Films to Stream in Quarantine: Justice League The Movie: An Injustice To Comics

By: Isaac Linnen After HBO announced (to much fanfare and criticism) the release of at least one major motion picture each month on its new streaming service HBO Max, it stunned fans with even more critical news: The Justice League film released several years ago was being re-released as “Director’s Cut” for streaming in late March. This cut allegedly presents the film as originally shot … Continue reading Films to Stream in Quarantine: Justice League The Movie: An Injustice To Comics

Films to Stream in Quarantine: “Rogue” Movie Review

By:  Ashley Pope  One movie I recommend is “Rogue”. It is a movie about a female agent that rescued the governor’s daughter from sex trafficking. What I really loved about the movie is how throughout every scene they underestimated the agent and questioned her leadership. The plot twist is at the very end where she got the governor’s daughter out alive and rescued herself too. … Continue reading Films to Stream in Quarantine: “Rogue” Movie Review

Films to Stream in Quarantine: John Adams: Only One Man

By: Veronica Kogan Let’s face it—do you really know what John Adams did for the birth of the U.S.? From my experience in history class, John Adams is a name you hear once or twice and forget shortly thereafter. I’ve always thought the main players in the birth of America were only George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin, and Alexander Hamilton. “Hamilton” the musical made … Continue reading Films to Stream in Quarantine: John Adams: Only One Man

Films to Stream in Quarantine: Mulan is Still Magic

By: Emily Papleux (I will not be talking about the live action remake.) The movie I will be reviewing is Mulan. I love how she has a romantic aspect in her story, but also how the story isn’t driven solely on that aspect. She, as a woman (in her setting) is expected to pour tea perfectly, or have perfect posture and elegant silk dresses. But … Continue reading Films to Stream in Quarantine: Mulan is Still Magic

Quarantine Netflix Show/Movie Review

By: Emily Papleux The Vampire Diaries: I would give this series a 9/10 rating. Though it may come off as the stereotypical cliché tv show in which a girl falls in love with vampires, this show is binge-worthy and is filled with sarcasm, witty jokes and lots of action. The reason its not a full rating is because it’s a little serious, not made for light … Continue reading Quarantine Netflix Show/Movie Review

Movie Review: The Lazarus Effect

There seems to be a common trend in horror movies that there is becoming little to no horror in the movie. It’s said when a movie can’t live up to its expectation, but this is not the case for The Lazarus Effect. The Lazarus Effect actually is a horror movie, it has its fair share of cliches, but what movie doesn’t have it’s cliches, especially a horror … Continue reading Movie Review: The Lazarus Effect
