The Grill at Patterson and Libbie will likely suffer the same fate as its predecessor, Freckles, if it keeps serving up below-average American food.
Tina Fey and Steve Carell are a boring married couple that, on a Mark Ruffalo fear-inspired whim, goes to a restaurant, steals someone's reservation and ends up being chased by crooked cops.
"What should one wear to an interview for an internship? What about for a job?" Dress professionally, which usually means a suit.
The evil runt twin of the movie "300" and "Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief" got together and made a baby named "Clash of the Titans." It is also an example of why Hollywood's sudden obsession with the quick, easy and cheap version of 3D will fail miserably if studios apply the method to every movie they shove out into theaters. Aside from being fuzzy and hard to follow with the glasses on, there are plenty of plainly bizarre problems with this Perseus rip-off/remake of the 1981 film of the same name that should have made someone at the production studio shelve this thing. Basically, Perseus is the son of Zeus who goes to slay Hades after he kills Perseus's family.
On the summery night of April 2, First Fridays East connected First Fridays Art Walk to Richmond's eastern corridor and drew in an even larger crowd than last month, including President Edward Ayers. The event comprised four venues ? the University of Richmond Downtown, the Library of Virginia, St.
What do you do during your weekends? Usually one day is devoted to grading or research projects.
If you're looking for a gentle and sophisticated bistro, then Mamma Zu is not for you. However, if you're looking for an exceptional Italian meal at a restaurant with personality, then you definitely want to give it a try. Upon entering Mamma Zu, the first thing you notice is the tantalizing scent of warm Italian cooking: olive oil, bread, parmesan ... and then it's interrupted by someone abruptly telling you the wait will be 30 to 40 minutes, at least.
This year, the 18th Annual French Film Festival joined with the James River Film Festival to continue its tradition of welcoming visitors from all over the country to partake in the largest French film festival in the United States.
The University of Richmond's D-squad performed "D-squad Breaking the Habit" at its biannual performance on Friday, April 2 in the Tyler Haynes Commons. In the past, the squad had performed only hip-hop dances.
While both Pi Beta Phi and Kappa Kappa Gamma sororities placed during the stepping competition on Friday night, the Delta Delta Delta sorority's leap-frog blindfold routine earned them the title as champion of Stepping 101. The event, which was on April 2 in the Alice Haynes Room, pitted The University of Richmond's six Panhellenic sororities against each other in a step dance battle.
The wooden sunflower sculpture that has been on the hill outside Boatwright Library for several weeks will be moved into the Westhampton Lake on Saturday. The sculpture, called "Heliotrope," or "flower that follows the sun," was constructed by the Land Art and Landscape class on March 20 as a culmination of a semester studying different kinds of land art throughout history, said philosophy professor Gary Shapiro, who taught the class with art professor Erling Sjovold. Heliotrope was designed by David Wood, an environmental artist and philosophy professor at Vanderbilt University.
No doubt many Collegian readers have observed the black and white sheep cut-outs that seem to be slowly migrating across campus, plastered with cryptic messages reading "SHE'S HERE," as well as providing a convenient phone number to call for more information. I myself was rather confused, until someone in the know told me that the animals were part of an advertising campaign to publicize this semester's main stage play, "The Madwoman of Chaillot," written by Jean Giraudoux and directed by Dorothy Holland.
Sauces, dips and chips, oh my! Chipotle and ranch: best with nuggets and fries Mix one part chipotle sauce (at the sandwich bar) with one part ranch dressing. Three-layer nacho dip: best with tortilla chips Layer one part cream cheese with one part salsa and top with one part shredded cheese.
So here's the deal: I'm still a kid at heart. The rest of the University of Richmond student population could claim they wanted to grow up, be mature, yada-yada, and I would still say that I love cartoons, love these new CGI animated movies, and that I especially love "How to Train Your Dragon." In the film, a scrawny viking boy named Hiccup, voiced by Jay Baruchel, the high-pitched guy from "Knocked Up," befriends a dragon.
