Scary Movie Review #6: Trick ‘r Treat
If I had to sum this movie up in one word, I think that word would be “WOAH!” This movie was definitely not what I was expecting after reading the back of the box. For Halloween movies, this was not my favorite, but it was not bad. The whole movie is actually kind of confusing.…
Video of the Day: Where is Rob?
I love the group Improv Everywhere. The audience’s reaction to their random performances are simply priceless. I recommend it for a mature audience because there is some strong language. Essentially this video is about the adventures of six people trying to find their friend Rob, and how soon they can involve at least half the…

Scary Movie Review: Orphan
First off, I would like to say that this is a pretty good movie. It is a little creepy in some scenes but nothing too bad. This movie is based on this orphan named Esther. She seems to be a cute and innocent child that loves to draw pictures. But most of the pictures she…
Handel’s Messiah- a Christmas concert holiday celebrating cheer and spirit!

Handel’s Messiah interprets the Christian view of the Messiah, or…

History lesson: Liberalism
For those who understand French, here’s a little history of liberalism for you, written for a social assignment.

Ceci amène à des réactionnaires…
