I hate the number four. I have absolutely no reason to hate the number four, but the sound, the look and the way my fingers feel spelling out that dreaded number makes me cringe as if somebody put nails to a chalkboard. Seem odd? Maybe quirky? Crazy? It is.
“Sons a Witches” takes a stab at male culture in an interestingly funny way. While not necessarily as funny as other episodes, it is still a great time despite including another Cartman/Heidi subplot that terribly detracts from the main plot.
When I walked into Sursa Hall this more than a week ago for a choir concert, I couldn't help but notice something seemed different.
“Hummels & Heroin” has some decent commentary about how the elderly are treated, but every other aspect of the episode falls on its face. The humor never gets off the ground. The new characters are boring tropes and the returning cast does nothing remotely interesting in the situation.
'Middle-earth: Shadow of War' expands and improves on its predecessor in almost every way from longer story, deeper character interaction and development between them, abilities, loot and upgrades and the Nemesis System. Despite these great features and fun gameplay, it can feel cheap at times when Talion doesn’t seem to react to the player’s button presses or goes after the wrong target in a huge mob, wasting the momentum built by executing combos.
'Fire Emblem Warriors', for all its faults in trying to tell a decent story, still manages to create a satisfying gaming experience. History mode and other extra challenges keep the fun from running out too quickly, and the power of the game’s audiovisuals simply can't be denied.
Packing in some decent social commentary and a few laughs, “Franchise Prequel” is a good episode that will never make anyone’s “Top 10 South Park Episodes” list. While it won’t win any awards, it’s still better than the majority of season 20.
I have taken three immersive learning classes so far during my time at Ball State. This number includes the two classes that I am currently in. If you don’t know what an immersive learning class is, it is blank.
By showing off a literal world-class roster of interview subjects and amazingly streamlined graphics, ‘The New Fire’ pulls off what decades of nuclear power advocates have not been able to do: bring people out of the Cold War era mindsets to support sustainable, carbon-neutral energy sources.
The Lost Girls by Heather Young is the type of book where you tell yourself, "Oh, I'll go to bed after this, just one more chapter," and then you can't sleep because you can't stop thinking about it.
I pile as many dishes as I can on top of one another. My hands become covered with gravy, Frank’s Red Hot sauce and pancake syrup. I grab cups and coffee mugs that aren’t emptied yet and I feel apple juice, milk, and cold coffee on my fingertips.
Our nation is in trouble. Wildfires have ravaged our lands in the hills of California. Hurricanes have come knocking at our shores. Our capitol spins like a top every day as the investigation to possible Russian collusion continues. But here’s something that may surprise you; none of these are our nation’s most pressing issue.
Cheap effects, poor writing, and uninspired action sequences prevent this season premiere from being anything more than a reminder that nothing of too much importance will likely happen until the mid-season finale.
‘Dealt’ is an informative, multifaceted, and incredibly entertaining documentary. A snapshot of the life of renowned card magician Richard Turner, it is a story of individuality that is exactly as magical as its subject.
‘The Best of All Worlds’ tells an incredible true story just about as well as it could have been told. It looks great, it’s well acted, and most importantly, it shares valuable inside perspective on the battle between love and addiction.
For those who don’t know, the lootbox is a digital box with randomly selected items that can be used in the game. This can be as simple as a new voice line to a whole new character in some games and the value of what’s in the box can fluctuate wildly. It’s sort of like getting a box of chocolates.
This film is going to sit you down and make you reconsider everything you know and love. If you’re looking for a horror film that won’t necessarily scare you, but make you feel despair throughout your whole body, The Invitation is right up your alley.
The word to describe this movie is “fun.” It’s hard to go into most slasher movies expecting actual quality, but that’s because slasher movies aren’t trying to be anything Oscar-worthy.
"Laddie: The Man Behind the Movies" gives an in-depth look at the life and career of Alan Ladd Jr. that has not previously been explored. While the subject is certainly interesting, the notion of a daughter learning to appreciate and accept her father's career is the film's real strength.
‘Instrument of War’ is an emotional rollercoaster that brings a rare hopeful story to the war film genre. Despite a couple of head-scratching deus ex machina moments, it’s a wonderful true story that proves that where there’s a will, there’s always a way.
