All-American comeback

Sarah Rogers, Feature Editor August 21, 2017

Muy bien

Muy bien

Gavin Gaddis, Opinion Editor August 15, 2017

Edgar Wright’s ‘Baby Driver’ blends car chases, excellent actors chewing scenery, and a mind-blowing soundtrack into a movie so enjoyable I’ve seen it in theaters twice since its June 28. release....

‘The Dark Tower’ stands flaccid

Gavin Gaddis, Staff Writer August 15, 2017

As with most Stephen King movie adaptations, all I can say is there are better movies than these. The plot of ‘The Dark Tower’ is quite simple thanks to the movie over-simplifying everything and...

The Unicorn Frappuccino

Unicorn frappuccino throws customers for a loop

As a college student and avid bookworm, it is typical for me to read books that fall into the category of young adult or new adult. However, once in a while, I pick up a middle grade novel to get a taste...

‘Bordertown’ fails to keep out bad animation, lame jokes

Gavin Gaddis, Community Engagement Manager April 12, 2017

Fox’s new failed attempt at humor, “Bordertown,” is like what would happen if one took every failed joke in “Family Guy” and cut them into a 22 minute sitcom. In the fictional border town of...
