(The following review will contain light spoilers)
Music and Animation-
The theme song of the film “In This Corner of the World” is called “Kanashikute Yarikirenai” which at first listen sounds peaceful, beautiful and softer than it really is. One of the lines of the song in English is “Today, once again, I look to the distance and cry.'' This contrast serves as a good introduction to “In this Corner of the World,” which has plenty of happy moments ...

Yep, ‘Argylle’ sure is a movie
By Ben Konuch
I really wanted to enjoy “Argylle.” You mean to tell me that we were getting a new spy thriller/comedy from Mathew Vaughn, the filmmaker behind the “Kingsman” franchise, with Henry Cavill, John Cena and Bryce Dallas Howard? Count me in! The trailers looked funny and its premise sounded intriguing, so I was actually a little excited to see what “Argylle” would end up being. I attended an evening showing as a date night with fairly middle-ground expectations, ...

‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ faceplants but gets back up fighting in its final two episodes
By Ben Konuch
“I warned you, if you're not careful, you'll find out who I am.”
“Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is officially over. Or at least, the first season of hopefully many seasons finished airing on Disney+. While its penultimate episode was the season’s worst at building tension and establishing the on-screen presence and impact of the gods, the season finale was the best episode of the entire series. With foreboding gods who feel powerful and intense, exciting fight ...
Senior Sunday: Alan Brads
By Esther Fultz
For senior journalism student Alan Brads, coming to Cedarville was not the decision he had originally anticipated. He considered attending Ohio State but decided not to because he would not be allowed to have a car on campus as a freshman and wanted to be able to visit his girlfriend at the time (now wife) Abby.
Some of Brads’ favorite things about Cedarville include the Bible minor, his professors, and the facilities on campus.
“I think the Bible minor is super ...
