Zig-A-Zig-Ah You slide on your favorite pink flip-flops and walk out into the sunshine, avoiding the chalk art you drew the day before, simultaneously clipping your Walkman to the loop of your denim jeans. After placing the slightly worn headphones over your ears, you remove the cassette tape from your pocket and carefully place it…

Movie Review: The Host
The Universe & U This is how I see it. We spend years preoccupied with a series, constantly wishing they would select it for the big screen. Detailing lists; compiling scenes and particular components we absolutely want and don’t want. We debate casting decisions; obsess over initial snapshots and overdue theatrical trailers. We buy advance…
TV Rewind: The Vampire Diaries – “American Gothic”
Trust 101 We’re in the home-stretch of the TVD season, with only a handful of episodes to go, with only a few more chances for them to right their wrongs. These past couple of weeks, TVD has improved its game, reminding us of the good old days with witty quips and mad (in a good…
Download This! (Lyric Video Edition)
Video Killed the Radio Star There’s this new thing that’s very popular in the music world. It’s called a lyric video, and it’s a music video that really isn’t a music video. Confusing, I know. Back in the old days, I’m sure we all remember, there was one video for one song. Now, it’s not…
Once
A poetic love-song embedded between ostentatious bouquets of flowery verses. That’s what you’ve come to expect out of a poem, right? Once is that typical modern love story, but one that has gone terribly, terribly wrong. It’s more of a lyrical fairy tale than anything else, but in a severely twisted sort of way. Stop…
TV Rewind: The Vampire Diaries – “Because the Night”
Two’s Company. Three’s a Crowd. Throughout the course of last night’s episode, you couldn’t help but feel as if you were walking down a familiar road, a path that somehow had the possibility to lead towards home. We all know it’s a journey that is nowhere near complete, but it felt like TVD finally (at…

TV Rewind: The Vampire Diaries – “Bring It On”
Bad Girls Having lost her brother, her humanity and her home, you would expect Elena Gilbert to be a little bat-crap-crazy. However, acting like a robotic Katherine-Clone is not exactly what we had in mind. Elena was ruthless, cruel. She was homicidal, a she-devil! In all seriousness, we have to ask, what the hell, Elena?…
Trailer Talk: Much Ado About Nothing
Whedon vs The Bard Respectable nerds everywhere know that when you overhear the name Joss Whedon, or any other associated moniker, there is a predetermined selection of acceptable reactions. For instance, on the day Dollhouse was cancelled, the common reaction had everyone devouring a pint of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and shedding a few…
TV Rewind: The Vampire Diaries – “Stand By Me”
Acceptance & Denial Saying Goodbye Elena Gilbert sobbed uncontrollably as she held her dying brother in her arms. She tried to deny what her heart was telling her – that he was gone, that he was never coming back – but she couldn’t, wouldn’t believe it. Not this time. Not this way. He was the…
She & Him “Never Wanted Your Love”
“I never wanted your love, but I needed it all” Anytime I listen to the mellow sounds of Indie-Pop duo, She & Him, my mind begins to embark on a fanciful journey; a journey to a world that’s been shaped around wistful thieves and sentimental hearts. I imagine it to be a place designed from…
TV Rewind: The Vampire Diaries – “Down the Rabbit Hole”
The Island A Series of Short Stories: The Interview This was the not the first time Damon had been tethered to a tree, nor would it be his last. He scratched at his vervain-soaked bindings, hoping to quickly free himself, but his captor was far too observant. “Is something bothering you?” the hunter asked in…
