Guildenstern’ gives killer performances
When you think of Shakespeare’s plays, you immediately think of tragedy and drama, like “Macbeth” and “Romeo and Juliet.” Despite the fact that he wrote some comedies, his tragedies seem to be more well-known. Walking into “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead,” written by Tom Stoppard, the vibe was the complete opposite. This play was an upbeat and funny production and all-around good time to experience.
Indie movie runs home with critic’s acclaim
Get your sneakers ready! “Brittany Runs a Marathon” is an inspiring new comedy written and directed by Paul Downs Colaizzo. The story follows Brittany (Jillian Bell) — a lazy, alcoholic, misguided couch potato and her journey to change her life by participating in the New York Marathon. Both heartfelt and hilarious, Colaizzo assembles a slew of well-rounded, complex characters that shame traditional, one-dimensional comedic stereotypes of years past. Through her new running mates, an unlikely roommate and the disposal of a selfish, long-time friend, Brittany’s new crew aids her in her journey towards self appreciation as she struggles to completely alter her way of life.
Brad Pitt’s space movie sends critics over the moon
On the heels of stellar reviews for his supporting turn as Cliff Booth in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” Brad Pitt has come back to the silver screen for the second time this year in James Gray’s “Ad Astra.” The science fiction drama follows Roy McBride, an astronaut tasked with uncovering the cause of catastrophic power outages on Earth known as Surges. The catch: those sending Roy on the mission believe that the cause of the Surges has something to do with his father, Clifford (Tommy Lee Jones), who went missing on an interstellar mission around Neptune years earlier. And believe the hype; Pitt’s lead performance in this film tops off a return to form for Pitt in the acting department, after he has spent the past few years behind the camera as a producer. That paired with Gray’s patient and introspective direction and beautiful cinematography from the always-reliable Hoyte van Hoytema make for a unique trip into the stratosphere.

Concert, contracts and challenges: A conversation with Janikah Brice ’20
