We as a nation are divided by many things, whether it’s by race, gender, religion, wealth, etc.—and at the end of the day, no one is treated fairly. However, there are those who treat others with respect, equality, and are accepting of others; and there are those who discriminate against others for looking , sounding, and being different. We can’t expect to be treated equally and fairly by everyone, even by our own governments. “If you think for one second that the capitol w

“Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses.” This is an infamous quote from the Ancient Roman poet Juvenal, from his work Satire X (c. 100 CE), which has been more recently and recognizably summarized in the expression “give them bread and c

Wes Craven’s Scream (1996) didn’t just revitalize a dying slasher subgenre; it completely reinvented the architecture of modern horror. By injecting sharp, meta-fictional wit into Kevin Williamson’s brilliant screenplay, the film delivered a culture-shifting masterpiece that remains the ultimate gold standard for self-aware cinema. It managed to subvert every established rule of the genre while simultaneously executing them with terrifying precision. The film grips audience

What makes movies like The Thing so horrifying? What is it about something trying to look like us that causes such intense anxiety? John Carpenter’s The Thing (1982), remains an iconic piece of horror history due to how it uses our fear of pretenders and isolation to invade our minds. The Isolation The film is set on an American base in Antarctica, one of the most isolated places for humans to be. The cast is effectively grounded in that location, and they have no real mean

“I could die, I used to think if it happened, it happened, but now that would make Coco an orphan, and I cannot die” - Character, Rosita Espinosa (The Walking Dead) We all have something we cherish in this life, maybe as of this moment you have it or you lost it. I had something I cherished, something I wished I payed more attention to, something I could never get back, but back then when I did have them, they meant everything to me. I would have fought for them and lived for

"It’s easy to feel hopeful on a beautiful day like today, but there will be dark days ahead of us too, there’ll be days where you feel all alone, and that’s when hope is needed most. No matter how buried it gets, or how lost you feel, you must promise me, that you will hold on to hope” - Character Gwen Stacy (The Amazing Spider-man 2) No matter who we are, we all face the same challenges in college at one point in our lives. College is never easy, the work is hard and there

On July 31, 2026, the highly anticipated fourth installment of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man films finally released after nearly five years since the series’ last film. Audiences were eager to see what Marvel’s web-slinger had in store for them this past summer blockbuster season, especially after such a long waiting period and a recent phenomenon of what some have come to define as “superhero fatigue.” In recent years, audiences have seemed to take less interest in superhero rela

Robert Duvall as Kilgore and Francis Ford Coppola, on the set of Apocalypse Now If you have ever had the displeasure of talking to me in recent times, then you will know I will mention Francis Ford Coppola’s 1979 ‘war epic’ masterpiece, Apocalypse Now, at least once, or twice… or perhaps even a daring ‘thrice.’ This film, at its core, is a story—a tale to be told; above that, in its stratosphere, satire. The film follows Cap, Benjamin L. Willard (Martin Sheen), a Green B

If you’re searching for a worthwhile TV show to indulge in, The Boys is a great one to consider. The Boys is a highly popular, critically acclaimed show known for its dark satire, action scenes, and unique take on the superhero genre. The show follows Hughie Campbell, an average city citizen who works at a small tech company in service and installation. Suddenly, his world is altered forever when his girlfriend is accidently killed by A-Train, a member of The Seven, which is

I would like to start by saying that I am not a baker by any means. The only time I ever enter the kitchen is to eat food that someone else has already made or to throw a microwave meal into the microwave. Yet recently, my life was changed (for good) by the movie Wicked. In the spirit of trying new things and seeing that the movie was free for streaming, I decided to put it on and see what all the hype was about. Turns out, I was missing out on one of my favorite movies to da

Love. This word, four letters long, is meant to be something raw, something real. It is something that everyone dreams of having and looks forward to in their life. At least it's the version that I learned. This version didn't come from real life for me. It came from movies. It was the kind where two people hated each other in the beginning. They slowly fall madly in love until something is exposed when one person leaves, then the other does whatever it takes to win them back

Intro When you think of Las Vegas, it’s impossible not to think of casinos and shows. So, it makes sense that its reputation makes its way into videogames like Fallout: New Vegas . Though New Vegas draws on an older version of Las Vegas. For context, Fallout: New Vegas is a game that takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where bombs were dropped sometime in 2077. The game holds a vintage feel, drawing from styles from the 1940s and 50s; it uses music, clothing, and ling
