Read moreReview by: Alisha Verma Artist: John Cale Rating: 4/5 Even if you’ve never heard the name John Cale, his fingerprints can be found everywhere, from the scrappy beginnings of punk rock to modern R&B. Cale has cemented himself as a musical vagabond, a title that persists with the release of his new album, MERCY. The album opens with the title […]
Read moreReview by: Shrija Shandilya Artist: Lil Yachty Rating: 4/5 Lil Yachty’s fifth studio album, Let’s Start Here, is indicative of his reform. He incorporates a more alternative and psychedelic rock sound while retaining some of his own vocal style. The album starts with “The Black Seminole,” a standout track that effectively sets the tone for the album. With synth and […]
Read moreReview by: Laurel Wang Artist: Samia Rating: 2/5 On first listen, Samia’s sophomore album, Honey, recalls Rupi Kaur, the thousand dying gasps of teen Tumblr blogs, and confessional poetry. But the album’s haunting introspection ultimately reveals little beyond a hollow sound, as if the twenty-six-year-old singer isn’t quite sure of what ghosts she’s running from, either. In an interview, Samia […]
Read moreWhen did you first start learning how to solve Rubik’s Cubes and when did you start competing? I started learning how to solve [a Rubik’s Cube] when I was in fourth grade, but I got into competitions when I was in sixth grade because of YouTubers that I used to watch, who would do all these Rubik’s Cube challenges. I […]

Read moreEllie Saylor | The Chronicle Can you tell us about yourself? What about your hobbies, interests, or extracurriculars? I love art. I love fashion. I love drawing fashion sketches.

Read moreReview by: Laurel Wang Directed by: Gerard Johnstone Rating: 3.5/5 Few movies can say their pursuit scenes come with choreography. But for M3GAN, it’s a claim to fame. The horror-comedy craftily bridges the gap between the genres, delivering a fresh, tongue-in-cheek take on the doll horror movie. Gemma (Allison Williams), a toy robotics engineer, settles soundly into the role of […]
Read moreReview by: Josie Lorenz Directed by: Rian Johnson Rating: 4.5/5 Knives Out (2019) felt like an impossible act to chase yet Glass Onion has followed with incredible finesse. Glass Onion, named after The Beatles song by the same title, follows detective Beniot Blanc, played by Daniel Craig, in yet another murder mystery. A glass onion is an idea that people […]
Read moreReview by: Megan Lee Directed by: James Cameron Rating: 4/5 The world that James Cameron creates in Avatar: The Way of Water truly sets that standard for transporting the audience into a new reality. Avatar: The Way of Water is the long-awaited sequel to the original Avatar released in 2009. Created by James Cameron, Avatar is a movie filled with […]
Read moreReview by: Alisha Verma Directed by: Steven Spielberg Rating: 3.5/5 After exploring everything from dinosaurs to extraterrestrials, Spielberg has finally turned the camera on himself. In The Fabelmans, we follow the semi-autobiographical tale of Sammy Fabelman’s growing love for film set against the backdrop of his crumbling family life. From the second he sees his first movie, his ice-blue eyes […]
Read moreReview by: Shrija Shandilya Artist: Metro Boomin Rating: 5/5 As a sequel to the star-studded album NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES, HEROES AND VILLAINS plays to the strengths of all featured artists while incorporating Metro Boomin’s innovative take on trap to create a captivating yet cohesive album. The first track, “On Time”, starts the album off bright and uplifting, featuring […]
Read moreReview by: Megan Lee Creator: Alfred Gough and Miles Millar Rating: 3.5/5 Wednesday Addams, the dark and twisted daughter of the Addams family, has been made a stereotypical juvenile. By putting Wednesday in the seat of a “regular” teenager, Netflix has taken the classic Addams family story and directed toward a younger teenage audience Wednesday enrolled in Nevermore, a school […]
