It, Little Evil, Friend Request, Flatliners, Happy Death Day, Jigsaw… These are some names of horror movies that are coming out soon. Some of you may be thrilled and just can’t wait to watch them. On the other hand, if you’re not a huge fan of horror movies, you may be puzzled about why people […]
My name is Lily Austin, and I am one of the recently hired interns for RedEye Post. I am a current resident of Washington D.C. and have been for the past seven days. Before living in Washington D.C. I had lived in Houston, Texas for the last 20 years. The transition of moving from one […]
Star Wars may have created the modern blockbuster film franchise, however, Planet of the Apes (nine years prior) was truly the first attempt at one. A lubricous concept at first glance, but one which led to a film executed with class, wisdom, warning, and charm. Known most for its unforgettable twist ending, it was written […]
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”. I’m sure this phrase was intentioned to speak to larger issues of war and tragedy and undesirable behavior passed down generations, but when philosopher and cultural critic George Santayana coined it, I wonder if he ever considered that pop culture would be condemned to […]
When the Marvel Cinematic Universe logo appeared with an orchestral version of the cheesy 60s Spider-Man cartoon theme, I wasn’t sure what to expect. No other superhero has gone through so many different film iterations since the start of the millennium as Spider-Man.

Staring lazily at the edited Premiere file in front of me in my college TV station’s editing bay, I continued to wait for my friend to arrive to pick up his cell phone charger. It was late at night, I was alone, and the only sound was my project through my headphones. A haze set […]
The audience in the theater around me were very chatty as the many, many trailers played before an afternoon showing of Wonder Woman. Some talked with skepticism, some with hope, others were having trouble finding the Wonder Woman Snapchat filter on their Smartphones. The trailers did little to lift spirits; everything was grim, dire, filled […]
I have been in musical theater ever since I was in first grade. Little 8 year old Kyle was the opening act of Leipsic High School’s production of South Pacific. The director instructed me it would be dark in the theater and I would not be able to see the audience when I started. The music started […]
