Get ready to tumble down the rabbit hole with the 2024 Haunted House featuring iconic characters from the books and the Disney movie, such as the creepy Caterpillar, the malicious Mad Hatter, and our petrifying protagonist, Alice.

Leave the World Behind
Ruby Lortie, Staff Writer • May 13, 2024

As apocalyptic movies take over the big screen in the last few years, playing into the idea that the end of humanity is near, it's hard to decipher which ones are worth watching.

I recently watched Carol and the End of the World and thought it was super cute! The show follows an introverted 42-year-old woman facing the “carpe diem” mentality as a foreign planet is projected to collide with Earth.

In Defense of Xanadu
Delphi Davalos, Staff Writer • April 9, 2024

In 1980, disco had been pronounced dead. However, unfortunately missing the memo, the disco-fantasy movie Xanadu starring Olivia Newton-John and Gene Kelly premiered that same year. The film, despite starring two movie-musical legends Olivia Newton-John (Grease) and Gene Kelly (Singin’ in the Rain), was a box office flop and critically derided.  Xanadu was received so poorly that it, along with...

Individuality, Diversity, and Kalteen Bars… Mean Girls Remade
Ella Gibney, Staff Writer • April 9, 2024

Now, twenty years later, Regina George and her posse of Plastics return to our screens again, this time in a musical remake that is bringing a rush of viewers into movie theatres across the country.  Advertised as “Not Your Mother’s Mean Girls,” Tina Fey has taken this chance...
