Erik Jimenez/Staff Writer With the release of the first “Fast & Furious” spinoff: “Hobbs & Shaw”, I was able to appreciate the evolution of the franchise from it’s earlier entries, which focused more on the underground racing scene and how natural it felt for it to transition to more heists and spy tactics; all […]
Erik Jimenez/Staff Writer If I’m being honest, I would probably consider “Once Upon A Time in Hollywood” to Quentin Tarantino “worst” film to date. Even if it’s not top-tier Tarantino, it’s still has too many positives coming from Tarantino’s signature style of directing that I would still recommend Tarantino fans and those who want […]
Erik Jimenez/Staff Writer The Pokémon franchise has always been one of Nintendo’s greatest hits, by guaranteeing quality in all aspects of the franchise, especially for fans who grew up with it. While films based on Pokémon have hit theaters before, none were in live action. And the result, while somewhat average for regular pictures, […]
Blair Taylor/Contributing Writer For the fourth year in a row, Geek Culture Club and the Japanese Consulate came together last weekend to host Cool Japan, an FIU based convention that blends Japanese traditional and pop culture. Between gaming tournaments and karaoke, there were plenty of activities for the attendees to experience and enjoy during Saturday’s […]
Rashawn Raysor/Staff Writer Winter is now closer than its ever been. On Sunday, April 14, the eighth and final season of HBO’s “Game of Thrones” will premiere, and with the final season, months away plenty of questions of what will happen and how the show will end are arising. With several fan theories circulating online, […]
Julian Balboa/Staff Writer Nina cried power and Hozier cried harder, I guess. His new EP, “Nina Cried Power,” arrives after almost two quiet years following his contribution to the live-action Tarzan film. His debut album was released in 2013, which makes this new EP his first project in over five years. For most artists, especially […]
Erik Jimenez/Staff Writer If coming a mere five months after the heavily divisive “The Last Jedi” wasn’t bad enough for “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” it’s dodgy production is another reason to be concerned. When Disney bought Lucasfilm and announced a Han Solo origin film, head of Lucasfilm Kathleen Kennedy hired former Star Wars screenwriter […]
Julian Balboa/Staff Writer Tupelo, Mississippi sibling-duo Rae Sremmurd are back at it again for their third album of fun youthful trap with producer Mike WiLL-Made-It, a producer that I personally feel is one of the most innovative in an increasingly oversaturated genre of music. With generic release after generic release, it seems like no one […]
Evan Balikos/Contributing Writer Arctic Monkeys return to music after being under the radar for five years with an unexpected approach to their sound. Their latest release has been likened to lounge pop: a genre of easy-listening music that matches the promoted themes of relaxing and hypnotic that the band had cryptically advertised. In addition to this […]
By Dalton Tevlin There is no question that Drake has been running not just the rap game, but music for the last decade or so. Since the release of “So Far Gone” and even up his recent project, “More Life”, he has continued to evolve and change as an artist in a way not many can […]
By Erik Jimenez In the tradition of recent January war film such as “Lone Survivor,” “American Sniper,” and “13 Hours,” “12 Strong” brings up an amazing true story about our wars in the middle east and the soldiers who fought in them. The film differentiates itself from the others by telling the declassified true story of […]
