It is difficult for action movies to be unique because of their movement-driven plotlines, and we’ve all seen the same defense combinations and battle techniques used again and again. We don’t really need another action movie with an unoriginal plotline; however, “London Has Fallen” was simply enjoyable to watch despite its insignificance.
“London Has Fallen,” a sequel to the...
“Whiskey Tango Foxtrot” is a movie roughly following the memoir of wartime journalist Kim Barker that stars Tina Fey and is directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa. If you wanted to see a fresh take on a wartime comedy then go see this film.
The movie follows Baker (the movie slightly changes her name from Barker to Baker), a...
Riverside experienced its first-ever color throw on Saturday, March 5 with the Holi Festival of Colors. Holi is an ancient Hindu religious festival that has gained popularity with those outside of the Asian community.

To many, modern dance seems like an oddity.
Many first-time viewers are confused when they see performers clad in unison colors and meshed together in a slow-moving huddle across the stage, no strict adherence to pirouetting or jumping occurring but hands and feet gliding over another’s to maintain the pulsating huddle. Many may only be familiar with the modern dancers...
When I was in the 10th grade I had an internally self-declared archnemesis. He was my classmate and, internally, I hated him. He hated me. Everything I did, he tried and successfully did better. I would raise my hand, he’d raise his higher. I did extra credit, he would do extra, extra credit. Currently, though, I feel I am...
Thechrishaverland is a fifth-dimensional being from the mind of H.P. Lovecraft. Thechrishaverland, stylized all in lowercase, tells “violent stories” with his words as his guitar howls with the rumble of a speeding freight train. He doesn’t do bars, avoiding the crowds of cacophonous drunks and seeks out the weird that haunts the underground and has bred the likes of...
The prominence of a star in the night sky reminds us of the fame of a celebrity, which is why we call them “stars.” Our distance from stars also relates to our detachment with celebrities, meaning we have rare, limited access to them no matter how much we may admire them from afar.

When I was in the 10th grade I had a classmate I had self-declared as my enemy. Internally, I hated him. He probably hated me. Everything I did, he tried and successfully did better. I would raise my hand, he’d raise his higher. I would do extra credit, he did extra, extra credit. Currently, though, I feel I am doing quite...
“The Flash” absolutely brought its A-game once again in this week’s episode “Welcome to Earth-2.” All season long, “The Flash” has played with the concept of the multiverse, a system of parallel universes where other Earths exist. After seeing plenty of small glimpses of Earth-2 throughout the season, “Welcome to Earth-2” was the ultimate payoff, as we found Barry...

For the third time since midnight, Sylvia and Tara agreed it was all just an accident and moved on. Then they did it a fourth time to really make sure. The hospital’s break room was still dolled up in family-friendly Halloween props. Nobody wanted to be the one who would take down the wilted coloring-book tarantulas...
