By: Cory Berlekamp Email: berlekampc@findlay.edu Twitter: @Cberlekamp   Cue the Monster Mash, pull out the pumpkin bowl filled with candy, and pop in those fake vampire teeth; now you are ready for Halloween. I do not know if it is just me but I have started to lose the joy for the holiday in my […]

By: Dylan Frazier Email: frazierd@findlay,edu Twitter: @dylanfrazier44   The year was 2009, gas prices were through the roof, Obama just took office, and iPod Touches were the coolest thing ever made. We also began to see the first wave of zom-coms (zombie comedies) come out and very few had the acclaim that Ruben Fleischer’s Zombieland […]

Dylan Frazier frazierd@findlay.edu @dylanfrazier44 I’m all for different ideas but they have to work. And for me, Gemini Man simply does not work. From its miserable script to very weird CGI, the film starring Will Smith is maybe one of the dumbest movies I’ve seen this year. That said, it isn’t even close to the […]

By: Collin Frazier Frazierc@findlay.edu @Collin_53   Remember not so long ago when you first began puberty? It was such an awkward point in everyone’s life. The point of when your body was changing rapidly, your emotions were a wreck, and it seemed like all you wanted to do was just move on to adulthood. Definitely […]

Leah Alsept Email: alseptl@findlay.edu Twitter: @l_mac0913   Cold weather has finally arrived in Findlay. I was waiting for what seemed like centuries for it to get even a bit chilly. I checked the weather every day, hoping, praying that the 80-degrees would inch down to 70s or 60s. Then it became the first day of […]

Dylan Frazier Email: frazierd@findlay.edu Twitter: @dylanfrazier44 In what may be the third-most hyped movie of the year behind Avengers and Star Wars, Todd Phillips’ Joker came out amidst all the controversy that surrounded its release. For those who do not know, the FBI got a tip that someone on the dark web had planned to […]

By: Olivia Wile Email: wileo@findlay.edu Twitter: @o_wile Another University of Findlay Homecoming has come and gone, but not without plenty of family-oriented activities, a classic homecoming football game, and lots of black and orange ribbons. Colleges and universities join UF in keeping the classic homecoming celebration alive. According to thebestschools.org, a couple universities take credit […]

Dylan Frazier frazierd@findlay.edu Twitter: @dylanfrazier44   Rambo: Last Blood hit theaters two weeks ago and it’s exactly what it was meant to be, an insane action movie with completely unrealistic fights and explosions. So, what the movie lacks in story, and it definitely lacks in that department, the completely mindless action helps make it a […]

By: Dylan Frazier Email: frazierd@findlay.edu Twitter: @dylanfrazier44 In a shocking turn of events, I liked a movie about strippers stealing money from Wall Street guys more than a movie about astronauts exploring the solar system. Coming off of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, I was totally ready to see another movie starring Brad Pitt, […]

By: Cory Berlekamp Email: berlekampc@findlay.edu        Twitter: @Cberlekamp She stormed the shores of New York in a sailboat. The Swedish 16-year-old, Greta Thunberg, came to the UN Climate Action Summit to make sure that those world leaders would hear her sound and fury.            I have heard all sorts of opinions on Thunberg; from “what a brave […]

Collin Frazier Email:Frazierc@findlay.edu Twitter: @Collin_53   For anyone who is a big Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fan such like myself, you were probably excited during the Captain America: Civil War trailer when it was revealed that almost 14 years after first appearing in theaters, Spider-Man was finally joining the MCU, and who wouldn’t have been? […]

By: Dylan Frazier Email: frazierd@findlay.edu Twitter: @dylanfrazier44   Based on a true story, Hustlers is another great example that Hollywood can do movies that aren’t reboots or about superheroes. Hustlers, starring Constance Wu and Jennifer Lopez, is great story with a great cast that helps propel the movie to another level.   Hustlers follows the […]

  By: Cory William Berlekamp Email: berlekampc@findlay.edu Twitter: @Cberlekamp   At the beginning of the semester I always put off two things; getting my parking pass and buying my textbooks. The first one is kind of dumb since it is free and relatively painless (just walking over to security and showing them my Oiler card) […]

It’s about dang time. Black Widow/Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson), has been a vital part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe since 2010 so it’s absolutely time that she gets her own movie. If you haven’t been keeping up with the MCU, Natasha is the human that absolutely kicks butt on the Avengers team. She has made […]

By Diana Montague, Communication Department Chair   I recently went to my 40th high school class reunion. (Yes, 40th. You do the math—I went to high school when dinosaurs roamed the earth.) This was the first reunion I ever attended because a.) I didn’t like high school, and b.) I didn’t like high school.   […]

By: Amy Rogan, Pulse Adviser The Communication Department at the University of Findlay is very proud that one of its journalism majors recently won a company-wide contest during her summer internship at Spectrum News 1 Ohio. Olivia Wile won the best video for a “day in the life of an intern”. Which reminded me of […]

By: Cory Berlekamp Email: Berlekampc@findlay.edu As we head in to the home stretch of the spring semester it is important to remember that these last weeks are what really count. Most of our classes have projects that make up half of our grade or finish with an exam that is comparable. But it is hard […]

By: Dylan Frazier Email: frazierd@findlay.edu Jordan Peele’s newest movie, Us, hit theaters and he proved once again he knows how to make a horror film. While the message of the movie may not be as heavy-handed as Get Out was, the point of the movie still is deep in purpose and was a fantastic movie. […]

By: Dylan Frazier Email: frazierd@findlay.edu After a controversial firing last July, Disney and James Gunn have made up and are moving forward with him directing The Guardians of the Galaxy franchise once again. Years before Gunn worked with Disney, he had posted tweets that were in very poor taste, like pedophile jokes and gay jokes. […]

By: Dylan Frazier Email: frazierd@findlay.edu Netflix’s latest original film, Triple Frontier, came out last Wednesday and it proves once again that Netflix can make a decent movie. With a loaded cast, headlined by Ben Affleck and Oscar Isaac, and fun action plus not having to leave your house to go out and see it, this […]

By: Dylan Frazier Email: frazierd@findlay.edu Even with the Rotten Tomatoes brigade of negative interviews of the latest MCU movie, Captain Marvel proves once again that they can make anything work. Although it does have some issues early on in the film, Captain Marvel is fantastic and a lot of fun after the first 30 minutes. […]

By Diana Montague, Communication Department Chair While wrapping up my weekly grocery games last Sunday, I heard the radio announcement that it was “National Random Act of Kindness Day.” Clearly I was not keeping up on my non-Hallmark-sanctioned holidays. By the time I heard that news, about the best random kindness I could do was leave […]

By: Dylan Frazier Email: Frazierd@findlay.edu With nominations that include Best Actress, Best Picture, and two Best Supporting Actress, The Favourite is quite the spin on traditional English royal families in the 18thcentury.  The story follows the Queen (Olivia Colman) and her servants (Rachel Weiss and Emma Stone) during a war against the French. What I […]

By: Olivia Wile Email: wileo@findlay.edu Twitter: o_wile With Valentines Day right around the corner, I thought to myself, ‘why not tackle a dating topic this week,’ especially amid my own personal struggles. These days, dating is hard. With exclusivity becoming a dying trend and dating apps on the rise, it seems like relationships are more […]
