“I’m only seventeen, I don’t know anything”
•
Every year, I can be found sitting at my desk when I hear, “Isabella, can you please talk to me after class?” and my mind instantly begins to whir. Did I forget to turn in my homework? Did I accidentally talk too loud during class? What could I have possibly done wrong? I smile…

AI in Hollywood cannot become acceptable
•
“Late Night With the Devil” is a brand new indie horror movie that stuck out for its unique concept, that being a found-footage-style horror film set on a Late Night Show.

Women lead larger gothic roles
•
Upon typing “gothic literature themes” into Google’s search bar, a list of topics can be spotted. Among them, you can catch the not-so-surprising theme of “women in distress.” Of course, considering the gothic genre peaked in the late 18th century, the concept of emotional insight in women was yet to be seen just as…

Why is everyone so scared of sincerity?
•
With the Oscars just around the corner, inevitably it is another year where Jimmy Kimmel gets to stand onstage and talk about how much he hates all the movies that are nominated. “Wasn’t ‘Oppenheimer’ long?” he asks the grinning audience of celebrities and seat-fillers. Long gone are the days of celebrating movies at the…

Museums juxtapose subjectivity and objectivity in art
•
Walking into a museum, passing an ostentatious lobby and rounding the corner to finally enter the first section of a museum’s newest gallery tends to raise expectations.
