Taylor Park, Staff Reporter
March 10, 2020
“The Invisible Man” yanks its audience through increasingly distressing twists and turns, disorienting what you thought you knew about the plot, leaving you squirming in your seat. Every time I thought I had figured out the main plot of the movie, there would be an unpredictable scene that threw...

Rodrigo Gutierrez, Staff Reporter
February 11, 2020
“Gretel and Hansel” retells the classic grim tale from the perspective of Gretel but offers little to no intrigue in its adaptation. Directed by Oz Perkins, the adaptation brings little action to keep the audience at the edge of the seat and turns out to be creepy than scary. At the beginning...

Nathalia Moran, Staff Reporter
October 22, 2019
They’re creepy, they’re kooky and they’ve come back. The ‘60s story of the Addams family, an unorthodox family, inclined to like all that is dreary, black or dead, is revived in this animated film. In this story, Gomez and Morticia Addams (Oscar Isaac and Charlize Theron) have been run...
Is Streaming Destroying the Movie Theater Business?
Andrew Jaramillo, Staff Reporter
October 22, 2019
While streaming has made accessing movie and television content a breeze, I can’t see movie theaters becoming obsolete because of it.
