[REVIEW] ‘GOOD NIGHT, HEM’ IS A TREAT FOR AMERICAN LIT SCHOLARS
Good Night, Hem offers three interconnecting stories about Ernest Hemingway, in the form of a dog-like creature.
[REVIEW] ‘MALIGNANT’ IS A MESS OF HORROR TROPES
Malignant, now streaming on HBO, is the latest horror film directed by James Wan: the man responsible for some of the greats. WHAT HAPPENED?!

[REVIEW] ‘THE CHAIR’ OFFERS MUCH MORE THAN WORKPLACE DRAMA
Despite all of the tension, The Chair is decidedly uplifting. Kim’s conversations with her daughter and father are a joy, and through all of the death-of-the-humanities despair, we witness an important shift as the English Department remembers why they arrived at Pembroke University in the first place: to teach. Academia can be (and often is) a soul-killing business, but The Chair is a good reminder that it doesn’t have to be.
[REVIEW] ‘ALL THE PLACES IN BETWEEN’ IS A BEAUTIFUL EXPLORATION OF MENTAL HEALTH
‘All the Places in Between’ is a quiet, meditative journey that depicts how difficult it is to communicate in dark times.
[LIST] JULY STAFF PICKS

[REVIEW] ‘FEAR STREET PART 3: 1666’ DELIVERS A DISAPPOINTING CONCLUSION
It’s the perfect setting for an origin story about a witch’s curse, and the 666 is just the right amount of campiness. However, sadly, that’s where my appreciation for this film ends.
[REVIEW] SUMMER SLASHER FUN IN ‘FEAR STREET PART 1: 1994’
‘Fear Street Part 1’ is the perfect treat for 30-somethings like me who feel nostalgic for R.L. Stine but want something a bit more adult.
