I first heard of the Watson Twins in relation to my personal idol, Jenny Lewis. Standing behind the amazingly talented, red-headed performer, it was easy to overlook the novice singers whose subdued vocals acted merely to set the stage for Lewis’s tale of a mother who never loved her. However, Chandra and Leigh’s new album Talking to You, Talking to Me is a true testament to the unique and immense talent of the twins. Their third album, Talking to You, Talking to Me is characterized by an enticingly sultry and soulful sound.

Nicholas Sparks, author of choice for any hopeless romantic, engendered the poignant tale of summer romance in The Notebook and the heart-wrenching story of love that conceives a miracle in A Walk to Remember. Against a generation of cynics, Sparks has offered stories that inspire hope in a love that can conquer all, and one that allows us to revel in clichés. After all, we are only willing to pay for an insanely overpriced movie ticket to be enveloped in a world that isn’t our own, in a world where happily ever after can exist.

Just a few steps off campus, Hoyas have the opportunity to experience the essence of France by biting into the sinfully delectable crêpes created in the intimate setting of Snap.

With prominent actors such as Vince Vaughn, known for his stream of fast-paced and pithy monologues, along with Jason Bateman, famous for starring in one of the best comically scripted television shows, “Arrested Development,” Couple’s Retreat seems to have all the necessary players for a sure-fire hit. However, falling in line with many of the movies that have recently been released, Couple’s Retreat falls far short of expectations. Enduring this exorbitantly long and poorly scripted film, I found myself checking the time and counting down the minutes until I would be reliev

While most have come to know the Oktoberfest holiday as another excuse to binge drink, in actuality, this festival started as a wedding celebration of sack races and goose chases. It originated as a horse race honoring the marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese in 1810.
