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.
