Furries on UR campus?

A few months ago, as I did my daily walk to class through the tunnels to escape the February cold, a new brightly colored poster on the wall caught my eye. “Furries? At MY University?

“Imaginary” is an unimaginative horror flick

“The Underdoggs” was about as predictable as “The Mighty Ducks” or “Air Bud,” except without a unique twist — another generic sports film teetering between satire and genuineness.  Written by Danny Segal and Isaac Schamis, the film was inspired by Snoop Dogg’s nonprofit youth football league, which supports inner-city kids across southern California getting involved […]

“Madame Web” (2024) review: A web of confusion

"Madame Web" was better than "Morbius" but still laughably bad. If you’re looking for a date-night movie, stay out of the spider’s web. Read More

“Argylle” (2024) review: A convoluted mess

I’m just going to come out and say it: “Argylle” bored me. Not even the star-studded ensemble cast could hold this story together. Read More

“The Holdovers” (2024) review: Holding Oscar nominations

“The Holdovers,” directed by Alexander Payne, is a surprisingly upbeat and touching film that explores depression and loss. Read More
