The Big Wedding

The Big Wedding

By Elise Echeverria, Staff Writer May 20, 2013

The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby

By Taylor Knudson, Staff Writer May 20, 2013

Baz Luhrmann films are sort of like the Kardashian sisters of the movie industry. They’re pretty, loud, and unjustifiably rich. In a sense, “The Great Gatsby” movie adaptation feels almost as if...

Warm Bodies

By Alia Newman-Boulle, Staff Writer March 4, 2013

To say that zombies are becoming as overused in today’s culture as vampires once were is an understatement. “The Walking Dead,” “Left 4 Dead,” and even “Plants vs. Zombies” are just a few...

Safe Haven

Safe Haven

By Kylie Necochea, Staff Writer February 21, 2013

Hair clomped between a large hair clip that could pass as the kind that keep chip bags closed and body loosely encompassed by an over-sized, dreary colored hoodie, I filed into the dimly lit theater in...

"Mama"

“Mama”

By Andrew Walker, Staff Writer February 20, 2013

“Mama” is a nightmare of maternal instincts that comes very close to stepping over the PG-13 line many times during the movie. This was no splatter fest; the faint of heart will feel at ease when they...
