Watching movies is a great pastime. Whether it be an action adventure or a romantic comedy, it’s easy for people to sit down and enjoy one of their favorite films.

Movies can also have you question reality and drive you into creating serious motives. John Carpenter’s “The Thing” is a perfect example of that. To me, “The Thing” is one of my favorite movies,…

I know people who have not been to a theatre in years and others, like myself, who go practically every week to…

January 3rd, 2015. On this day I chose to get a permanent reminder of an organization that had significantly impacted my life. To Write Love on Her Arms is a non-profit organization that works to help those struggling with mental illnesses, such as depression, self-harm, addiction, and suicidal thoughts. I was twelve years old when I happened to come across this organization. I can’t remember the exact date or what I should’ve been doing at the time, but I was browsing through YouTube. I…

Throughout the progression of human history, technological advancements have always been made at the expense of altering and harming the environment; so much so that one of the five types of conflict highlighted in literary writing is human vs. nature. One such story that addresses this conflict is Princess Mononoke by Japanese storyteller Hiyao Miyazaki. Although appearing to be a simple animated children’s tale of a boy thrown into a fight between spiritual beings and the human civilization…

Hayou Miyazaki’s film “Spirited Away” is immersed on the transformation and empowerment of the protagonist, a 10-year-old girl named Chihiro, while confined in a supernatural realm once her parents are placed under an evil spell and transformed into pigs.

InuYasha the Movie: The Castle Beyond the Looking Glass is my all-time favorite movie. It is an anime (short for Japanese animation) with romance, action, and fantasy. The second movie in the InuYasha series, yet this movie is animated from the manga not the television show. It holds so dear to me because it helped cultivate my love of anime. InuYasha tackles feelings of uncertainty about the future, healing after family wounds, how to move on from family addictions and loneliness. InuYasha…

I think that a theater would be most useful to the teens in Pulaski. For one, a ton of people like teens in Pulaski have to travel out of town to go to a movie theater. If someone wants to see a movie when it comes out, they could just go to a theater. But since we don’t have one in this town, they have to wait till it’s on DVD or spend like 40 dollars on gas to drive out of town, it’s really pointless. My second point is that it would be a nice place for teens to walk to every once and a while…
