Pushing the envelope is nothing new. It’s almost become an ironic thing for a film to do, since it's not really all that groundbreaking to push it anymore. Therefore, when an idea comes along that seems genius, it requires a certain finesse to get it to a place of quality. “The Happytime Murders” does not have that finesse.
Student Government Association (SGA)
In the first Student Government Association (SGA) meeting of the 2018-2019 school year on Aug. 28, the SGA discussed mental health issues at Longwood University with Dean of Students Larry Robertson.

The industry known for “breaking barriers and taking risks” has barely taken a risk on diversity and it shows.
The city of Flint, Michigan changed its water source from Lake Huron to Flint River in April of 2014, beginning what's now a four year battle for Flint residents. A month later, the water coming from city taps became pungent and discolored and residents started to complain about the water quality.
Unnecessary dorm decorations, empty packages and cluttered rooms are all signs of the aftermath of move in day or perhaps the result of compulsive online shopping.
"Sweetener" is Ariana Grande's third studio album from Public Records. Grande got her start with stardom as the character Cat from the beloved nickelodeon show “Victorious”. Then she hit the music scene where she began to grow in popularity quickly with her first two albums “My Everything” and “Dangerous Woman”.
After a lightning strike hit the control panel within the HVAC system located at Wheeler Hall on Sunday, Aug. 12, the entire building was left without air conditioning, according to Doug Howell, associate director for residential operations.
At Longwood, First Friday Back is an annual kickoff to the new school year following the first week of classes. Students gathered at Wheeler Mall and then marched together, as one united force, making their way to the Athletics Complex to cheer on the Lancers.

By any measure, last season was nothing short of historic for the Longwood women’s soccer team. Their loss in the Big South championship game to the High Point Panthers wasn’t how they expected to conclude their season by any means, but their monumental performance over the course of the year etched their way into Longwood history.

My name is Jesse Plichta-Kellar, and I am a vegetarian. Normally I don’t open with that, because it’s really not the most interesting thing about me. I write, I’m Jewish, I started a club, I love history, I went abroad this summer. All of those things are more interesting, but my dietary restrictions are relevant to the discussion, I promise.
Routine, downtrodden, played out and exaggerated are some of the words that could describe the romantic comedy genre. This type of film is so outplayed there have been films about being haunted by dead exes, couples rekindling love while searching for buried treasure, witches using spells to make others fall in love and even convincing the family of a man in a coma that you’re his girlfriend.
Some films have political ideas or messages riding quietly underneath their plots and characters. Some directors like to place subtle nods or hints towards ideas and references within their works. “BlacKkKlansman” is not one of those films, and Spike Lee is not one of those directors. His ideas and the political stance of his films, especially this one, are bold and brash, completely out front. Is the film itself good enough to back up the boldness?
A surefire way to tell if someone is a psychopath is as follows: ask them if they liked middle school. If they reply yes, they’re a psychopath. While not equally awful for everyone, middle school tends to be such a random assortment of hormones and pre-algebra tests that no one enjoys. It doesn’t have the freedom of high school or the care-free nature of elementary school. No film in recent memory has shown this turbulence better than Bo Burnham’s directorial debut, ‘Eighth Grade”.
Winnie the Pooh is probably the most unlikely candidate to make a comeback in today’s age of excitement and genre pushing excess. He’s slow, witty and tends to meander about. Rarely does he do anything with expediency and most of his stories tend to have an element of sadness to them. The latest film featuring the bear of very little brain, “Christopher Robin”, is set to tell the story of what happens to the Hundred Acre Wood after its human caretaker grows up. Is the resulting story as sweet as honey or is it of very little brain as well?
Love him or hate him, Tom Cruise will undeniably put himself on the line for his beloved “Mission Impossible” films. “Fallout” is no different, featuring lots of real world stunts and crazy action, but it's also unique within its own series.
For those unfamiliar with the show, “Teen Titans GO!” is a reboot of the original early 2000’s “Teen Titans” TV series. It abandoned the original’s serial-based plots and anime inspired style, for colorful flash animation art and quippy pop culture references and poop jokes. While the show has received generally mixed reception over its run, Warner Bros. Animation has decided to bring it to the big screen with “Teen Titans GO! To The Movies.” Can it be better than its source material?
