Take Life By The Horns: Run Lola Run Movie Review

Every second of every day you’re faced with a decision that can change your life. 

Lola receives a frantic phone call from her boyfriend Manni through a payphone. Manni lost the bag of 100,000 DM (Deutsche Mark) on a subway train to a homeless man. Losing the money could very well mean certain death for at least one of them. Lola has 20 minutes to raise 100,000 DM and meet Manni at the payphone. Otherwise, Manni will rob a nearby grocery store to raise the funds for his safety.

Empire of the Sun Concert Review at the Greek Theater

The first weekend of May, I was definitely “Walking on a Dream” or walking on pins and needles as I endured two back-to-back concerts on Friday and Saturday. Despite the way my feet and voice felt, I was happy to be “Alive” because I got to see Empire of the Sun perform on Saturday in Berkley’s Greek Theater.

Manifestation: More Than Just Wishful Thinking

You’ve probably heard the term “manifestation” thrown around a lot lately. It’s that buzzword people use when they talk about visualizing your dreams and making them a reality.

So, in another life, who would we be? Let’s find out.

If you tuned into the Nintendo Spotlight during E3 2017, you’ll probably recognize this image.

This is where then-president of Nintendo of America said one of his most famous quotes:

“If it’s not fun, why bother?”

It sounds cliché, and may seem like nothing more than a platitude, but this quote has dictated my philosophy on gaming for years.
