The Indigo Girls played at the Harvest Music Festival in Fredericton last Saturday, Sept. 13, 2025, opening for Melissa Etheridge on the main stage. (Submitted: Indigo Girls) I am not a lifelong resident of Fredericton. I only heard of the Harvest Music Festival when I came to Fredericton to pursue my Bachelor’s and STU gave out free day passes.  The first year I attended Harvest, Trey Anastasio was headlining a very high-profile rock n’ roll artist. This headliner was still

<p>On March 7, Mickey 17 premiered in theatres. Starring Robert Pattinson, this dystopian storyline transports the audience to a future where science has discovered a way to resurrect humans through 3D printing.   Oscar-winning director Bong Joon-Ho returned to showcase his directing expertise after winning Best Director for Parasite at the 91st Academy Awards. With high-calibre [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Running from Feb. 19 to Feb. 23, the STU Musical Theatre department brought the small town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, to life on stage in the Black Box Theatre. Throughout the show, the cast made a point to convey the essence of a friendly small town, where strangers smile at each other on the street and [&hellip;]</p>

<p>On Feb. 14, the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) premiered its brand new chapter of the following wave of Avengers — Captain America: Brave New World.  Screening on Valentine’s Day, this movie was Anthony Mackie’s debut as Captain America, laying the foundation for the modern era of Marvel, which includes The Fantastic Four, Thunderbolts, The Marvels [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Whenever Bad Bunny releases a new album, you just know you’re starting a new season of your life that will live on your mind for years to come.  After the release of YHLQMDLG (I Do Whatever I Want) in 2020, a lot of fans listened and danced to the album indoors amidst a global pandemic. [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Throughout the decades, the world has seen so many renditions of Romeo and Juliet that if you haven’t heard about the Shakespearean play, you never had an English teacher who was obsessed with the English playwright and made you read his work in grade school.  With Franco Zefirrelli’s first movie on Romeo and Juliet in [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Roided up, paranoid, strung out, stained in blood, vomit, sweat and semen. Logically ramps up its surreal, neon tinged violence to complete ludicrousy. The gun was destructive, traumatizing, empowering, addictive, a high calibre hand cannon made for the express purpose of mutilating human flesh and annihilating life. Love Lies Bleeding is a grand fucking time, [&hellip;]</p>

<p>For the entire second half of Dune: Part Two’s nearly three hour run time, I had to pee so bad. But man was it hard to look away from. If Dune was an art house sci-fi flick, Dune: Part Two is a militaristic epic of existential proportions. Balancing complex character arcs, surreal violence, prophet visions, apocalyptic [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Propaganda gets a bit of a dirty name in the West. It&#8217;s deeply surreal almost how much of our media is drenched in state-approved military sludge despite our obsession with liberty and free thinking. From anything from Marvel films to the 1996 Independence Day, everything is slathered in this aforementioned sludge. That being said, sometimes [&hellip;]</p>

<p>5 Broken Cameras is a difficult film to put into words. Clichés are clichés for a reason and as such, considering this is free both on Youtube and on Tubi, there is absolutely no reason not to watch this movie before reading this review. TL; DR It’s a beautiful piece of art, an absolute triumph [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Anyone But You is the newest Shakespeare-inspired rom-com to hit theatres starring famous hot people such as Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell. While not as consistently funny or abrasive as 2023’s No Hard Feelings, it’s as cute and corny as you’d expect and written with all the cheesiness of a Wattpad fanfiction. Despite a questionably [&hellip;]</p>

<p>The Beekeeper, the latest Jason Statham vehicle full of gnarly goofiness doesn’t feel like a theatrical event. Despite the commitment to all-gas-no-breaks storytelling, the excessive explosions and effective violence, it feels less like a truly cinematic experience, and instead the kind of fun, quick and dumb action film you’d find in a direct-to-video (DTV) bargain [&hellip;]</p>

<p>The Mean Girls remake was fine. It wasn’t a particularly good movie, but I had fun with it for the hour and a half I was in the theatre. All in all, it’s a pretty solid, inoffensive 6 or 7/10. Despite this, I can’t help but feel a little disappointed at how underwhelming it was. [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Near the end of Salt of this Sea, Soraya, a 28-year-old Palestinian American from Brooklyn who has ventured to her grandfather’s house that was stolen during the Nakba, now owned by an Israeli, looks through the modernized building and in the cupboards of a stolen home sitting on stolen land, she comes across a mug [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Going into The Killer I have to admit I was a little worried. Between his comments on the political intentions of the film and the awkward comments he made during the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike, Director David Fincher has shown himself to be very out of touch. And while I still think Fincher [&hellip;]</p>

<p>The sickness spreads slowly, it doesn’t matter where you picked it up, what matters is that it’s in you. Killers of the Flower Moon is about sickness, it corrodes and consumes its characters, rendering friendly folk monstrosity. Corrupting or destroying all those in proximity to its rot. Killers of the Flower Moon details a simple [&hellip;]</p>

<p>As we left the theatre playing the much-anticipated Five Nights at Freddy’s, my friend Brandon turned to me and, in a statement much more eloquent and efficient than the following paragraphs, said “What a great movie… for a fucking five-year-old.” Before I slip into a ball of white-hot fury, it should be noted that there [&hellip;]</p>

<p>No one told me Saw was camp.  For as long as I can remember, Saw X was talked about like some great-grandaddy of western torture porn, a sort of culture bridge between Hollywood and the extreme violence found in French and East Asian cinema, more notably Hong Kong and Japan, at the time.  I was [&hellip;]</p>

<p>Dumb Money is a portrait of class warfare in the digital age. It’s a story about economic inequality, careless, crass vulgarity and a society without a future. Yet, somehow, it handles all of these concepts with the care it deserves and with loads of snarky humor. From 2020 to 2021, a brief war waged by [&hellip;]</p>
