Spooky Clown Wins Praise From Fan

(09/17/19 10:00am)

Twenty-seven years ago, seven children nearly murdered a poor, delightful clown by the name of Pennywise in Derry, Maine. Two years ago, an incorrect and harmful documentary, IT Chapter One, was released into cinemas to wide critical acclaim and commercial success. While these homicidal toddlers claimed that Pennywise terrorized them and perpetrated many crimes linked to Derry’s missing children, the real Derrians understood that Pennywise’s only crime was giving out wonderful red balloons to rude ignorant children and seeking refuge in Derry’s sewer system. Today, the brutal gang known as the Loser’s Club returns to Derry to finish their crime once and for all. Hopefully, “[they]’ll float too!”



Six women, six songs, one musical

(09/17/19 10:00am)

  As the lights in the theater dims, an excited hush falls over the audience. Six figures enter and stand in a straight line across the stage. Lights flash on each girl as they introduce their characters in one word: “divorced,” “beheaded,” “died,” “divorced,” “beheaded,” “survived.” Then, all the lights blaze across the stage as the queens unite in song and the audience erupts in an enthusiastic chorus of cheers. 












A love letter to Hollywood, and more

(09/10/19 10:00am)

  A Quentin Tarantino movie without five hundred gallons of fake blood and eight flashbacks in a row? Now you have it. “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” is Tarantino’s ninth movie, written and directed by himself. Set in 1960s Los Angeles, the film tells the story of washed-up actor Rick Dalton and his stunt double Cliff Booth, played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt respectively, who struggle to survive in a changing world. At the same time, the rising star Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) just moved into the area with her husband and is familiarizing herself with the town.


Spider-Man hits the home run for the Spider

(09/10/19 10:00am)

With a 90 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and 7.9 out of ten on IMDB, “Spider-Man: Far From Home” swung into theaters on July 2. This is the fifth movie starring Tom Holland as Spider-Man since Disney struck up a deal to allow the Sony-owned character to become part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In this deal, Marvel Studios gained the rights to put Spider-Man in the “Avengers” franchise, if “Marvel won’t receive a cut of the box office for any of Sony’s films that feature Spider-Man. Sony won’t receive a percentage of the revenue Disney makes from Marvel’s films that have Spider-Man, either,” explained a 2015 Variety article.
