CALVIN HUANGIt's no secret that tuition costs have gone up in recent years. According to the College Board's Annual Survey of Colleges, tuition and fees for public two-year colleges have increased by over 34 percent since 2004, and costs for public 4-year colleges have increase by over 50 percent in the same period. Luckily, scholarships offer a much appreciated reprieve...

The Chaffey Hustlin' Panthers played host Wednesday night to the Rio Hondo Road Runners. This was CHP's first Foothill Conference game on campus in the Sports Center, and second conference game overall. Coach Jeff Klein's team is the No. 2 ranked team in California and No. 1 team in Southern California. They improved to 19-3 overall and won their second...

HANAJUN CHUNG A good sequel is expected to improve what the original did best, while fixing the problems of the first film. “Thor: The Dark World” hits all the marks of a good sequel, but unfortunately leaves it at that. The sequel to “Thor” and “The Aveng­ers” finds itself in an unfortunate posi­tion of being better than only one of...

HANAJUN CHUNG “The Counselor” has the ingredients for something wonderful. First, there’s direc­tor Ridley Scott, the legendary filmmaker behind masterpieces such as “Alien” and “Gladiator.” Second, there’s the finest gathering of A-list talent filling out the cast, names such as Michael Fassbender, Cameron Diaz, and Brad Pitt. Finally — and most exciting — is the first original screenplay by Pulitzer...

HANAJUN CHUNG Bill Condon’s “The Fifth Estate” is one of the most expensive, showy, and super­ficial timeline assignments ever presented as a film, a 128-minute docudrama on WikiLeaks and its founders. Playing on the idea that it’s press be­yond the fourth estate (i.e. people), the film is a conventional rise-and-fall as one could imagine if they had no understanding of...

HANAJUN CHUNG If students felt a jig in their step late af­ternoon while walking through the Quad on Oct. 2, it was probably because of DJ Elekt. Hosted by the Associated Students of Chaffey College, DJ Elekt, with the as­sistance of DJ Sammy Du, performed for Music in the Quad, an ongoing event. As opposed to a highly advertised se­mester...

HANAJUN CHUNG "Prisoners" has one scene in the beginning in which things feel incredibly positive, joyously fitting for the moment. It’s a great, naturalistic moment that provides a nice warmth in an otherwise winter atmosphere. That scene is not only great, but it’s also necessary for the film because the rest is pure darkness in a literal and figurative sense....

ROBERT ORTIZ The Naked and Famous’s latest efforts, In Rolling Waves, is different from their first titled Passive Me, Aggressive You. Breaking genre conventions is what this album is all about. The album starts off with an acoustic guitar strumming along, adding in vocals and ends in their telltale electronic beats and great vocals. The first track really sets the...

HANAJUN CHUNG In 1975, a shark and director Steven Spielberg created the summer blockbuster with “Jaws.” Today, when people go into the cinema during summer, they know what they're getting. It's the time of the year when the studios release their biggest, most expensive films for audiences world­wide. But among the star-filled bombasts, there are several alternatives for audiences to...
