Hugo
“Scorsese uses contempor-ary special effects to tell a story about the earliest cinema. While many movies this year all seemed to disappoint, Hugo proved to be an unexpectedly fantastic 3D film.”

Breaking Bad
“This television series is set apart from all others because the characters continue to progress and regress throughout the show. You begin to sympathize with one character who evolves into the anti-hero. T.V. has come a long way.”

Iva Bittová
Iva Bittová is a violinist and vocalist from the Czech Republic whose talent and creativity are inspiring. “As music majors, we listen to what we study—whether it is classical, jazz or world music.

Eight Steps to Happiness
by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
“Currently, I have gotten into both art-related and spiritual books.” To keep up with the times, Professor Tennesen has been listening to audio books during her two-hour commute. “They are great for long drives, where the radio becomes dull and you want to listen to something new. Audio books are gaining popularity as multi-tasking in America has become a common phenomenon.”
