If I had to pick my favorite horror story of all time, it’d probably be Stephen King’s “Carrie.” I love how the real horror in the story isn’t the gore. Instead, it’s how genuinely cruel people can be, pushing a young girl to her breaking point and causing mass destruction.
This summer set records for the box office, with it being the highest-grossing season of all time, earning up to $4,765 billion. Living in such a digital era, most people are constantly attached to their phones; it is surprising that people would rather go to a movie theater rather than stream a movie at home. But why was this summer the high-grossing season, and why do people go to the theaters rather than stay at home?
The way that we listen to music as a society has shifted and changed over time. Yet, it remains a crucial part of many people’s lives. The sad thing is that music has become an isolated part of life, even though it was created as a way to connect and communicate with others.
Eight episodes. That’s all most of your favorite modern shows will get per season. Maybe, if they’re lucky, they’ll get 10. Long gone are the days of a 22-episode sitcom, made for networks to air reruns 24/7.
A24’s “Primetime,” starring Robert Pattinson as Chris Hansen, is one of the most unsettlingly fantastic movies I’ve seen in a long time. As someone who used to not like going to movie theaters, this had me squirming.
Consuming media that doesn’t fit the mold of what’s classic can create a sense of guilt or disappointment. Of course, everyone is subject to their own opinion on whether or not they enjoy something, but it does pose the question of how these pieces are given the title of being a “classic.” Who gets to decide whether or not something is a classic when opinions are so contradictory?
Phoebe Bridgers launched “The Lost Tour” this year, following her new album “Lost Weekend.” Every aspect of her tour is normal, except for one rule — there are no phones.
Here are my top picks for those looking for novels with a touch of darkness – who really want to live out their dark academia fantasies as they watch the rain fall.
I have converted to my over-ear headphones, which somehow makes the music sound even better. So when you read these recommendations, imagine them sounding absolutely fabulous through my headphones. It adds to the effect.
If there’s one type of entertainment I’ll sit down and watch almost every day, much to my parents’ dismay, it would be horror, action-horror or something along those lines. So imagine my delight when I found out the new “Resident Evil” movie would be playing in a theater near me.
The Owens sisters are back after nearly three decades, and this time, they have even more magic, family drama and romance than ever before. “Practical Magic 2” brings Gillian and Sally Owens back to the big screen and allows the audience to experience their magic once again.
Music is an integral part of players’ pregame ritual. Watch any warm-up, from the pros to your local little league, and I guarantee you’ll hear something pumping from the speakers.
It’s finally fall, which means it’s pumpkin spice latte, sweaters and scary movie season — my favorite. It also means it’s time to add some autumn flair to your playlists to get into the cozy spirit of the season.
Sometimes the transition into fall can be scary. The weather inevitably gets colder, and class begins again. The perfect way to fight the impending sense of doom is to watch a good show.
If you’re anything like me, you’ve been yearning for the fall season — big sweaters, pumpkin spice, cozy nights in and it finally being acceptable to watch Halloween movies. Thankfully, it’s almost upon us.Even after you’ve rewatched “Gilmore Girls" and all the “Harry Potter” movies, it’s still important to consume as much fall media as you possibly can (it’s vital to your health). The best way to pass the time on a fall night and succumb to the academia aesthetic is reading.Here are five books to read with a fall vibe that will immerse you in the season.
When the name Dolly Parton comes up, almost everyone has a story. Whether they’re a lifelong country music fan, an avid theme park enjoyer, a baker or a reader — Parton has made an impact on some aspect of their lives, whether they know it or not.
As the semester kicks off and everyone settles into a new routine, I wanted to share what I’ve been listening to. If you’re new here, I have an important disclaimer: I absolutely adore showtunes. That being said, I branched out quite a bit this summer. It’s incredibly exciting.
I’ve been thinking a lot about romantasy (the sub-genre combining fantasy and romance); specifically, what makes a good one. For me, it boils down to two points: the fantasy-world plotline needs to be equally as strong as the romantic one, and the romance should be carried by a heavy, slow-burn, borderline-pathetic amount of yearning.Because I’m feeling generous, I will share five(ish) books that fit this mold exactly. Prepare to have your life changed.
Despite the crazy move-in schedule and getting used to a new routine and set of classes, you should still (hopefully) have some leisure time coming back to campus. As tempting as it is to stay in your dorm, taking advantage of the communal bathroom shower and breaking in that twin XL mattress, Miami and the Oxford community offer many events at the start of the school year that are definitely worth looking into.
Summer is known for a few things, like pool parties, cookouts and bonfires. And, of course, the constant music. It blares through every water park speaker and sets a comforting ambiance as you eat burgers in the summer sun. I’ve compiled a list of the best songs to act as the only playlist you’ll need this summer.
