Erin Lee Carr’s “Britney vs. Spears” details the story of Britney Spears’ pressures of fame, specifically focusing on how those pressures led to her well-publicized conservatorship (from which her father left last week, just after the documentary’s release on Netflix). Although this documentary had a lot of potential to address a popular issue of great

Clint Eastwood’s newest film, “Cry Macho,” is a feeble attempt to fill up 100 minutes of your time. A meandering road trip story that promises car chases and cowboys sounds like a classic in the making — until those scenes last two minutes and are spliced between long, drawn-out moments in the arid desert of

I am very excited to announce the new acquisition at the Snite Museum of Art: “Earth Kid (Boy)” (2020) by Yinka Shonibare CBE. This incredibly compelling sculpture by the Nigerian-British artist is a very special addition to the Snite’s collection of contemporary art, and it’s something that should be celebrated!

Premiering in 1999, “She’s All That” is a rom-com about a jock dumped by his girlfriend who tries to save his reputation by betting he can turn an “ugly” girl into a popular one by prom. Of course, the “ugly” girl is stunning underneath her glasses and unibrow, and the two end up falling in

“Donda,” “Donda,” “Donda.” For the latter half of the summer the title of Kanye West’s latest album has found its way onto my social media feeds, whether it be trending tweets or Instagram photos of West’s room in Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Kanye, or “Ye,” as he would prefer to be called, commanded attention and mystified his

Michelle Zauner, the frontwoman for indie rock band Japanese Breakfast, has outright stated that their third studio album is one about joy. And with a name like “Jubilee,” perhaps that shouldn’t come as a surprise. A quick listen through the record only underscores the obvious, as nearly every track is a bonafide banger — even

Along the way, he must redefine himself

When Notre Dame senior Ashley Cavuto decided to write a book last March, she knew she wanted to include mythology, mystery and a maze. Before she became A. Cavuto, author of “The Dust That Danced” — a mystery novel which has entered the publication and printing process today through New Degree Press — she operated
