During the fall and spring semesters of every year, across college campuses nationwide, - thousands of male students undergo a trans formation. For some this process lasts weeks, for some months and for others a year. Each student knows that it is happening to him, and in fact welcomes this change, seeks it out even. Regardless of the length of the change, each metamorphosis ends in him entering ings and sensitivity, how can you possibly the same final form: a Frat Boy.

And heroin. And speed. And bath salts. by Anning Wang

Two brothers, Beef Slabchest and Chester Grizzlechin, search for a sea creature known only to them as “King Prawn” in the Bermuda Triangle. Little does Beef know, Grizzle isn’t actually his brother, but an agent of said sea creature assigned to take down Beef. Little does King Prawn know, Grizzle becomes a double agent and is now working against King Prawn. Little do both men know, King Prawn is actually a giant robot created by the government to protect the Atlantic Ocean from sea terrorists. Are you as excit- ed/confused as I am? You bet! Megatron and Optimus Prime settle their differences and set up a small bakery in a suburban Ohio neighborhood. There they face many struggles, including gaining acceptance from their respective sides, protecting the world, and baking the perfect cheese danish, ‘cause man, baking is really hard. FBI Agent Birdman is pulled out of retirement to catch the one foe who eluded him for 40 years: the neighbor’s dog, Tootsie (named affectionately after Dustin Hoffman’s character in the movie of the same name who is somehow still alive). They play a dangerous game of cat and mouse and eventually clash on top of the Empire State Building. IN SPACE! ON A JET PLANE! PILOTED BY STEVE URKEL! ON ANOTHER JET PLANE! PLAYED BY JEFF BRIDGES!

He gets into lots of wacky hijinks along the way, including eating half the population of Hawaii after a drunken binge at some point.

Should he take the main roads, he would arrive earlier and meet with Malto. He, however, loathed the main streets for their danger and visibility, as well as crossing them being directly against his parents’ demands. But, even now, he could see Malto snickering at his lack of resolve. Uncaring of what Malto thought and deciding that time was short, he chose the main road.

Black Mass Before watching this flm, I had no idea who Whitey Bulger was. Unfortunately, this flm doesn’t give too much insight into who Bulger was. Johnny Depp as Whitney Bulger is amazing and frightening at the same time and Joel Edg- erton is great as John Connolly. Other stand out performances include Jesse Plemons and Rory Cochrane as Bulger’s gang members. While the other performances by actors like Kevin Bacon, Corey Stoll, Benedict Cumberbatch and the others are good, they unfortunately do not have much presence in the flm. Another complaint that I had was that the flm took major narrative turns throughout and was not entirely focused. Final Verdict: Rent It!
