“Midway,” released on Friday, Nov. 8, was just in the Atlas Atlantic Cinema last Thursday night. This is a World War II movie based on a “real account” of the battle of Midway (according to the beginning credits). As always, there will probably be spoilers ahead.

No Jokes About It: A “Joker” Review

Grace Clay, Editor
October 17, 2019
A couple weeks ago, Warner Bros. released the latest DC Comics movie about the most infamous Batman villain, Joker. This movie is not for the faint at heart, nor is it for the faint stomach. It's rated R, and that's for good reason, folks. I would not recommend this movie for your 2 year olds, or probably ...

October 2, 2019
I am one of the many who have a Netflix account. I also am one of those who don’t use it as often as I should, especially because of the double-digit number that follows the dollar sign attached to the monthly usage fee, even if you don’t watch one minute of one show. And finally, when I do use it, ...

My Top Ten Songs of the 1990s

Grace Clay, Editor
April 25, 2019
The '90s were full of crop tops and computers. It was the decade of classic sitcoms such as “FRIENDS,” “Seinfeld,” and “Fresh Prince of Bel Air.” It was also the decade of hip hop, my mom’s personal favorite genre (although she rarely ever listens to it). Although, hip hop had rode to f...

Grace Clay, Editor
April 22, 2019
I am usually not a podcast person but I heard an advertisement for “DISGRACELAND” (a rock n’ roll true crime podcast) on my favorite radio station, 101.9 The Keg. I decided I should check it out because it combines two of my absolute favorite things: true crime, and rock n’ roll. Almost ...
