“Rush,” released Sept. 20, is a must-see. This epic action-drama film takes us back to the 1970’s rivalry between Formula 1 racecar drivers Niki Lauda, played by Daniel Brühl, and James Hunt, played by Chris Hemsworth. Producer and two-time Academy Award winner Ron Howard was able to bring this rivalry back to life in ways an ordinary documentary would fall short.

After five flawless seasons, what has been hailed as the most perfect show on television came to perhaps too perfect a conclusion Sunday night. “Breaking Bad” left no loose end untied, no justice undealt, and no questions unanswered. Compared to other epic series endings, (“The Sopranos,” “Lost”) it seemed to offer the audience the most satisfying and least mysterious conclusion.

Located underneath the Gap in Westport center, Cru, which opened in June, is a restaurant and lounge with a modern and luxurious atmosphere. The dining room tends to fill up because of its popularity; therefore I recommend making a reservation. The lounge is an excellent area to have drinks and small plates, and dishes are paired with recommended wines.

“Prima Materia”- The Virgins- “Strike Gently” (2013) I got to see these guys this summer when they opened for The Killers in Newark, and I thought that they were great. If this song doesn’t get the head bobbing or the foot tapping, then I don’t know what will.

When you think of pizza and college you probably imagine early morning calls to Domino’s after a night of tomfoolery and shenanigans at the townhouses. You think of that greasy, hastily made “pizza” that you can’t get enough of after copious amounts of jungle juice and Natty Light. Or perhaps you think of boxes and boxes of Bavooki’s all over the floor of the Goat House. Kudos to you if you got the “Blue Mountain State” reference.

Mr. Rager, The Man on the Moon, Mr. Solo Dolo, Scott Mescudi; these are all names for the artist we have come to know as Kid Cudi. Kid Cudi performed at Foxwoods Casino’s MGM Grand Theatre on Sept. 29.

The cool, black steel of the United States-Mexico border fence stands forebodingly in Nogales, Mexico. Its snakelike structure dominates the city’s landscape.

This Sunday, the field hockey team edged Columbia University 4-3 as they improved to a 4-0 home record at University Field. Seniors Nikki McLucas, Hillary Fitts, and Shealyn Testa scored along with Felicitas Heinen ‘15 to lead the Lady Stags to their fifth straight victory and an 8-2 overall record.

In one of the most anticipated games of the season, the Fairfield Women’s Soccer Team was able to prevail and defeat one of their biggest rivals, Marist, with a score of 2-1.

Appalled would be an understatement. Just when you thought the fashion trends of today could not get any lazier, any more heinous, manufacturers raised the bar yet again. Some brilliant designer out there has decided to further convenience us by sewing together a pair of leggings and a skirt, giving birth to the skegging.
