It: A Review "1990/2017" (Movies)

          As long as I’ve been a movie fan, I’ve avoided anything found in the horror genre. To me, horror movies were a one way ticket to needing to sleep with three lamps on for the next month and a half. However, after years of avoiding the horror genre, I finally worked up the courage to lean into it while convincing myself that I could handle it this time. Though telling myself this was a gamble, the one that I started my horror journey with was Tommy Lee Wallace’s 1990 film adaption of It, followed directly by Andres Muschietti’s  2017 adaption of It:  Chapter 1. Based on Stephen King’s novel of the same name, the story follows seven young outcasts that reside in Derry, Maine. They band together to face their own fears and fight an evil that only shows itself every 27 years. The two movies face stark differences both in the effects used, but also the story, character development, and level of fear that it evokes.             The only thing I knew about the 2017 adaptation was t

Taylor Swift's best, "All Too Well" (Music)

Whether you like it or not Taylor Swift is likely the most prolific artist of her time. The stats and quotes that affirm this take could be said but that's likely unnecessary window dressing for the overall point. Swift not only boasts a number of impressive sales but she has done it while tweaking her style, some may say constantly growing. Yes it’s fair to admit she is not making astronomical shifts but she is making noticeable ones throughout her nearly 20 year career. Swift has had many hits in this time covering a wide range of topics. However for many there is one song that stands out above the rest, her 2012 hit “All Too Well” from the famous album Red . For the purposes of this article we won’t be discussing the 2012 original or the 2021, 10 minute version of the song that was accompanied by a music video directed by Swift herself. We will be focusing on the re-release of the song from the Taylor’s Version of the album Red . This song is specifically interesting not onl

NBA Conference FinalsTop 10 Players (Sports)

      The list of the 10 best players in the final four teams left in the 2024 NBA Playoffs. This is not a ranking of who has had the best career or who has the brightest future, it is the best 10 players right now.  Luka Doncic      When Luka isn’t yelling at the refs he is one of the most pure offensive basketball players in the game today, maybe of all time. At his best he can carry the Mavs to the finals and win the dang thing.  Jayson Tatum       Taum is not only an elite level scorer but plays defense and crashes the boards. For some reason he is penalized for consistently making playoff runs and being on the best teams. Just a reminder he is only 26 years old still.  Anthony Edwards       Yes, he may be the up and coming face of the league because of his personality but his defense and midrange shot are special. Even better, not only does he welcome the moment but he attacks the moment.  Kyrie Irving      Kyrie might be my favorite person to watch play basketball, like ever. He

Top 5 Quarterbacks in the 2024 NFL Daft, plus Best and Worst Fits! (Sports)

  In a year dominated by the Quarterback conversation, well at least more than usual. Here are my definitive pre-draft rankings which are bound to be wrong in some ways because as much as we would all like to say we are experts, picking QB's is a crap shoot. Caleb Williams   Williams is a baller who is often faulted by “football people” for his painted nails and emotions after games. This is just plain stupid, for anyone that watched him play on one leg against Utah knows the guys got grit and more importantly he is a baller. Best fit: Chicago Bears  Worst fit: New York Giants  Drake Maye I am not fully sure what happened but this seems like a classic story. We fall in love with a prospect but somehow over the course of time when no actual football is being played pick a player apart. Don’t overthink it, Maye is my favorite quarterback in this draft. He is big, durable, and has this subtle quiet confidence to him and I do think it matters that he stayed at North Carolina when he c
