The coronavirus pandemic has brought with it many new challenges, inconveniences and a cascade of uncomfortable adjustments to individuals’ daily lives. Yet another thing COVID-19 has brought upon us all, both at The Observer and, undoubtedly, everywhere else, is family time. Lots and lots of family time. Maybe you, like me, are stuck at home

Scene on the Screen: looking into the best, the worst and the weirdest filmmaking, on both the big and small screens, from 2019. Cinema? Who is she? By Mike Donovan, Scene Editor Robert Downey Jr.’s “Avengers: Endgame” martyrdom tried quite diligently to signal “‘the end of an era,’ punctuating a sprawling filmic enterprise” with the

Look, I never meant to like this show. I thought I was going to watch and hate it because it wasn’t the original at all. But it has surprised me and I can’t help but tuning in every Friday when Disney+ releases the new episode of “High School Musical: The Series.” Yes I know, this

In 2014, director Robert Stromberg released “Maleficent,” a spin-off of the famous 1959 animated Disney film, “Sleeping Beauty.” The movie was considered a commercial hit in the box office and even received an Academy Award for Best Costume Design.

The Walt Disney Company is one of the most profitable companies of all time. Created by Walt Disney, this multi-billion dollar company is known for bringing joy to the general public. However, in recent years, Disney is falling under the trend of remaking classic films. The first-ever Disney live-action remake of a classic animated film

As HBO’s record and heart-breaking series “Game of Thrones” came to its regrettable conclusion this past May, I found myself looking for a show both to fill the hole its finale left in my heart and to make my HBO subscription worth it. So, as any good capitalist would, I decided to jump on the

When the first issue of The Observer was released in 1966, the Scene department didn’t exist. It’s not that our journalistic predecessors hated art — quite the opposite, actually. Early editions of The Observer included detailed analyses of literature, theatre and art exhibitions. These articles just lacked a formal category. However, The Observer’s earliest scribes

If you’re anything like me and spend way too much time thinking about comic book movies, you’ve probably heard the latest news. Spider-Man, who finally joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in 2016’s “Captain America: Civil War” and who was poised to lead the next slate of films in the franchise, will no longer be
