Apr 24, 2010 No Comments by Dominic Trombino

Now that the end of the year is approaching and everyone is scrambling to get those perfect grades on their finals, I’ll take a moment to step back and look at everything that has happened since September in the world of entertainment. We’ve had a very busy year, with plenty of guidos, a breakout television [...]

Keeping Theater Alive

Apr 21, 2010 No Comments by Dominic Trombino

This past Sunday, I went to go see the Broadway show “The Lion King” in Philadelphia, and it was phenomenal. If you have not yet seen it, I suggest you do (although it ends its run this upcoming Saturday). “The Lion King” is just one example of why I love live theater so much. Theater [...]

Food takes over television

Apr 14, 2010 No Comments by Dominic Trombino

Does anyone else find the concept of an entire channel dedicated to watching other people make food a little odd? I mean, food is something that can’t be really appreciated just by seeing it, you need to taste and smell it to really get the full experience. Still, we not only have an entire channel [...]

Out Ricky Martin setting an example

Apr 07, 2010 1 Comment by Dominic Trombino

Last Monday, pop star Ricky Martin came out of the closet as “a fortunate homosexual man.” Personally, this came as no shock to me. I was more in shock that this announcement was just coming out now. I thought that Martin came out years ago; you know, when people actually cared about him. The point [...]

“Dancing with the Stars” column

Mar 24, 2010 No Comments

The latest season of “Dancing With The Stars,” the show that throws together the most ridiculous assortment of celebrities together, debuted this past Monday. Somehow, this show has skyrocketed into amazing success, as this is the show’s 10th season. Can someone please explain to me how this has happened? Am I the only person that [...]

John Mayer vs. Oprah

Feb 24, 2010 No Comments

Can someone please tell me when Oprah became the queen of the universe, because I never voted on that and I don’t really approve. For those of who have not heard, Oprah is refusing to have John Mayer on her show to apologize for the comments that he made in an interview with Playboy magazine [...]

Homosexuality in the Media

Feb 17, 2010 No Comments

This past weekend, I saw the movie “Valentine’s Day.” In case you live under a rock and have not heard of this movie, it has almost every actor under the sun in it. That is, except Morgan Freeman, which is odd since he seems to be in everything. It is the story of one Valentine’s [...]

Superbowl Commercials

Feb 10, 2010 No Comments

Football is, in my opinion, the least entertaining professional sport out there. Why then do I find the Super Bowl to be one of the most entertaining nights of television? The commercials, of course. Every year, advertisers try to out do themselves and wow us with new and funny commercials. It’s probably the one time [...]

Grammy Recap

Feb 03, 2010 No Comments

I hate Taylor Swift. I know that is a very unpopular view in a “post-Kanye-at-the-VMA’s” world, but it is still the truth. I don’t think she is that talented; her songs are just the dull whining of a dumb teenage girl who keeps getting screwed over by different boys. Take all that, plus her ridiculous [...]
