If you ask me to rate this film on a scale of one to 10, my head will explode.

With all the ferocious zest that Quentin Tarantino has invested in his latest project, including […]
GW’s transfer to a government-mandated international student tracking system this fall has been relatively flawless, University officials said. Since August, all universities with foreign student populations have used the federal electronic tracking system SEVIS to ensure students are abiding by the terms of their student visas. Congress mandated the creation of SEVIS in response to […]
“My Life Without Me” by Andrew Siddons I have a crush on Sarah Polley. I attribute my crush on the lead actress of “My Life Without Me” (Sony Pictures Classics) to several factors, among them her subtle beauty and her quirky Canadian accent.

We’re ima robot,” announced lead singer Alex Ebert. Then ima robot’s power-garage rock shook the audience. The band tore through a ferocious […]
Artist: Primus Title: Animals Should Not Try To Act Like People Genre: No conventional musical genre, thrash/funk/hard rock fusion Label: Interscope In today’s world, manufactured bands catering to corporate sponsors allow little room for musical integrity and originality. Musicians rarely toe the thin line between creative genius and absolute lunacy. Enter Les Claypool, arguably one […]
Islamic Awareness Week at GW recently drew to a close, yet it remains clear that the religious intolerance of Islam persists in the post 9/11 world.
