"AHS" season 4 opener foreshadows deliciously disturbing season
October 10, 2014
By Isabelle Rogers Entertainment Editor After three seasons of watching Jessica Lange play twisted and cruel characters perfectly, I was incredibly disappointed to see Lange’s new part not as well played as before. The combination of her horrible attempt at a german accent and a very dislikable fl...

This Is Where I Leave you offers good performances in a Lifetime movie plot
September 22, 2014
By Garrett Strother Entertainment Editor Sometimes a movie equals less than the sum of its parts. This Is Where I Leave You offers a phenomenal ensemble cast all playing fairly well developed characters who unfortunately seem trapped in a made for TV movie. Judd Altman is a down-on-his-luck former radio...
"No Good Deed"; phenomenal performances, mediocre movie
September 17, 2014
By Marci Kiszkiel Entertainment Editor I didn’t enter the theatre with very high expectations for Sam Miller’s No Good Deed. Despite a promising cast composed of Idris Elba and Taraji P. Henson, commercials for the film led to me believe I was in for another horror film that relied entirely on jump-scares to ...
Comic Con connects students
September 17, 2014
By Caroline Binley Copy Editor In 110 hours, junior Tyler Ekker could have done a lot. He could have seen a new movie, gone downtown or spent time with friends. In fact, when put back-to-back, all those hours add up to four and a half days, so Ekker could’ve done all three with time to spare. However,...

Local anti-Disneyer's heart not completely made of ice
June 4, 2014
By Ellen Siefke Editor-in-Chief WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD. Those of you who failed to pay attention at the beginning of the school year — don't worry, it happens to the best of us — may not have read a certain column written by yours truly decrying Disney. Thus, it should come as no surprise tha...
'X-Men: Days of Future Past' a confusing title, phenomenal movie
May 28, 2014
By Garrett Strother Entertainment Editor The latest installment of the X-Men franchise ties together 2011's 60's-set "X-Men: First Class" and the original modern day trilogy, while wisely choosing to almost wholly ignore the train wrecks that were "The Wolverine" and "X-Men Origins: Wolverine." "X-Men: D...
Seth Rogen, Zac Efron revel in raunchy humor
May 13, 2014
By Iulia Vesel Opinion Editor In case you see Seth Rogen’s picture popping up on one of AMC’s advertising posters, the first and only thing you should do is go back home, get your wallet, come back and buy a ticket, because you’re in for a treat. Seth Rogen’s not only painfully funny, but he can a...
"The Amazing Spider-Man 2" takes on too much to handle
May 6, 2014
By Caroline Binley Copy Editor Even the worst superhero movies have a few redeeming qualities. It’s hilarious how seriously “Ghost Rider” takes itself, Peggy Carter has enough brilliant lines in “Captain America: The First Avenger” to make everything else OK, and “The Incredible Hulk” and “Green ...
