Spider-Man hits the home run for the Spider

(09/10/19 10:00am)

With a 90 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.9 out of ten on IMDB, “Spider-Man: Far From Home” swung into theaters on July 2. This is the fifth movie starring Tom Holland as Spider-Man since Disney struck up a deal to allow the Sony-owned character to become part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In this deal, Marvel Studios gained the rights to put Spider-Man in the “Avengers” franchise, if “Marvel won’t receive a cut of the box office for any of Sony’s films that feature Spider-Man. Sony won’t receive a percentage of the revenue Disney makes from Marvel’s films that have Spider-Man, either,” explained a 2015 Variety article.

Even after a poor 2018 season, here are ten must-see pro football games for the 2019 season

(09/10/19 10:00am)

With each new National Football League season, optimism is the rule for fans of all teams. Even for the fans of the teams that had poor seasons in 2018, there is the belief and hope that a star player acquired in the draft — or through trade or free agency — will be the final addition that is needed for a championship team. Here are my top must-see games for 2019.

Team ups their game, earns two victories

(09/10/19 10:00am)

The Brandeis women’s soccer team won two games this week, coming back from their loss to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. On Sept. 4, in their home opener, Brandeis shutout Bridgewater State University by a score of 3–0. This brought the Judges’ season record to 1–1. They have yet to play any games against their University Athletic Association rivals.

Judges succeed in their first match followed by two losses

(09/03/19 10:00am)

The Brandeis women’s volleyball team began their season in matches on Friday against three non-University Athletic Association teams. This season brings the fresh talent of three rookies who have the potential to contribute to the success of the program, though they are currently off to a mixed start of one win and two losses. Heading into their next matchup against DeSales University on Friday, the team’s goal is to break their new two-game losing streak.

Wellesley Invitational brings success

(09/03/19 10:00am)

With recent graduates such as  Emily Bryson ’19 —  a nine-time All-American and four-time national champion — as well as the rest of last year’s seniors moving on from Brandeis, this year’s team has big shoes to fill. However, this past Friday’s meet at the Wellesley Invitational saw the start of a promising 2019 season for both the Brandeis men’s and women’s cross country teams, proving that the team still possesses more than enough talent to have an amazing season. At their first meet of the season, the Brandeis Judges competed against schools such as Wentworth Institute of Technology, Regis College, Lasell College and Wellesley College.

Students protest ‘racist’ policies

(05/20/19 10:00am)

Brandeis students gathered on the Rabb Steps on May 1 to protest racialized policing practices on campus, marching from Rabb to the Department of Community Living office, the Department of Public Safety office, the Bernstein-Marcus Administration Center and the Shapiro Campus Center, reading their demands of the University at each location. The rally was coordinated by students who were part of Concerned Students 2015, the group that led the Ford Hall 2015 sit-in.

Puppet show for grownups

(04/16/19 10:00am)

As many Brandeis students gathered on Chapels Field for Springfest, I decided to attend a different kind of rowdy performance: a puppet show full of slapstick for the kids and political jokes to get a few chuckles out of the parents. On Sunday, April 7, I sat down in the second row of the SCC Theater, surrounded by children with their parents and facing a classic boxy puppet theater alone on the stage. To American puppet theatergoers, the stock story of a Punch and Judy show is completely foreign. But these British archetypes of a dysfunctional puppet family — and perhaps an entire dysfunctional society — have been popping up at fairs and festivals in the English countryside for nearly 400 years.
