She’s Out of My League
I remember when Steven Karp was a freshman at UNEC and he lost his virginity to his floormate Lizzie on “Undeclared.” This makes me remember when Lindsay Weir decided to hang with the freaks at William McKinley High School in “Freaks and Geeks.
Oscars according to Cadenza
The Oscars are fast-approaching, and we here at Cadenza wanted to put in our two cents. There doesn’t seem to be much disagreement about who will win, but who should win?
Clearly avoiding extinction “The Land Before Time” series
Ah, the land before time existed, home to various reptilian and pre-mammalian creatures, and fathomed by Steven Spielberg himself! Hold on a second. Did I say “Steven Spielberg,” implying that this man, the creator of “E.T.” and so much else, had something to do with “The Land Before Time”? Your eyes do not deceive you, dear reader.
“Cop Out” Review
Kevin Smith has made his living in small increments. His movies, while never huge box office hits (which typically come with huge box office budgets), have gained him a strong following and modest gains. He seems to pump out comedies in his sleep, and they’re all hilarious and witty.
Biting worries on Edward Cullen
There’s a six-foot tall cardboard cut-out of Edward Cullen in my younger sister’s bedroom. It wobbles when she hugs it.

Normally, I just shrink back into my chair and pretend that I never said anything, but no more. These movies—like “Step Up,” “You Got Served” and my favorite, “Honey”—are ridiculously entertaining and deserve the artistic respect that they are so often denied.
In Defense Of: Lil Wayne’s rock and Kanye’s pop
Upon the release of Lil Wayne’s seventh studio album, “Rebirth,” the hip-hop community once again saw a stream of criticism over a rap icon’s departure from his roots. The record—founded on rock music but laced with rap vocals—reveals a side of Wayne we have never seen before. Over the past 13 years, Weezy has made himself into one of the rap game’s leading stars.
It’s almost 2020
Last semester, we wrote a heap o’ articles on our favorite movies, genres and “America’s Next Top Model” cycles from the last decade.
