Reboots suck, but here’s why you should watch ‘Scream’

Anna Falk | Monday, January 31, 2022

I must preface this article by saying that I have been exposed to very little horror media in my lifetime. I chickened out after the first two episodes of “American Horror Story.” Even just watching someone play “Five Nights at Freddy’s” upsets me to the bone. With this in mind, I don’t expect anyone to

Dear ‘Heathers’ reboot: What’s your damage?

Megan Valley | Tuesday, February 6, 2018

There’s a lot to say about the overwhelming wave of reboots in Hollywood. Much like most of the think pieces about them, these reboots are repetitive, overdone, cash-grabbing and rarely add enough to the original to make them worth the effort.

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds.

We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department and you responded with the request: “Northwestern @ Notre Dame 2014 Football Breakdown”. That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
