'Sinners' strikes a chord with its strong messaging

‘Sinners’ strikes a chord with its strong messaging

By Mariana Contreras, Newsletter Editor • May 2, 2025
Within the last decade, writer-director Ryan Coogler has cast Michael B. Jordan in six of his most significant projects. The dynamic, disruptive duo come back together to make “Sinners” as action-packed as “Creed” and as profound as “Black Panther.” At its heart, the film celebrates Black culture throughout history in an unexpected commentary about white supremacy and its impact on Black communities. 
'Until Dawn' adapts its source material poorly

‘Until Dawn’ adapts its source material poorly

By Nolan Sheehan, Staff Writer • April 30, 2025
Attempting to build off of a popular video game with different story direction, “Until Dawn” is an adaptation that fails to follow the blueprint. Directed by David F. Sandberg, this film goes to great lengths to make itself unique in how it presents its horror.
'Daredevil: Born Again' is a return to form for the Marvel Cinematic Universe

‘Daredevil: Born Again’ is a return to form for the Marvel Cinematic Universe

By Will Caron, Staff Writer • April 25, 2025
Created by Dario Scardapane, Matt Corman and Chris Ord, “Daredevil: Born Again” holds to the heart of the original Netflix series, of which this show is a direct continuation of. The season sees the return of Charlie Cox as Matthew Murdock/Daredevil, the now retired vigilante and full-time lawyer, following a tragedy that changes his life forever.

Breakthrough artist delivers on his debut album, ‘Malcolm Todd’

By Mariana Contreras, Newsletter Editor • April 18, 2025
Almost two years after his launch to fame with the release of his single “Roommates,” Malcolm Todd dropped his first studio album on April 4. Having opened for Omar Apollo and performed in festivals like Governor's Ball and Lollapalooza, Todd has practiced his stage presence despite starting his music career during the pandemic and will be going on tour starting May. With the singles going viral, the small taste of the album set up a good precedent for the rest of the songs.
'A Minecraft Movie' doesn't chicken out from being itself

‘A Minecraft Movie’ doesn’t chicken out from being itself

By Allison Dolan, Staff Writer • April 9, 2025
“A Minecraft Movie,” directed by Jared Hess, is the film adaptation of the formative video game. The film released April 4 and was highly anticipated despite the trailers receiving backlash from fans. Good comedic writing and some strong performances help to make up for the poorly developed characters and questionable plot.
