I’m taking a break from the usual, one review at a time format that I’ve developed so far, and I’m going to do a two in one. I decided to do this because after watching Todd Phillips’s Joker, I immediately went back and rewatched Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight. The idea of this back to back viewing struck me...

First and foremost, I must highlight the absolutely amazing cinematography exhibited in Sam Mendes’s 1917. (For those who are unaware, cinematography is how the film is actually shot.)

Quentin Tarantino’s directorial debut gave audiences their first chance to fall in love with the unique comedy-action genre pioneered by Tarantino and his crew. I wish that I could accurately explain the depth of the characters that Tarantino creates within the course of one breakfast scene. The film opens with the group...

Peaky Blinders first graced the screen in September of 2013 on Netflix and the BBC and took audiences by surprise with its dark tone and gripping organised crime drama. The show managed to take a well loved genre and put a new and interesting twist on it. The show as a whole follows the Shelby family in pre-depression era...

Noah Baumbach’s 2019 film Marriage Story is one of this season’s most emotional films, the story centering around a family in the middle of a divorce and custody battle. The cold war-like relationship between husband and wife was portrayed realistically, humanistically and gut-wrenchingly heartbreaking. The film opens...

There are seven types of visual art that many imaginative and interesting people enjoy in their lifetime. Some enjoy painting, drawing, filmmaking and design. Then there are others who dislike the forms of art not knowing how to explore the way it might make them feel.  According to Jaime Silva, a student at North High School,...

In an exciting night of spirited competition, the North Knowledge Bowl team appointed themselves very well at the first "Round Robin" meet of the year on December 12 at Spring Lake Park High School. Claire Schoonmaker, Jemima Cooke, and Katherinne Fox comprise the "North Smart Chix" team, and they had a big night. Their written...

No school is perfect. There are things we love and some things not so much. This week fellow North High students were asked what could be improved about North High.   “Not everyone is going to agree with you about everything, and that doesn’t make them right or you right, learning to live with differences is a...
