Little did I know, when I took up a suggestion at my favorite Observer department meeting on Sunday to write a review for “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” I’d be enjoying almost four hours of my Monday afternoon, time I ought to have spent doing ethics homework, at the Cinemark in Mishawaka. Though I’m quite sure

This past weekend, the biennial D23 Expo occurred at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California from Sept. 9-11. The event was originally planned for 2021, but due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it was pushed back to 2022. It was also pushed back to highlight Disney’s plans for the 100th anniversary of the company

The Snite Museum of Art’s latest exhibition is breathtaking. The day the Snite announced they were hosting Kevin Beasley’s 2016 work, “Chair of the Ministers of Defense,” visiting was the first thing I did when I got back in February. On the second floor of the Snite, in the Contemporary Art Gallery, sits the powerful

There are many stars who leave this world, their deaths hurting fans all over the world. But few celebrity deaths have been more shocking than Chadwick Boseman’s sudden passing Aug. 28, from stage IV colon cancer. Born Chadwick Aaron Boseman on Nov. 29, 1976, in Anderson, South Carolina, he wrote his first play during his

It’s time to turn the clock back to what, in retrospect, seems like a simpler time: late summer 2016. The class of 2020 first arrived on campus via an “Ultralight Beam,” looking forward to four years of academic and faith “Formation” and dreaming of staying up “All Night” with friends. Not yet “Destroyed by Hippie Powers,”

I would like to start this article by saying that awards shows are self-congratulatory displays of excessiveness and exclusivity. That being said, I am fascinated by these awards shows’ committees’ inability to get it right and the outrage these gaffes inspire. Just look at the list of Best Picture and Album of the Year winners

In an excellent start to Black History Month, Disney is bringing “Black Panther” back to select theaters for free. From Feb. 1 through Feb. 7, you can watch “Black Panther” for free at AMC South Bend 16. After garnering over $1.3 billion in the international box office, “Black Panther” is on its way to taking

Across the current landscape of film, “Black Panther” is unique. Even on the surface, a superhero movie with a majority-black cast set in Africa that demolishes box office records is a rarity. Yet, “Black Panther” exceeds these superficial markers. It is a cinematic event under sky-high expectations that emerges exhilarating, smart and powerful. “Black Panther”

“King of my city, king of my country, king of my homeland,” utters Kendrick Lamar over a simple piano riff. Taken out of context, this statement from Lamar seems conceited, narcissistic and very far from “HUMBLE.” However, to gain a deeper understanding of Lamar’s words, one has to merely look to the title of the

Hip-hop, perhaps more than any other musical genre, prizes nostalgia. It recalls those days in grade school when the guys would sit around the lunch-table and freestyle … or at least try to freestyle. Many common subjects of rap music are clear evolutions of childhood attitudes. Notably, the notorious self-aggrandizement that many rappers exhibit is a justifiable attempt
