HBO's The Penguin Kills

HBO’s The Penguin Kills

Brandon Coon, Faculty Adviser November 18, 2024

Kirie Goshima (originally voiced by Uki Sataki and voiced by Abby Trott in the US dub) stares out at the town in the first episode of the Uzukami anime. Notice the small details around the eyes and how sharp the lines of the hair are. That level of detail is gone in the rest of the series, one of many downgrades that make Uzumaki the most frustrating television project this year.

Spiraling Out of Control

Kendan Cartwright, Staff Writer November 16, 2024

Five years ago, anime fans were stunned by an announcement at Crunchyroll Expo 2019: legendary manga artist Junji Ito was going to get a four-episode Adult Swim series adapting his most famous work Uzumaki....

Kelly Macdonald, Damian Lewis, Bo Bragason, and Harry Baxendale star as the titular family in The Radleys. Based on the best-selling novel by Matt Haig, this suburban vampire story has a decent premise but isn't nearly as interesting or entertaining as it tries to be.

Don’t Expect to Be Rattled

Alex Lyman, Staff Writer November 14, 2024

The Radley family has a pretty big secret: they’re vampires. But here’s the twist—they’ve chosen not to drink blood and are trying to live a normal suburban life. Things take a dramatic turn when...

Venom: The Last Dance is an action packed movie. This movie brings comedy and action together, making it a worth while watch.

The Ultimate Symbiote Showdown

Alex Lyman, Staff Writer November 7, 2024

When the first Venom movie released in 2018, few people expected it to be a hit. With a lesser-known superhero and a mix of humor and action, the film seemed risky, but it ended up making over $850 million...

The poster and marketing for Smile 2 feature an image of pop star Skye Riley (Naomi Scott) with a smile ripped across her mouth. Smile 2, an R-rated film now in theatres, is a scary joyride that outdoes the intensity of the original.

The new Netflix movie It’s What’s Inside is a trippy confusing movie. The story line had so much potential but it did not live up to the expectations.

What’s Inside? Not Much

The new Netflix thriller It’s What’s Inside had potential to be a good movie but the way it was filmed deprived it from being good. The movie scored a 57% according to Metacritic. The movie received...

The Wild Robot is an animated story about found family in the most unlikely of places that is getting great reviews from both audience and critics: it has a 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an A CinemaScore.

A Wildly Heartwarming Film

Kendan Cartwright, Staff Writer October 22, 2024

October isn't a usual month for new family-friendly animated films—these tend to come out when little kids aren't in school, like during the summer or holiday weekends. Hopefully, that doesn't keep audiences...

Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) resists the abusive guards at Arkham Asylum in Joker: Folie a Deux. Unfortunately, this picture also represents how many audience members felt after watching this disjointed and off-putting movie, as judging from the overwhelming critical, audience, and fan reactions coming out of the film's opening weekend.

The Joke’s on Us for Watching

Alex Lyman, Staff Writer October 7, 2024

In 2019, Warner Bros. released a gritty throwback to late seventies and early eighties films like Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy featuring one of DC Comics' most iconic villains: the Joker. Both fans...

Uglies is an Ugly Flick

Kendan Cartwright, Staff Writer September 25, 2024
