Imagine you were handed the keys to your favorite fictional franchise. You would feel a duty to the fans and the legacy of the show. You would pick up the stories and characters that were left behind long before you could even walk upright. You would honor what made the show great, right?
My brother had told me to watch the show “Daisy Jones & The Six” on Prime Video. He caught me on a night that I had nothing to do and a time when I had no new shows to watch other than my comfort shows I re-watch a million times.
If you are looking for a slow burn thriller that will have you yelling at the TV by the end of the season, Peacock’s new exclusive “PONIES” is the show for you.
Netflix released “One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5,” a documentary on the show’s behind-the-scenes of making the final season and closing a chapter on Jan. 12. I normally do not watch behind-the-scenes of any show or movie, but since this one was for my favorite show, I felt like I had to.
Over the winter break, I re-watched the 2012 adaptation of “The Perks of Being a Wallflower,” by Stephen Chbosky. This film never fails to make me cry, and I think that is what makes it such an amazing movie. I was curious to see if the novel also held the tear-jerking factor, so I bought the book and read it in three days — so yes, it had the same ability.
“It Was Just an Accident” is Iranian Director Jafar Panahi putting his lived experiences on the big screen for the world to understand. The movie follows Vahid, who was once imprisoned for crimes against the regime, whether real or perceived. He recognizes the sound of his torturer's prosthetic leg and then decides to abduct and kill him. When Vahid experiences a sliver of doubt regarding his captive’s identity, he enlists former political prisoners to assist him.
On Nov. 2, the Shippensburg University Brass Ensemble held its annual Fall concert in Old Main Chapel. The fast-paced program made for a perfect Sunday afternoon performance and showcased a variety of genres and difficulty levels, from the dreamy melodies of David Marlatt’s “Earthscape” to Joseph Zawinul’s rhythmically energetic “Birdland.”
If you have a service job, then you might be interested in the book “Pick a Color,” by Souvankham Thammavongsa. It is about a woman named Ning who owns a nail salon and has a special relationship with her employees, and they all wear name tags labeled “Susan.” The story lasts through one day of Ning’s working life.
All it takes for me to fall in love with a book is a good government corruption plot with a violent, evil leader and a female heroine who falls in love. I loved “Legend” by Marie Lu because of this.
Country artist Ashley McBryde performed at the Luhrs Performing Arts Center Friday night. McBryde was accompanied by Will Jones, who opened the show.
Shippensburg University Acting Group (SUAG) turned Memorial Auditorium into its own wonderland with its production of “Alice in Wonderland.” The play had four showings, opening on Nov. 13 and closing with a Sunday matinee on Nov. 16.
Normally I get so annoyed when there are multiple books in a series. Not every single book deserves a sequel or let alone a third, so oftentimes it feels forced. In this case, “Carve the Mark” 100% deserved a sequel and I am so glad that Veronica Roth wrote “The Fates Divide.”
“Predator: Badlands” is the second “Predator” movie this year, after director Dan Trachtenberg was seemingly handed the keys to the franchise. An alum of Netflix’s Black Mirror series, Trachtenberg has taken the “Predator” franchise in a positive direction with installments like “Prey” (2022) and the animated “Predator: Killer of Killers” (2025).
Shippensburg University’s Community Orchestra performed “A Night at the Movies” on Friday night at Luhrs, conducted by the Director of Orchestra and String Ensemble Ryan Kozak. They played soundtracks from popular movies like “Star Wars,” “Pirates of the Caribbean” and “Lord of the Rings.”
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 1975 movie, the Rocky Horror Picture Show returned to Shippensburg University’s Memorial Auditorium, with a three-night showing from Friday, Oct. 31, to Sunday, Nov. 2.
I read this book for two reasons and two reasons only. A cute boy said it was his favorite book and Veronica Roth being the author of one of the greatest dystopian series of all time. It was also a bonus that I already had this book sitting on my bookshelf many years prior, just collecting dust.
Henderson Gymnasium was transformed into a haunted house for Shippensburg University students Sunday night.
“Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere” provides 100 minutes of drama, emotion and insight into the Boss’ career. Unfortunately, the final 20 minutes of the film opt for an odd turn that left viewers disappointed.
I think I was halfway through with reading “The Shining” until I realized there was a sequel that came out many years later and a movie to go with it. Even now when I talk to people about “The Shining” and I ask them if they have watched “Doctor Sleep,” they always sound just as confused as I was.
Musician and singer A.J. Croce performed at the Luhrs Performing Arts Center as part of his “Croce Plays Croce” tour, delivering a soulful mix of hits that shaped his childhood alongside the timeless classics of his father, Jim Croce. The performance blended storytelling, nostalgia and expert musicianship, as A.J. Croce honored his early inspirations and his father’s legacy while showcasing his own signature bluesy piano style.
