Weather couldn't kill the night. The Student Association small concert rocked the LaSalle parking lot Sunday night, but it didn't get underway until after a half-hour storm delay (lightning) sent a large part of the crowd home. Once the show commenced, it proved to be a hit.
Film: Jobs Release Date: Aug. 16 Studio: Open Road Films Grade: C Open a new tab on your MacBook and try to find a story about Steve Jobs that isn't totally fascinating. After scanning through a detailed Wikipedia page of Jobs' life history, sifting through the footage from any of his exquisitely articulated speeches or browsing the countless web pages that either sing high praise or roar with contempt for the genius Apple Inc. co-founder, it is clear his life has become a vast collection of valuable lessons, triumphs, failures and damn good stories. Jobs made personal computing affordable, simple and stylish; then he revolutionized the way people listen to music, interact with others and entertain their interests on a handheld device - all in about 20 years. Jobs died in 2011 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer, leaving behind more than just an arsenal of the most innovative personal computing technology of the 20th century; he left behind life stories unmatched in ambition and creativity for entrepreneurs of his time. It would be fair to assume a biopic of his life, especially the first to make its way into theatres, would have to match Jobs' ambitious, beautiful life with its own grand display of creativity and innovation, but director Joshua Michael Stern (Swing Vote) comes up empty with Jobs. Jobs would have demanded more from a project with his name on it, and this film is missing exactly what he pushed for at Apple. The film reassures us that Jobs lived a fascinating and extraordinary life, but it misses out on a big opportunity to explore lesser-known details of his life with a closer examination of his character. There is no focus.

Film: Pain & Gain Release Date: April 26 Studio: Paramount Pictures Grade: D- This film is a waste of electricity. Pain & Gain - director Michael Bay's first non-Transformers entry since 2005 - is a brainless exercise of barbaric violence and tasteless humor so surreally awful, it must be seen to be believed. Exhibit A: Daniel Lugo (Mark Wahlberg, Broken City) has just crushed a man to death.
Art is not easily defined by a single word, phrase or definition; art is multifaceted, diverse and encompasses everything from paintings and sculptures to digital projections and clothing designs - it would be near impossible to condense something so wide-ranging into a single, faithful definition. The same can be said for the group of 35 graduating seniors from UB's Department of Visual Studies; these students are as equally multifaceted as the artwork they create.
