Wicked: For Good Review - Vol. 10
Wicked: For Good Review - Vol. 10
On November 21st I had the joy of watching Wicked: For Good. I had seen the first movie in theaters when it came out and absolutely KNEW I needed to watch the second part. The movie begins with a scene of all the munchkins from munchkin land building the famous yellow brick road. We see a scene of animals and munchkins, being mistreated, which is a common theme throughout the film. Elphaba’s goal in the movie is to reveal the secrets of the wizard and for all the citizens to be equals, including the animals. She struggles with the fact that she is in love with her best friend's fiancé, Fiyero, who is also the general in charge of locating and executing her. Her friendship with Glinda also causes some bumps in her final goal. Her and Glinda have a beautiful friendship that depicts when a relationship changes you for good, hence the title of the movie. Seeing this movie was a highlight of my month. It was truly touching to witness two people have such a strong friendship, wanting such different things, and supporting each other no matter what. Overall, I thought this movie was amazing and the lead actors, Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Jonathan Bailey, Jeff Goldblum, and Michelle Yeoh, did a phenomenal job at bringing the critically acclaimed Broadway musical to the big screen.

Review of Nuremberg - Vol. 9
Review of Nuremberg - Vol. 9
Looking for a post-WWII psychological drama? Nuremberg, a new release, takes place in 1945 Southwest Germany, around 6 months after the Nazi Regime ended. Douglas Kelley is called in to serve as a prison psychiatrist for high ranking Nazi leaders, who are awaiting trial for war crimes the rebuilt prison Nuremberg. Russell Crowe delivered an intriguing performance depicting the narcissistic, iniquitous and ingenious Hermann Göring, with Rami Malek performing a convincingly emotional and curious character. This movie is very timely and a compelling piece of work that, although slow paced at times, conveys a powerful message that evil can prevail disguised as ideology, and how it can quickly rise in ordinary people.

Pumpkin Cream Alani Review - Vol. 6
Pumpkin Cream Alani Review - Vol. 6
With autumn just around the corner, the leaves already starting to grace the Earth after their reach to the heavens, people all through the nation are excited for the Fall flavors of their favorite drinks. I was a part of this demographic; last year I loved the Witch’s Brew Alani and was ready for the new flavor: Pumpkin Cream. After looking and looking, my friend had finally gotten their hands on two. I was ecstatic, standing in my New Hampshire Ecology classroom and cracking the can open. My friend and I took a whiff, and immediately we both knew this was not going to live up to our high expectations. Now more reserved, I slowly brought the can to my mouth. It tasted like real pumpkin, which might be the only compliment I could give. It almost tasted nice, but it had spices which did not mix well with the sparkling nature of the drink. The cream part of the pumpkin CREAM was also very lacking. Overall, I would not recommend this drink, especially with the hassle that comes with getting your hands on one.

Review of The Summer Hikaru Died - Vol. 6
Review of The Summer Hikaru Died - Vol. 6
Though the final works are unfinished, symbolism in the plot-line is large and meaningful in ‘The Summer Hikaru Died’. The monster that lives within the new Hikaru is a threat to everyone, yet he is too blinded by ‘its’ effect on others to be afraid of himself. The author creates a child-like wonder in the new Hikaru’s vision for life- Hikaru has died and come back revived now with new ideals and thoughts on how to live. This sacrificial death is seen as an outrage and disgrace, but will this monster hurt who he loves most underneath the pressure of hatred? A metaphorical drama novel, translated from Japanese, is an easy read for people who enjoy sentimental content and the super-natural.
