Movie Review: The Addams Family

EditorialsMovies, Review

BY: Molly Gray The Addams Family is something that most of us grew up watching. Therefore, we have a good idea of what we envision the Addams family looks like and acts like. I was excited to see this new version to see how they would change the story or how the family acted or looked. Here are my thoughts on this new movie. I really liked how you could easily tell which animated character went with the live version that many of us have seen. Morticia was tall and slender. Gomez had the iconic black hair and mustache.

Borderlands 3 Review: New Touches to a Familiar Formula

EditorialsReview, Video Games

BY: Cory Donde With the same grind for loot, familiar faces from previous entries, and several returning enemy types, it would be easy to mistake Borderlands 3 as an over-glorified DLC for Borderlands 2. However, with enough new mechanics, new weapons manufacturers with interesting gun quirks, and a pair of new antagonists, Borderlands 3 makes its mark in the ten-year-old franchise from 2K and Gearbox. The new story follows a new set of vault hunters on their journey to foil the plans of the Calypso twins, Tyreen and Troy, and their quest to become gods. Along with the main quest,…

Festive Fall Specials

BY: Allison Stewart Fall knocks at our door when the leaves change, sweaters emerge, and football is on every television.  Oh, and do not forget the fuzzy socks. Fall does not only change the weather and our clothes, though. Many restaurants get into the spirit by offering fall specials. This is the only time of the year they are offered, so you need to try as many of these items before they are gone. Starbucks surely increases their sales during this season as pumpkin flavors take over the menu. This season’s offers include: Caramel Apple Spice, Pumpkin Spice Latte, Pumpkin…

A Different Texture

EditorialsBlack Hair, Culture

BY: Kaleria Jackson Hair is a discussion, but to be more specific, black hair is a discussion. It’s an argument, and it’s a lifestyle. It is the story that is never ending and changes over time. Hair in the black community can connect the most unlikely of people together. Our hair binds us together, whether we know it or not. It’s almost like a fingerprint--we all have one, but one person’s hair is not the same as the next person’s hair.  Black hair varies from curls to zig zags. Every curl pattern is different, but there is a chart that…
