REVIEW: ‘Tiger King’ is the perfect antidote to quarantine-induced boredom
Lauren Coates, Contributing Writer
April 1, 2020
I’ll be the first to admit that documentaries aren’t the first thing I jump to when I have the chance to sit down and watch tv, but Netflix’s “The Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness” is such a mind-boggling whirlwind of a miniseries that it may have changed my opinion on the genre as a whole. Le...

REVIEW: Ben Affleck shines in melodrama of ‘The Way Back’
Nate Burleyson, Assistant Sports Editor
March 8, 2020
Let’s just start by saying that “The Way Back” is not a basketball movie. It is not a movie about sports or a feel-good story about a basketball team on glory road. It tries, desperately at times, to be more than that — sometimes it works and sometimes it does not. But Ben Affleck’s performance a...

REVIEW: ‘Love is Blind’ revamps dating show formula, ‘brilliantly bonkers’
Lacey Latch, Print Managing Editor
March 1, 2020
As a hopeless romantic who seems to be perpetually single, I know my way around reality dating shows – they offer the perfect balance of reinforcing that love is in fact real and that I am still not desperate enough to sign up for one of these competitions. Whether it be watching women compete for F...

Shane René, Editor-in-Chief
March 1, 2020
No matter the medium or the genre, characters are essential to storytelling; they are the heart and soul of any good film or TV show. If the writers and directors can’t get you to care about a character's fate, the story isn’t worth telling. This is why we hear critics and cinephiles groan on and on ...
REVIEW: ‘Avenue 5’’s blend of science fiction and comedy is accessible — and kinda scary
Shane René, Editor-in-Chief
February 24, 2020
I’ve always been repelled by the science fiction genre. All those spaceships and aliens and pseudo-scientific jargon — it’s nauseating. It always felt so childish and repetitive. But maybe I’m just a grumpy old man. The truth is, my distaste for science fiction is born of my own flaws; namely a stu...
