The Mighty Ducks are Quack in Action
By Chloe Largent
The first season of “Mighty Ducks: Game Changers” left the Don’t Bothers brandishing their newly won title as the Mighty Ducks. Sadly, the joy of the season finale has worn off. As summer break approaches, and the second season begins, The Ducks are left without a coach and ice rink. The beloved Ice Palace Arena that was falling apart in season one is now being torn down and Gordon Bombay is nowhere to be seen. Bombay is not the only missing character this season, as ...
‘She-Hulk: Attorney at Law’ Episode 6 is Spinning Its Wheels
By Samuel M Acosta
This episode really cements that this show doesn’t quite know what it is doing with its material. While the side-plot was more entertaining this time than in the past episodes, the main storyline just feels like it's just going in circles. Plus, they completely acknowledge the fact that they are delaying Daredevil’s entrance by throwing in a wedding episode. Altogether, there is nothing special happening, even if it’s not necessarily the worst thing I’ve seen.&n...
‘Avatar’ Changed Cinema Forever
By Samuel M Acosta
James Cameron’s blockbuster hit “Avatar” is finally getting a sequel after almost thirteen years. In honor of this, they remastered and re-released the original film in theaters. I ended up going to see it twice and I was reminded of how much “Avatar” offered audiences in 2009 and how it changed the way that films would be made.
First of all, “Avatar” is an incredible film overall. It blows my mind how Cameron created such an amazing world from his ...

21 Years of Student-Led Discipleship Bringing Students Together in Ministry
By Avonlea Brown
Every year in mid-September, tables line the first floor of the Stevens Student Center. Students mill by and glance at the books at the front of the tables. Smiling faces get the attention of as many passing students as they can. They all say the same thing: “Join a discipleship group!”
Some students continue walking, some make a beeline to the tables and grab a book, and others approach tentatively. As group leaders explain their books, students pick up one or ...

Cedarville’s ‘The Giver’ Brings a Colorless, Choiceless World to the Stage
By Sophia Monastra
At first glance, the middle school utopian novel “The Giver” doesn’t look like a typical Cedarville theater production. It’s simply written, yet focuses on dark, horrifying implications. “For our fall production, the opening night almost always falls on homecoming weekend,” Professor Stacey Stratton, director of The Giver, said. “We wanted [this theater production] to be something with name recognition…We also wanted it to be something that, if ...
‘Don’t Worry Darling’ is Brilliantly Mediocre
By Samuel M Acosta
This review contains spoilers for “Don’t Worry Darling.”
I went into this film with low expectations following the weeks of drama leading up to its release. Low critic scores, actor drama, and just an overall chaotic premiere caused me to temper the excitement that I had experienced when I first saw the trailer.
