It’s almost like being told “the sky is blue” when fans of Longwood Softball hear the fact that the Lancers have once again (for the fifth season in a row) been placed first in the Big South Conference Preseason Poll. With the level of excellence the program has shown throughout its history, instances like these are now commonplace.

Whatchu gonna do when they come for you? Because they’re back. Will Smith (“Men in Black,” “I, Robot”) and Martin Lawrence’s (“Boomerang,” “Death at a Funeral”) dynamic duo have returned, 25 years after Michael Bay’s directorial debut and 17 years after the so bad its good action cult classic sequel. With Bay no longer in the director’s chair and an older but wiser perspective on the story, could this be the best of the “Bad Boys”?

And from a possible voters perspective, the placement could be somewhat backed up, on paper that is, as this year’s iteration of the team featured seven newcomers who brought untested talent at the Division I level, alongside the program going 3-27 only one year ago; this standing only meant that there was something to prove.

There are few, if any, people in the world who can evoke the same emotions as Fred Rogers. Not happiness, sadness, empathy or tears, but calmness and contentness. The feeling that, for a few brief moments, when he talks directly to you through the television screen, everything will be okay. The idea of taking on a film about a man like that seems like a daunting, harrowing task. Maybe even impossible.

Five years, 1.2 billion dollars and countless hours on the radio later, “Frozen” might very well be the most successful of Disney’s newest princess films, or animated films period. Something about it caused both rapturous applause and seething contempt from equal parties across the globe. So, of course here comes “Frozen 2,” except there’s just one tiny little thing about this sequel: it is nothing at all like the first.
