Halloween is just around the corner and sadly, it falls on a Monday this year. Most college students will be tired out by the previous weekend’s festivities and with classes going on as usual, a party on a Monday night may not be the wisest choice.

The most common complaint people have with Netflix is the limited amount of films available to stream instantly. Though it’s advertised as “unlimited” movies on Netflix, it’s true just about anything you’re in the mood to watch isn’t available to instantly stream.
The other day I wanted to watch “Forgetting Sarah Marshall.” Not available. Neither was “Detroit Rock City.” There’s really no rhyme or reason to what is available to watch on Netflix other than you can’t watch what you really want to, unless you want to wait 2-3 business days for the arrival of the DVD.
So naturally, I was surprised when “The Ten” was available to instantly watch. You’ve probably never heard of it. It’s directed by David Wain, the same guy who wrote and directed “Wet Hot American Summer.” You’ve probably never heard of that either. “Role Models”? I’m sure you’ve heard of that one.
Wain’s style of humor is indescribable at best. Dumb, yet smart at the same time. Obnoxious and unrealistic, but he makes it work. It’s something a lot of viewers don’t really appreciate unless they’re open-minded to borderline offensive, raunchy comedy. Both “The Ten” and “Wet Hot American Summer” received 30-something percents on Rotten Tomatoes. But I like them, so naturally, you should listen to me instead of the established film critics on the website.
“The Ten” is a collection of skits, all about 15 minutes each, based on the Ten Commandments. When I say based, I mean very, very loosely based. It’s narrated by Paul Rudd, standing in front of two giant tablets, who is breaking the commandment “Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery” by sleeping with Jessica Alba while married to Famke Janssen.

Although many people seem to, I’ve never had a problem with Amy Winehouse. I’m very picky when I come to my music, and I’ve never really liked or disliked her.

It’s that time of year again. School is back in session, the weather’s getting colder, the leaves are changing and of course, the new fall lineup is premiering on TV. HBO’s “True Blood” might be over, and “Jersey Shore” will be ending soon, but with plenty of new material and old favorites, there’ll always be something to watch while procrastinating on your homework or cuddling up on the couch to avoid the cold nights.

The Token Lounge has been a staple in the metro-Detroit local music scene since its establishment in 1971. With a full bar, it usually houses heavy metal and rock. Some national acts have made appearances as well, such as Canadian punk band The Creepshow and Ohio natives Hawthorne Heights. Heavy metal band Lizzy Borden will be playing at The Token on July 16. This doesn’t mean local bands can’t book a show, though; The Token welcomes any and all.

For some, spending money is a whole lot of fun. Spending money on food, spending money on clothes, spending money on activities, it can be fun. Being a broke college student, however, takes most of the fun out of frivilous spending. That’s why it’s a good thing there are so many ways to save money on items you would normally spend full dollar on.

Ideas for movies are becoming few and far between. Almost every movie released in the past few years has been based on a book, a remake or a sequel. Usually the movie isn’t as good as the book, the remake isn’t as good as the original and the sequel isn’t as good as the first. “The Hangover: Part II” is no exception.

Roller derby has had its bouts of popularity since its creation in the 1880s. It started in America as simply an endurance race in which skaters would try to see who could skate the fastest and longest in a circle. In the 1950s through the ’70s, it had more entertainment value than sporting value. In the early 2000s, roller derby had its revival, as the full contact intense sport we know now.

The story of St. Patrick’s Day is quite widely known. We all learned it in elementary school while we colored pictures of leprechauns and pinched that unfortunate kid who forgot to wear green.
