‘Focus’ fails to maintain tension
(03/03/15 6:51am)
Focus, the latest Will Smith action film, may have pulled in $19.1 million in its opening weekend, but the film’s reception better represented by its 55 percent critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Focus will attract plenty of moviegoers to the theater due to its leading man and sexy tagline, but the film ultimately slows halfway through and fails to leave a positive impression on the viewer.

Eighty-three gramophone statues were given out last night at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards. Sam Smith won four awards—for Song of the Year, Record of the Year, Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Album. Beyoncé, Pharrell and Roseanne Cash all took home three Grammys each, but many people think that Beyoncé unfairly lost out on Album of the Year to Beck. Kanye West lost in all his categories, but he still managed to stay in the spotlight, performing at the show and doing a spoof in which he interrupted Beck when receiving his award for Album of the Year, a move reminiscent of his infamous interruption of Taylor Swift last year.

Miss Colombia, Paulina Vega, was crowned Miss Universe on Sunday night, winning the coveted crown against four other finalists in the Miss Universe pageant. Miss USA, Nia Sanchez, won second place. Businessman Donald Trump owns the annual beauty pageant, which features young women from over 80 countries. However, this year’s pageant has not been without controversy. Miss Israel 2006 and Miss Lebanon 2006 stirred up the drama after appearing in an Instagram photo together. The photos reminded people of a similar incident in 2006, where Miss Israel and Miss Lebanon appeared in a photo together during the time of the Israel-Hezbollah war. Although the pageant represents women around the world, it is hard to forget the political and foreign affairs dynamics that impact it.

With four Golden Globe nominations already under its belt, Selma is shaping up to be one of the most influential and memorable films of 2015.

Editors choose best of 2014 TV releases
(01/13/15 7:04am)
Due to a lack of cable and spare time, my budget for new television shows is relatively slim. However, I did find time to check out NBC’s newest comedy Bad Judge starring Kate Walsh as Rebecca Wright, a discombobulated and questionable criminal court judge. I am drawn to the show because Wright doesn’t care about the system or expectations—she does whatever she wants while still serving as an excellent judge. Her antics are amusing and liberating—the show proves that just because she does not behave like your stereotypical judge, does not mean she is bad at her job.

Tufts professor speaks about Kahlo exhibit
(11/25/14 4:53am)
Most Frida Kahlo exhibits focus on the artist’s work as a reflection of her life, but curator Adriana Zavala, associate professor of art and art history at Tufts University, has taken a different approach in her upcoming exhibit at the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx. The exhibit, which will run from May 16 to Nov. 1 2015, instead views Kahlo’s art through a botanical lens, focusing on the nature and plant aspects of her prolific work. Zavala spoke to a group of Brandeis colleagues and students last Thursday as a guest lecturer for Prof. Gannit Ankori’s (FA) class on Frida Kahlo this semester.
