Known online as Markiplier, Fishbach built his career as a gaming YouTuber focused on personality-driven content. Over the years, he has also self-directed several ‘choose your own […]
By Michael Andrillon | Staff Writer A concept that rings of “12 Angry Men” meets “Minority Report” only to, in actuality, start like “The Purge” and end like last year’s “War of the Worlds”. Veteran detective Chris Raven, played by Chris Pratt, in the near future, must prove his innocence under a new judicial system […]
By Dylan Masvidal | Staff Writer Does Sam Raimi have a place in modern Hollywood? By no means is that a question of age or audience fatigue, but of practice. Studios aren’t too interested in the maximalist anymore, and they especially don’t care about rewarding those who kept them afloat. Post-“Drag Me to Hell” Raimi […]
By Michael Andrillon | Staff Writer Who would’ve thought a trip through one’s own personal hellscape of monsters and madness would be this boring? It is now approaching 20 years since director Christophe Gans was in the driver’s seat of the very first Silent Hill movie. A flawed but noble attempt at adapting the first […]
By Charles Salom | Staff Writer “No Other Choice”, directed by the legendary South Korean filmmaker Park Chan-Wook, delves into masculinity, labor exploitation, and the human need to survive. It’s a brilliant display from a filmmaker who has truly mastered his craft in writing, cinematography, and editing. It also easily stands out as one of […]

Gabriela Danger | Opinion director On Dec. 4, the second Five Nights at Freddy’s movie came out in theaters, and the internet hasn’t been able to put it down. That makes sense, considering the first film, released in 2023, is Blumhouse’s biggest hit to date, grossing $300 million globally and making Freddy’s an instant success, […]
By Conor Moore | Staff Writer After the eternal misfire that was, well, “Eternals”, Chloe Zhao proves she is quite capable of achieving the visual magnetism required to be an Oscar-winning, “it” director. Unfortunately, this comes at the cost of what can only be described as cinematic fondant. While “Hamnet” is superficially moving and relishes […]
By Sophia Noya | Staff Writer Nobody in all of Oz (including me!) is missing out on Wicked: For Good, which has enjoyed an enormous opening week and overall positive reviews. As a Broadway fan who, like everybody else, walked out of watching Wicked feeling like I had just witnessed Cynthia Erivo invent electricity, I’ve […]
By Dylan Masvidal | Staff Writer Hoo-ah, hoo-ah! One kooky catchphrase is all it took to steal the hearts and minds of audiences in the late winter of 1992. Well, that and the alien artiste known by us earthlings as Al Pacino. Devouring the scenery has never been lost on the man, despite the rather […]
By Karen Alava | Staff Writer After months of anticipation, Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein has finally come to life on Netflix. The gothic reimagining, which premiered earlier this year in select theaters, is now streaming and it’s already sparking both admiration and debate. Del Toro, known for his love of misunderstood monsters (Pan’s Labyrinth, The […]
Dylan Masvidal | Staff Writer Despite its seasonal adjacency, marrying the thick, romantic atmosphere of the fall film with Halloween’s suffocating dread is rarely put into practice. What a “shocking” surprise that M. Night Shyamalan was a priest in said matrimony before it was cool. As a devout believer in the Shyamalan faith, returning to […]
