We all have that one memory of our family that just stands out among the rest. For the Altman’s, it was the time their Dad died, and they were forced to sit Shiva, even though they aren’t Jewish. “This is Where I Leave You” was overflowing with gifted performers, perfectly sculpted scenes, and beautifully written dialogue. Oh, and Tina Fey swears a lot!
When students checked Twitter a few days ago, most thought the tweets regarding the Irish band U2’s new album, “Songs of Innocence,” were a joke. How could every single iPhone have inexplicably downloaded the same CD? Through the mysterious qualities of the iCloud, this bizarre situation really happened — and not everyone is happy with Apple’s gift.
September 15 came around, and that meant that it was finally time to see America’s favorite doctors back on TV. These are the doctors of “The Mindy Project,” who seem to barely speak about medical needs at all, but more about what happens when their strangely entangled lives get even more complicated.
Shonda Rhimes Launches Bold Thursday Night Lineup “Thank God it’s Thursday!” shouted one of the marketing executives at ABC, or so I’m assuming.

While the people of Monmouth County were wrapping up their Fourth of July weekend this past summer, Monmouth University sparked some fireworks of their own by hosting Crosby, Stills & Nash in concert on July 6.
This summer was filled with many new obsessions, like dumping ice on your head and buying more clothes that are originally from the 80s; however, the music scene had a different type of breakout star. Four boys from Sydney, Australia have made their way into the eyes of the public with their self-titled debut album, “5 Seconds of Summer.” More importantly, these boys have brought pop-punk music back onto mainstream radio stations, and even back onto award shows. The band consists of Luke Hemmings (lead vocals/guitar), Michael “Mikey” Clifford (guitar), Calum Hood (bass/vocals), and Ashton Irwin (drums). These 18 and 20-year-old guys have been making their mark on the billboard charts and radio stations around the world.
The heroes currently guarding our galaxy aren’t exactly heroic: the dysfunctional team introduced to us in Marvel’s newest blockbuster is made up of outlaws, thieves, traitors, and (in some cases) genetically-modified creatures.

In forcing its characters to discover their own virtues and establish a new definition for the term ‘hero,’ “Guardians of the Galaxy” became the fresh, funny, and unexpected hit of the summer.
