Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

By Taylor Kagy

This year's awaited blockbuster, Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, was released on October 3, 2008. Director Peter Sollett did an exquisite job bringing the story of Nick and Norah (based on a book by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan) to the big screen. Through hard work and devotion, both cast and crew brought this amazing film to life. It was a masterpiece of the silver screen.
The story of a heartbroken boy named Nick Yidaris whose girlfriend breaks up with him, sets up the plot. His best friends find him sulking and force him out of the house to play in their band at a bar and for a night out on the town. Additionally, they seek out the location of the secret performance of their favorite band, 'Where's Fluffy'. While out, Nick meets Norah Silverbug, who is desperate to find a boyfriend for five minutes in order to get her friend Tris (played by Alexis Dziena) off her back about the subject. Norah ends up choosing Nick as her 'temporary boyfriend.' The problem? Tris is the girl that broke Nick's heart in the first place. Nick's friends decide that Norah is the girl for him and try to get them together, promising to get Norah's drunken friend safely home and let Nick and Norah ride alone to find 'Where's Fluffy'. The plan seemed to go smoothly until Nicks friends decide to make a quick stop and Norah's friend, who is drunk, wakes up drunk in the back of their van and does not know where she is. In a frenzy, she decides to ditch the car before they come back, thinking that she has been kidnapped. The rest of the night is spent on a wild goose chase trying to find the 'lost drunk.'
This film was quite a crowd pleaser as one could infer from its popularity. The movie was the quintessence of 'cute, corny and humorous love story' all rolled into a single, two hour film. Michael Ceras performance as Nick Yidiaris was phenomenal. He is truly THE loveable geek boy. Kat Dennings stared as Norah Silverbug and also gave quite an amazing and believable performance. Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (PG-13) is a fun and humorous goose chase that will keep its audience laughing and on the edge of their seats. The audience can't help but feel compassion and love for the characters in this movie. Overall, this movie was everything expected and more and anyone who sees this movie will want to watch it over and over again.
This movie is recommended for anyone over thirteen or that has the ability to be mature during scenes with 'bad language' or 'mature situations'. Anyone who wants to see this movie will not be disappointed. Although this movie could be considered more of a borderline chick flick, any guy who sees this movie will also enjoy it. Go to your local theatre and catch this flick. It's definitely worth it!

Club dANCE

By Joey Alcala

The famous Club dANCE, located in the heart of West Hollywood at the Legendary Arena, has proven to be the place to go on a Tuesday night. From El Segundo, Club dANCE is probably a 20-30 minute drive; this is not that bad, seeing as that's the distance from this city to Hollywood. Club dANCE is the theme that is held on Tuesday. On other days other clubs exist. For example, on Wednesday there is Club Hip-Hop.  Club dANCE welcomes everyone 18 years or older and offers  three rooms, one is solely for individuals 21 years old or older. The fully lit-up, modernized venue is centered on the theme of Electro-Dance, meaning the DJ's spin house, with music genres such as Electro, NuRave and Mash-up. The club kids are often misjudged by others, but it's a fun club for people who enjoy good techno music and who like to dance. Club dANCE stepped on the scene as of last November. Every Tuesday before 10 pm, party-goers with a coupon can enter for five dollars; others have to pay ten dollars. DJ Paparazzi and DJ Joaquin are the regular DJs that spin at Club dANCE; additional guest DJ appearances are made by Le'Castlevania and other very popular house DJ's.
dANCE is one of those clubs that is very aesthetic and attracts anyone who goes. The people you meet at dANCE are mostly people with style who care about how they look. Therefore, a dress code is enforced upon entering this club. Baggy pants and sloppy clothes are not permitted; those who choose to dress in this manner are not allowed in. Because the dress code is enforced, most people wear flashy, fashionable clothing. Most guys tend to wear tight pants with a v-neck shirt and girls tend to wear semi-skin-showing outfits. Everyone there has to look good and fashionable so most people just go with the simple tight pants with white-t and a vest. Dressing simply but keeping the simplicity up to date is always welcomed. This is a high-class club where people respect others and everyone tries to have a good time. The club is open between the hours of 9:30 pm and 2 am; during this interval, there is non-stop music, dancing and enthusiasm. One of the benefits of entering this club is the free photo shoot that dANCE-goers get to take part in. Club kids line up to pose, smile and go wild in an all-exclusive photo shoot taken by Magnum XL. There are many options as there are three rooms of music, including the option of embarking on the outside patio where people make friends and catch up on life.  Once again, Club dANCE has proven to be a popular club with good music, lights and people.  Ages 18 and above.
