Commencement 2020: Four years in review

Ryan Israel and Mike Donovan | Friday, May 15, 2020

It’s time to turn the clock back to what, in retrospect, seems like a simpler time: late summer 2016. The class of 2020 first arrived on campus via an “Ultralight Beam,” looking forward to four years of academic and faith “Formation” and dreaming of staying up “All Night” with friends. Not yet “Destroyed by Hippie Powers,”

‘High Flying Bird’ misses an easy layup

Jake Winningham | Wednesday, February 20, 2019

Steven Soderbergh’s most successful movies find a way to balance their potentially heady themes with his gift for visually engaging, engrossing storytelling. Take, for example, his two best films. “Ocean’s Eleven” is a look at our nation’s celebrity obsession wrapped up in Rat Pack glitz, while the beefcake fantasia of “Magic Mike” belies a meticulous

What ‘Beale Street’ has to say

Jake Winningham | Friday, February 1, 2019

“Beale Street is a street in New Orleans, where my father, where Louis Armstrong and the jazz were born,” James Baldwin wrote in his 1974 novel “If Beale Street Could Talk.” “Every black person born in America was born on Beale Street, whether in Jackson, Mississippi or in Harlem, New York. Beale Street is our

What makes art?

Nicholas Ottone | Friday, September 7, 2018

When I first read about a new Oscar category for “best popular film,” I was indignant. Creating a whole new category for “popular films” seemed ahistorical and cynical at best. Popular films, like “Titanic” and “Lord of the Rings: Return of the King,” have swept the Oscars in years past. Films like “Avatar”, “Mad Max:

The essential truths of ‘Moonlight’

R.J. Stempak | Friday, September 22, 2017

I got around to watching “Moonlight” at the end of the summer, just before returning to school. The 2016 Best Picture perfectly executed what I hope to find in every film I watch: specificity. If you haven’t seen it, “Moonlight” is a fascinating look into the coming of age of a gay black man named

The Academy Awards once again full of surprises

Nora McGreevy | Tuesday, February 28, 2017

We can all identify at least one thing that surprised us about the 89th Academy Awards. It’s hard to be alive in the United States with functional Internet access and not possess at least an inkling of Sunday night’s dramatics: mayhem, Steve Harvey memes, justified anger, public statements of apology, awkward celebrity interviews and the New

Scene’s Selections: The Oscars

Erin McAuliffe, Kelly McGarry, Charlie Kenney, Jack Riedy and Elizabeth Hynes | Friday, February 24, 2017

  Best Picture: “Moonlight” By Jack Riedy Like all great movies, “Moonlight” is both a small story and an impossibly large one. The coming-of-age film follows a black boy, Chiron, as he grows up in Miami poverty. We see him as a meek, nearly mute child, as a scrawny harassed teen and as an impossibly built ex-convict in

‘Moonlight’ — a masterpiece

Katie Lee Madonna | Friday, January 20, 2017

A year ago, an accomplished filmmaker and Facebook friend of mine posted a trailer to a film called “Moonlight.” The trailer’s cinematography evoked Hiro Murai’s intuitive videos for Flying Lotus’ “Never Going To Catch Me” or Kimberly Piece’s iconic and game changing “Boys Don’t Cry.” In my gut, I felt something stir. This is the film that homeless

Ariana Grande Is One “Dangerous Woman”

Alexandra Lowery | Thursday, March 17, 2016

Whatever your opinions on Ariana Grande, it’s guaranteed you’ve had one the 22-year-old artist’s several Billboard-topping singles stuck in your head at some point since she showed us all the “The Way” in 2013. Her debut album, “Yours Truly,” garnered critical and commercial success for its sugar-sweet lyrics and Mariah Carey reminiscent vocals from the
