Et Tu, Ryan Gosling: The Ides of March wins our vote

Ides of March is a film full of political clichés: the seductive teenaged intern, the idealistic thirty-something campaign manager, and the handsome two-faced politician.

Summer Photo Arts Contest Winners

After receiving over 70 submissions (including six puppies and too many sunsets to count), we ranked, deliberated and finally awarded College sophomore AMANDA STEVENS with the top summer shot. Only an amateur photographer, she snapped the pic — admirable for its dramatic color contrast, balanced composition and authenticity of experience — during a 75–day trip in the Chugach Mountains of southern Alaska. What ultimately separated this shot from all others is its layering of subjects, capturing an incredible vastness of landscape without shrinking the impact of the silhouetted figures.

One Track Mind: Blink–182’s “After Midnight”

If “After Midnight,” the second single off Blink–182’s long–awaited reunion album, is any indication, you’ll want to move into the band's Neighborhoods (available now). After a six–year hiatus, Blink–182 returns with the same catchy punk aesthetic that made them one of pop music’s most influential acts. Atop the thumping, steady beat of Travis Barker’s drums and Tom DeLonge’s bold, driving guitar melodies, Mark Hoppus shines on the soaring choruses.

Art and Politics: An Introduction

The phrase “political art” is something of a misnomer. Okay, I’ll be honest — it’s a horrible title.
