For those unaware of the risky, and some would say insane, production schedule of the popular animated adult cartoon “South Park,” here’s how it works: every Friday, a roughly 30-person staff that has worked on the show since its inception meets to write the episode that will air the following ...
Given the rocky marketing campaign that "Trolls" employed, featuring weird and annoying twerk-centered trailers, you'd be forgiven in thinking that the film is nothing more than cotton-candy-child-pandering nonsense. You'd be forgiven, but wrong. "Trolls" centers on Princess Poppy, played wonderfully ...
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is now in it's third phase and here comes the first of a series of spinoff single-hero-films with "Doctor Strange." Benedict Cumberbatch plays the arrogant neurosurgeon who wakes from a horrible accident to find himself trained in the use of spells and astral projections. Unfortunately, ...
Fun fact: the inspiration for “A Madea Halloween” came from a short segment of the 2014 film “Top Five.” In the segment, there is a fake trailer for a fake Madea movie shown, that is about a Madea Halloween movie. The only problem with this is that the trailer and segment in the film was making ...

When Dr. Gordon Ring’s Faculty Composition Recital began in the Molnar Recital Hall on Oct. 20, it was surprising to see that it didn’t begin with the conductor speaking about the pieces. It began with a short piece of bombastic music as their prelude entitled, “Glass Sky Prelude” had its premiere ...
From the studio that brought us “The LEGO Movie,” it’s “Storks.” It may be unconventional, but turning time-honored children’s stories into films is a well-worn approach. Now, we get a movie that shows us how… babies are delivered? Yeah, good luck with the car ride home after this one, ...
Have you ever seen a mysterious picture? Something that looked fake or photo shopped, but it also looked so real that you thought for a moment that maybe it was? Well, a while back, author Ransom Riggs found a collection of photos like this, and those photos were the inspiration for the book series ...
