In “Entourage,” the film adaptation of the identically-named HBO series, main characters Vince (Adrian Grenier), Ari (Jeremy Piven), Eric (Kevin Connolly), Turtle (Jerry Ferrara) and Johnny Drama (Kevin Dillon) are up to their old antics. Unfortunately, this old routine falls flat on the big screen. “Entourage” chronicles the crew’s struggle to produce the risky movie “Hyde” in Hollywood. However, the film is only tenuously held together by a string of star cameos, crass one-liners and topless girls. While director Doug Ellin gives viewers a glimpse into the materialism and superficiality of Hollywood, it’s at the expense of a virtually plotless film.

Fox released its pilot episode of its new sitcom “Weird Loners” last week. Unfortunately, based on the predictable plot and cringeworthy attempts at humor in the show’s “Weird Pilot,” the series doesn’t look promising. The setup is intriguing: four single New Yorkers are unexpectedly forced together after tumultuous life events untether them from their respective jobs, homes or relationships. However, the pilot plays out like an unhumorous “New Girl,” and the overblown performances render the setup entirely unconvincing. For lack of a better description, “Weird Pilot” was just a little weird.

The University is a serious school. Wahoos are serious about academics, social lives, and tradition. And when it comes to our selective comedy groups, we’re serious about humor.

Here at the University, we love our a cappella. We adore our artsy folk concerts on the Downtown Mall, and our live bands during afternoon philanthropies. But one of the more underrated gems which makes up the Charlottesville arts scene is comedy. This past weekend, as comedy group La Petite Teet showcased its particular brand of saucy humor in its final show of the spring semester, it became clear the skillfully-crafted laughs produced on Grounds are not to be overlooked.

Sometimes the University feels like the set of “Pitch Perfect.” With A Capella Ball and sorority Big Sis week serenades, the talented voices in our midst just can’t be ignored. In helping to launch the start of the semester’s a cappella concert season, all-female a cappella group Hoos In Treble presented their spring concert, “HIT gets Fit,” last Saturday, displaying impressive voices and touching sentimentality.

The University Spanish department’s production of “Idiotas contemplando la nieve,” translated as “Idiots Contemplating the Snow,” last week marked the 32nd year of Spanish theater at the University of Virginia.

Print is everywhere — it spells out the Bodo’s menu board, constitutes the reading assignments spat out by HP Deskjets everywhere and fills the pages of The Cavalier Daily print editions appearing in distribution boxes every Monday and Thursday. Few people give the process of printmaking much attention because of its ubiquity. Few people, that is, besides Jasper Johns.

Lady Gaga’s back, and she’s more outrageous than ever. Her newest album, “ARTPOP,” which debuted earlier this month, pushes the envelope, integrating thumping bass with guttural chanting and bizarre lyrical analogies.

Award-winning documentary “Our Nixon,” part of the Virginia Film Festival, drew a mixed crowd of students and Charlottesville locals to Newcomb Theater Sunday afternoon. Touted by Miller Center researcher Ken Hughes as a “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern perspective on Nixon,” the film presents never-before-seen footage from the home videos of Nixon’s three closest aides, H. R. Haldeman, John Ehrlichman and Dwight Chapin. The amateur tapes of the mens’ White House experiences chronicle their deep friendship and eventual humiliation after the infamous Watergate scandal.

Singer-songwriter Toby Keith’s latest album, “Drinks After Work,” delivers the country singer’s signature blend of charming twang, inventive lyrics and line-dance rhythm. “Drinks After Work” is Keith’s 17th release and marks the 20-year anniversary of his first album, “Toby Keith.”

Stephen Guirgis’ “The Motherf***er with the Hat,” aptly christened by The New York Times as “the play that dare not speak its name,” tackles the complexity of relationships, substance abuse and truth with the ferocity one might expect from its title. Live Arts, the volunteer theater on Charlottesville’s Downtown Mall, ran a spot-on interpretation of the play Oct. 11 through Nov. 9 with brilliant performances and set design complementing the admittedly profanity-riddled script. The production offered audiences a thought-provoking interpretation of the relevance of morality.

Reflecting on my own college admissions essays, I’m forced to acknowledge the precocious nature of my humble-bragging 17-year-old self. But after attending Spectrum Theatre’s performance of “Voices of the Class” this past weekend, I can at least take solace in the fact that I am not as humorously self-aware as the applicant who used his or her essay to declare, “Approval is my kryptonite.”
