Finding Dory: The forgetful fish who’s actually memorable

Eddie Sheehy, Editor In Chief June 16, 2016

 When you’re in a slump, you can always count on Pixar to bring you out of it. After weeks and weeks of less than impressive, shoddy sequels and disappointing new releases, I bring you a review of… another sequel. But this time I have positive things...

Warcraft: Fun for fans, not for us

Eddie Sheehy, Editor In Chief June 9, 2016

TMNT: Out of the Shadows – Another hollow shell

Eddie Sheehy, Editor In Chief June 3, 2016

Alice Through The Looking Glass: Nothing to see

Eddie Sheehy, Editor In Chief May 26, 2016

Captain America: Civil War – The year heroes couldn’t get along

Eddie Sheehy, Editor In Chief May 5, 2016

Eddie Sheehy, Arts & Entertainment Editor July 16, 2015

Eddie Sheehy, Arts & Entertainment Editor July 9, 2015

When I grow up I want to be a T-Rex. "Why Eddie?" you might ask. "Why do you all of a sudden want to drop out of college and pursue a career as a dinosaur?" Because I just saw Jurassic World, that’s why. I feel like a complete child again. It...
