Film - Treasures of Netflix: 'Hoop Dreams' (1994)

Netflix: the best $7.99 your parents will spend each month. I love my unlimited access to The West Wing and Toddlers and Tiaras, but lately I’ve realized that for every Breaking Bad you peruse, there is a Troll 2 or Birdemic: Shock and Terror crouching in a shadowy alley trying to sell you counterfeit Rolexes.With such an Everest of content to sift through, it can be intimidating to sort the good from the questionably good from the unquestionably bad, I'm well aware. That’s why Treasures of Netflix is here - I want to give you entry points into genres and obscure films you may not otherwise try.I will start this series with a documentary, not because I’m a die-hard purist who believes fictional filmmaking are inherently inferior arts, but rather because I found a really, really good one: Hoop Dreams.Back in 1994, it was called “the best documentary ever” by Roger Ebert, but was snubbed by the Academy – not even receiving a nomination.

Terrace Preview - Vulfpeck

Vulfpeck knows all about groove. When they perform, heads start to bob, feet start stomping on their own. The listener gets lost in the repetition, pulled into the pulse. It’s a certain kind of energy that’s difficult to define yet impossible to ignore, and it’s precisely the kind of energy that defines the music of Vulfpeck. The band, based out of Michigan, consists of five guys (Jack Stratton, Theo Katzman, Woody Goss, Joey Dosik, and Joe Dart). Their serious reputation for groove proceeds them, as nearly half a million youtube views suggest. And they’re fun to watch. Good thing for you, they're heading to Terrace tomorrow night.
