There have been far too many school shootings in the U.S. I was a junior in high school when Columbine happened — and our school, far away from Colorado, was plagued by false threats throughout my senior year. I have spent the last 18 years in a classroom as a teacher in various capacities, and have experienced numerous drills and fortunate false alarms geared around the threat of violence....

There is a good chance that anyone reading this has left a substantial digital footprint at this point in their life. For many, the idea of someone discovering the digital trail we left may be unnerving. We may have left a mark on the world in a digital sense, but it may not be one we are proud of. In many cases, it probably won’t be the one you’d like to be representative of what is remembered of you....

Travel documentaries are often a great way to see the world for those of us without the means to visit these destinations ourselves. Typically, the premise for traveling in these films is simply to showcase beautiful places. However, Blink, directed by Edmund Stenson and Daniel Roher, offers the audience a much more emotional scope to witness the journey through. It’s a documentary with a subject that had the potential to be emotionally devastating, but instead finds a way to celebrate life, love, and family....

Nora Fingscheidt's new film The Outrun is a drama that leans entirely on its lead actor for it to connect emotionally. Fortunately, Saoirse Ronan is not only capable of carrying a movie, but she's one of the best at doing so. While a few choices in the film's storytelling make it a bit hard to follow, Ronan's performance keeps the audience hooked, and makes…...

There is no shortage of remakes in the world of cinema. While it is often debated whether such things are necessary—given that movies have an inherent permanence about them—Hollywood continues to pump them out.
