I was sitting in the kitchen Monday morning with the radio on when I first heard the news: a man had entered a café in Sydney’s central business district and was holding hostages. I was living with a host family far out in the suburbs of Sydney at this point, but the siege was occurring ten minutes from my old apartment in the heart of downtown. That morning, my host had gone to her office, which was located in the area. One of my housemates contacted her to make sure she was all right, and she replied that she was fine, but her building was on lockdown. We did not know if she would be allowed to come home that night. We kept the radio on for the rest of the day, but there was little news until early the next morning.

I’m finally back after a couple of weeks away
and I will be reviewing the last two episodes of “The Walking Dead” half-season,
which I give a combined 3 out of 5 stars.

Anthony dribbles the clock out and Richmond wins 54-41. Jones led the Spiders with 11 points. Nelson-Ododa's presence on defense made it difficult for Howard to get any clear looks around the rim. This was not an offensively smooth game for either team, but Richmond was able to muscle its way to victory.

Another week, and another rock-solid episode of "The
Walking Dead.” It’s becoming almost
boring reviewing the show because of how much fun I have had with this season
so far.

As the final buzzer sounds, the Richmond Spiders take the win over the High Point Panthers. The final score is 80-56. Almost every Richmond player made a difference in this game. Kendall Anthony scored a team-high 22 points and went 4-of-6 from 3-point range.

“Interstellar” is a new
film from director Christopher Nolan starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne
Hathaway and Jessica Chastain; a five-star movie in my opinion. The film is a crowning achievement in the
sci-fi genre, but one that falls just short of masterpiece status.
“Interstellar” deals with such gigantic ideas such as our place in the cosmos,
while also contemplating the meaning of human life when our planet
cannot sustain us anymore.

“Birdman” encapsulates the very best of what cinema can do — the film is a breathless whirlwind through one man’s quest to achieve artistic relevance. Michael Keaton stars as Riggan Thomson, an aging actor trying to escape the shadow of his former superhero persona. He attempts to do this by writing, directing and starring in a Broadway stage production of Raymond Chandler’s short story, “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love.”

From duct tape to the Internet, many technologies that are used in everyday life were originally developed for military use. Now that several big American corporations are pushing the Federal Aviation Administration to loosen regulations, drones may be next.

This has been the best three-episode stretch that "The Walking Dead" has had in some time, possibly ever. I am giving episode three 4.2 out of 5 stars. WARNING: There are full spoilers for this week’s episode below.

“The Shining,” based on Stephen King’s novel, was fairly misunderstood upon its first release. But like most Stanley Kubrick films, it has aged wonderfully, while also garnering a great deal of critical acclaim throughout the years. “The Shining” is one of the finest examples of the horror genre ever created, and a major achievement in Kubrick’s directorial output. The story of a family terrorized by the evil forces in the Overlook Hotel, this film is genuinely terrifying. Being able to see “The Shining” in a theater for the first time has added an almost mythic power to its already gargantuan stature.This film works so well because of Kubrick’s writing and directing talents. He is a known perfectionist who demands the best out of every single frame in his movies. This shows in the impressive technical aspects of the film.

"Basetrack Live" is an interactive multimedia experience, created and performed by the dedicated group of artists from the En Garde Arts theater company and the corpsmen from the 1st Battalion, 8th Marines. I was lucky enough to catch the Oct. 22 performance at the Modlin Center for the Arts at University of Richmond. I have seen a great number of films and TV shows that deal directly with the effects of war, from "Full Metal Jacket" to "Band of Brothers." The majority of these productions focus primarily on the soldiers' perspectives on training, deployment, combat and re-integration back into society. Obviously the soldier’s perspective is crucial in understanding the overarching ramifications of war, but solely focusing on this aspect can only give you part of the picture. "Basetrack Live" attempts to correct this oversight in many ways.

“The Walking Dead” Season 5 Episode 2
(10/16/14 8:37pm)
“Gone Girl” is the new film from auteur director David Fincher. The movie stars Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike as Nick and Amy Dunne, a seemingly happy all-American couple living in the suburbs outside of St. Louis. Affleck gives the best performance of his career in this movie, as he is perfectly suited to play this role. Pike also gives a transformative performance in her breakthrough role as Amazing Amy. The movie is based on author and screenwriter Gillian Flynn’s bestselling novel of the same name.

The season premiere of “The Walking Dead” aired with a bang on Sunday night. After a long wait over the summer, it was exhilarating to return to our heroes as they faced yet another life-altering crisis. The major arc of the second half of the fourth season involved our group of survivors making their way toward the promise of sanctuary in Terminus, a place that had advertised itself as a safe haven from the calamity of the dead walking the earth. We were treated to a series of standalone episodes devoted to various members of the people who survived the battle with the governor at the prison. These episodes were meant to give us insight into who these people were as opposed to just fodder for the various living and dead enemies around. Some episodes were more successful than others, but on the whole they did a good job of building up to the season's end.

One of the major downsides of going abroad to Australia fall semester is missing out on all the autumn festivities in Richmond. I imagine the leaves around Westhampton Lake are incredible right now, I miss all the festive drinks at 8:15 and I’m really sad that I will not be home to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family. However, one of the major highlights of being abroad in the southern hemisphere is getting to celebrate Spring Break twice!
