Hilarious attorney at law, thoughtful backpacker, not-so-little-liar, jaw-dropping carnival performer: yes, Reese Witherspoon has worn many hats and while “Home Again” isn’t anything so extraordinary, Witherspoon’s comforting motherly figure is welcomed with open arms.
The glass doors of Arizona State University’s Changemaker Central office open easily as I search the room for one student changemaker in particular: Diana Chen.
There is a three-shelved dresser in one corner, a twin bed in another, and a shared bathroom opposite of the wall. Knowing students shared this space before and that others will for years after you can make it difficult to feel like your own.
“Bones and cats,” Brenda Baker, who has a doctorate in anthropology, says, holding out her coffee mug decorated with a drawing of a skull made of felines. “These are two of my favorite things.”
Between its iconic granite towers which prehistorically graced this Earth as magma, Yosemite’s rivers flow at once violently and coolly in breath-taking waterfalls, meandering streams, and turbulent whitewater deathtraps. Just shy of Rhode Island’s square mileage, everything about this National Park signifies constant change.
The same situation occurs every year. A college freshman buys a hefty amount of cleaning supplies for his or her dorm room, and come May, those supplies are left completely untouched. Arizona State University is working to make sure these items are not simply thrown away and wasted.
In the midst of dorm decorating, class schedules and welcome activities, it’s easy for a freshman’s to-do list to quickly spiral out of control. Arizona State University recognizes the struggles first-year students face when transitioning to college life and, in turn, founded the First-Year Success Center in 2012 to help new Sun Devils make personal connections on campus. The center connects upperclassmen coaches with new students to find where they best fit into the University.
Drums keeping rhythm, bass grooving and guitar screeching through the air. That’s the sounds you’ll hear from Local Phoenix band, The Color 8. They jam in a way that no other band has before, setting no limits on their range and no restriction on their individual playing.
Taylor Sheridan strikes again. The Oscar nominated screenwriter, best known for writing the screenplays for both “Sicario” (2015) and “Hell or High Water” (2016) returns this time both writing and directing his film “Wind River” and so far, his score is three for three.
“The Glass Castle,” a memoir by Jeannette Walls, recounts her life growing up in poverty in an unconventional household with dysfunctional parents. After having sold millions of copies worldwide and spending 261 weeks atop The New York Times bestseller list the book's film adaptation is anticipating its upcoming release on Friday, August 11.
Family and functionality aren’t two words that always go hand-in-hand. However, “The Glass Castle” and the Walls family prove that regardless of circumstance, family is family and living with them isn’t as hard as living without them.
Have you ever gone on a rollercoaster and had a fun time, but the moment you stepped off immediately felt cheated out of your time and money? Maybe that’s too aggressive a metaphor, but after watching Nikolaj Arcel’s “The Dark Tower” I left like I had just gotten off that ride.
A city of a thousand planets honestly sounds like a nightmare. One large city full of people crowding, yelling and rushing is more than enough for most, but a thousand planets? No thanks. That is unless you’re in Luc Besson’s dazzling new adventure.
Normally looking at the words “ghost” and “story” only leads to a creepy, unsettling feeling that sets the stage for a fright-filled evening event. “A Ghost Story” may be the antithesis of that genre, as its calming nature and slow-moving plot tell a story with illuminating ideas for humanity and loss.
“The Dark Knight Trilogy.” “Inception.” “Memento.” “Interstellar.” There is no question that director Christopher Nolan knows what he’s doing, but the question that has lingered is how would he tackle an historical drama?
Tobey Maguire was great for introducing the character to contemporary Hollywood. Andrew Garfield was even better. However, Tom Holland? This review can easily be summed up by the fact that he is the Spider-Man we needed, fans wanted and the Marvel Cinematic Universe is lucky to have.
“An instant classic,” might be too common a phrase nowadays. Associated with films, plays and any song that is projected to earn a lot of profit in the box office or on the billboards, it can often be hard to tell which is truly a classic. As a millennial, I might not be considered the right person to judge what classic is, but “Baby Driver” has to come pretty darn close.
If movies were reviewed like roller coasters, starting from the bottom and then working up its momentum to a big finish, ‘Rough Night’ scores big. Unfortunately, in this case, starting too low leaves this movie’s high notes feeling like a mediocre kiddy ride.
Arizona State University is known for shining a light on innovation, and the EpiFinder app is an example of a student project that has done a great job of that.
