Movie Review: The eagerly anticipated "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1" premiered on Friday, Nov. 21 and it did not disappoint. The film was riddled with great cinematography, action scenes and a captivating storyline.
While some people blow off steam during spring break like a popping balloon -- with a bang that includes everything from celebratory binge drinking to partying and mistakes -- I’d rather do it like an air mattress -- slowly decompressing over a span of time.
Whatever impact UNF’s participation in the Big Dance has in the future, such as increases in enrollment of prospective students, the most important thing it’s done is increase the amount of pride people have in their school.
Student apathy is commonly considered a major concern at UNF, but will more advertising and information about events for students resolve that concern?

People have been concerned about kids’ “shrinking attention spans” for years, blaming their dwindling ability to focus on the Internet and other new technology.

The recent Jack White incident at Oklahoma University was no an isolated incident of big companies attempting to control what student media publish and do not publish. Two years ago, UNF had a similar dilemma when Osprey Productions hosted a performance by musician Billy Joel. In sum, companies trying to regulate the content of student media violates the rights of the press (even if it is student-run press.)

"Birdman" is a case study in vapidity with an inane script and poached cinematography. Alejandro González Iñarritu's film about a washed up actor struggling to find relevance is unoriginal and uninspired.
#Meninism has become a popular trend on the internet. What could have been an opportunity to address and change toxic masculinity has turned into a convention for enhancing negative stereotypes.
