AS SEEN ON: Hulu considers charging for content

By alex duckles | October 27, 2009

I can't even remember the last time I was available to watch "Community" or "Glee" on the night it actually aired. I, like many of you I'm sure, rely heavily on Internet services to facilitate my television addiction. The premiere web site for legal streaming video of television programming is undoubtedly Hulu.com, which, after only two and a half years online only one of those years as a public venture has already become a household name. The site offers select programming from NBC, FOX, ABC and some cable networks, and also hosts an impressive library of feature-length films.

HEAR AND NOW: Spotlight on an alum flutist

October 26, 2009

This past weekend, we celebrated the great traditions of our dear "College on the Hill," while proud alumni flooded Upper Valley hotels and invaded our frat parties. In the spirit of Homecoming, I felt it only appropriate to acknowledge the accomplishments of one of Dartmouth's artistic graduates. While many have heard tell of the Dartmouth faces working in entertainment media Rachel Dratch '88, Mindy Kaling '01, Phil Lord' 97 and Chris Miller '97 come to mind some of Dartmouth's musical alumni are less well known.

‘Wild Things' reminds viewers of the power of imagination

By kelly o'brien | October 20, 2009

If you had asked me for my opinion of Maurice Sendak's "Where The Wild Things Are" (1963) before I saw the film adaptation that led the box office last weekend, I would have told you it was among my top three favorite children's books. Now, however, I'm pretty sure I need to reread the story again.

Courtesy of thehypefactor.com Britney Spears, once again, is at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 with her new single, "3." It's deja vu: Last October, "Womanizer" hit the top spot. This time, however, I don't get it at all. I always like hearing good news about Britney Spears.

HEAR AND NOW: Long Live the King

By Rebecca Lee | October 12, 2009

Michael Jackson may be dead, but he definitely isn't gone. Although the pop sensation bid the world farewell on July 25, his death seems to have sparked a craving for all things MJ. The latest example of Jackson's immortality is Sony Music's release yesterday of "This Is It." Insiders speculate that the track was recorded sometime around 1991 when Jackson was working on "Dangerous" (1991). This song might actually be it: the fruition of Jackson's aspirations to stage a comeback in 2009.

Gervais' acting and writing talents shine in ‘Lying'

By kelly o'brien | October 11, 2009

A number of familiar obstacles stand between Mark Bellison (writer-director Ricky Gervais) and his beautiful date, Anna McDoogles, (Jennifer Garner) in the first scene of "The Invention of Lying" (2009). They include Mark's lack of financial assets, his soon-to-be lack of employment, his lack of any apparent talent that could remedy those situations and the obstacle that proves most difficult to overcome his chubby, snub-nosed exterior. It is, perhaps, in recognition of our own superficial tendencies that we are first introduced to Mark through a voice-over.
