The Grinch Who Stole Your Laughter

Brittney Bailey Staff Writer  To summarize, “The Grinch” movie is every bit of the phrase “just okay.” It’s fine for kids, and they will surely get a kick of out some of the jokes, but overall, it felt more and more like a cash grab with every second that went by. There’s nothing new here. If you’ve seen any of the previous Grinch iterations, you … Continue reading The Grinch Who Stole Your Laughter

Bohemian Rhapsody Review

Brittney Bailey Staff Writer Bohemian Rhapsody, although formulaic, is a rousing triumph of good feelings and good intentions. The film doesn’t dive deep into the life of Freddie Mercury, nor is entirely historically accurate, but it is still a good enough film to get your heart pumping and your tear ducts welling.         The biopic stars Rami Malek as the iconic Freddie Mercury and tells the … Continue reading Bohemian Rhapsody Review

First Man Fails to Launch

Brittney Bailey Staff Writer To put it lightly, “First Man” is yet another movie about a white man putting his job ahead of his friends and family but getting rewarded for it. Yes, getting to the moon is an amazing feat. Yet, with a cast giving unenchanting performances and a plot that was more depressing than exciting, the film will be forgotten in T minus 5 … Continue reading First Man Fails to Launch
