The Invisible Woman ??1/2
A little over a year ago, I composed a tweet that went something like, “few things are more intimate than the songs on one’s ‘workout’ playlist.”

Clockwork Kids, a “neo-psychedeic” rock band, was started in 2012 and is made up of five UNC-Chapel Hill students and alums. Reporter Tess Boyle sat down with band members Justin Ellis, Jeff DeLuca and Patrick Carney in preparation for their August 29th show. The event, beginning at 8 p.m., will be the final Locally Grown concert and will feature Clockwork Kids as well as Virgins Family Band and Morning Brigade.

On The Road ???
In an age of overproduced and oversimplified coming-of-age television shows, one might look forward to a future of quality teenaged series. Luckily (for those of us with a Netflix account), this isn’t necessary—in 1999, Paul Feig and Judd Apatow created subtle perfection in “Freaks and Geeks.”
Admission 3 stars
I discovered “Girls” at an unfortunate time: ten months after the release of the series’ pilot episode and the week of all of my midterms. This untimely discovery was one of monumental importance, though. After streaming every episode online over a period of two days, I feel as though I have discovered both the voice of my generation in Lena Dunham and an excellent new form of procrastination through witty self-satire.

In a society with its media dominated by the glamour of youth, any film centered on anyone older than 60 is incredibly refreshing. Even though “Quartet,” directed by Dustin Hoffman and based on Ronald Harwood’s play, lacks believability and action and is filled with predictability, it does ignite a passion for life.
Amor de Dias, formed in 2009 by Alasdair MacLean (The Clientele) and Lupe Nunez-Fernandez (Pipas), pairs a mix of English and Spanish lyrics with a dreamy, peaceful sound. The band’s second album, The House at Sea, is soothing and often whisper-like: perfect for listening to on a lazy and contemplative rainy day.
Tegan and Sara Heartthrob 2.5 stars Pop
Tom Hooper’s “Les Misérables” lacks subtlety, dialogue, and editing (158 minutes is, in fact, uncomfortably long), however, certain actors and moments and the epic nature of the project make it worth the price of admission.
Pi Patel’s journey is described as one “that would make you believe in God.” Although Ang Lee’s “Life of Pi” probably won’t have this effect on the majority of its viewers, it will definitely make audience members believe in the power of good actors and amazing graphics.
The quintessential coming-of-age film and one of the most influential films of all time celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, a milestone that rightfully has been and will continue to be highly commemorated.
In a postmodern look at the interconnectivity among people and events of the past, present and the future, “Cloud Atlas” is a film that will leave viewers feeling as though they’ve just experienced something unquestionably profound. It will not necessarily, however, leave viewers feeling completely satisfied.
