Liam Neeson may be taking "A Walk Among the Tombstones" but we the viewers are walking into two hours of boredom. This is a movie that wants to be clever and mysterious but instead it's stale, uninspired, and clichè. It's not necessarily terrible but, it's just so “whatever.” I seriously can’t find a better word, that's how little this movie...

Saturday nights on the Sunset Strip have been the home of the the eccentric and the vain since the Whiskey a Go Go opened its doors in 1964. There were only two changes to that truth last night: one, there was a larger crowd and two, the music that attracted them spilled into the street. The seventh annual Sunset Strip...

A year after his first failed attempt at rendering Syria to dust, Emperor Obama has now unleashed the dogs of war on the restless Middle East.

The auditorium was loud with social gathering. A large screen showed an aged man’s face overlooking the audience as a form of spectacle. His eyes were a clear blue; he pensively surveyed the crown with a firm hand under his chin, attempting to take in everyone present. His presence was striking, even if he stood unknown to you.

In fact, it's not until a...

At the third A. S. meeting of the school year on Monday, September 15th, the new board adopted the 2014-2015 budget after tabling the issue twice at two previous meetings and changing the fiscal policy language. A candidate for the position of A. S. Vice President stepped forward, and concerns for the Cayton center were discussed. In the first meeting...

This Saturday, at The Inkwell beach in Santa Monica, Santa Monica College, in collaboration with the Black Surfers Collective, hosted one of the over fifty statewide beach cleanup sites for Coastal Clean Up Day, the largest volunteer day on the planet. 675 registered volunteers, excluding the 50 or so SMC students from Eco-action, the Marine Biology Club, Plastic Free SMC,...

Many of us have said it, we see it around campus, we hear it being yelled in the field and yet students of Santa Monica College are not aware of what our mascot is. We have all been in contact with the word, one way or another, but If someone asked you what it means, what would your answer be?...

On Saturday, the streets of South Central Los Angeles were again the site of small, but determined protests sparked by the recent shooting death of Ezell Ford by Los Angeles Police Department officers. Ford, a mentally disabled, 19-year-old black male, was shot by LAPD officers Sharlton Wampler and Antonio Villegas last month when they claimed he refused to obey orders...
