In Review: Dark Shadows 3 out of 5 stars Run time: 113 minutes Rated PG-13 Opens tomorrow at Regal Davis Stadium 5, 420 G St. In the grand scheme of cinematic vampires, Barnabas Collins is, honestly, kind of a square. He’s too gentlemanly to be scary, like Nosferatu or Dracula. His wardrobe is perpetually 200 […]

Shelly Gilbride decided that because she wasn’t teaching or writing she would do something crazy: start a flash mob in Davis. “[It happened] when I wrote a paper about people engaging in art not only in classrooms or dance halls,” said Gilbride about starting a flash mob. Not only did she decide to do something […]

As of last week, Alexis Neiers is married. The 20-year-old onetime reality star and “Bling Ring” member got hitched in Mexico to Evan Haines, a Canadian business owner. When I found this news out, not only did my jaw drop, but also my entire weekend turned into a marathon of her reality show. Now, if […]

Kaylee Williams, 22, is a senior hydrology major at UC Davis. She and her brother Ryan, 24, make up the band The Native Sibling.

On Monday, The Shins played at the Mondavi Center and filled the sold-out place to the brim with their musical vibrancy. James Mercer, with his singularly potent talent and his variously skilled supporting cast, jingled on stage with their often wistful, strangely melancholic, yet joyful tunes. They performed for about an hour and a half, […]

I’m sure I speak for a majority of college students when I say that our favorite activity of the day, besides eating, is watching television. We may claim to be extremely busy and exhausted, but at the end of the day we find 30 minutes to fit in an episode of “Modern Family” to reward […]

After the spectacle that was the Florence + The Machine concert on April 18, I have strong suspicions that Jackson Hall at the Mondavi Center was inspired and built for Florence Welch’s voice. This show sold out during pre-sale, leaving many students confused and frustrated that they either 1) didn’t embrace their American Express cards […]
