Netflix’s ‘Ratched’ shakes the psyche

Lexi Kilcoin | Friday, October 2, 2020

Am I crazy or are you? Let’s let Nurse Ratched decide. In the new Netflix series “Ratched,” the psychotic psychiatric nurse derived from “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” finds herself face to face with a cold blooded killer. But does she want to help him or hurt him? Inspired by Ken Kesey’s famous 1962

Commencement 2020: Four years in review

Ryan Israel and Mike Donovan | Friday, May 15, 2020

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,”

‘Maniac’ is a mind-bending delight grounded in emotion

Nicholas Ottone | Thursday, September 27, 2018

“I think our computer might be horribly depressed,” Dr. Fujita (Sonoya Mizuno) admits halfway through Cary Joji Fukunaga’s beguiling miniseries. “And might be behaving unpredictably.” It might be blunt, but this describes the series’ main obsession: delusion and the humanity that exposes the emotion underneath. In a story of technology and drugs, the simple decision to

Dear Mr. Finn Wittrock

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, August 23, 2017

I want to start out by saying I am an enormous fan. I want to say I am your biggest fan, but I feel I have only scratched the surface in your talented portfolio of acting. The first time I saw you was as Greg in “La La Land,” a gripping performance where you showed

Feminism is for kids

Kelly McGarry | Wednesday, April 5, 2017

At least that’s what the Academy would have you believe. The Best Animated Feature Film winner “Zootopia” told the story of a female police officer overcoming discrimination. Its lead was female and uplifting, even if she was also a bunny. But in the most esteemed categories, that was not the case. Starting with Casey Affleck’s

The Academy Awards once again full of surprises

Nora McGreevy | Tuesday, February 28, 2017

We can all identify at least one thing that surprised us about the 89th Academy Awards. It’s hard to be alive in the United States with functional Internet access and not possess at least an inkling of Sunday night’s dramatics: mayhem, Steve Harvey memes, justified anger, public statements of apology, awkward celebrity interviews and the New

Scene’s Selections: The Oscars

Erin McAuliffe, Kelly McGarry, Charlie Kenney, Jack Riedy and Elizabeth Hynes | Friday, February 24, 2017

  Best Picture: “Moonlight” By Jack Riedy Like all great movies, “Moonlight” is both a small story and an impossibly large one. The coming-of-age film follows a black boy, Chiron, as he grows up in Miami poverty. We see him as a meek, nearly mute child, as a scrawny harassed teen and as an impossibly built ex-convict in

Lessons learned from ‘La La Land’

Erin Thomassen | Thursday, January 26, 2017

Warning: this reflection on “La La Land” contains spoilers. When I first saw “La La Land,” I was caught up in the whirlwind romance between Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, or Mia and Sebastian. Sebastian is a struggling jazz pianist and Mia an aspiring actress who each encourage the other to follow their dreams, “crazy

‘La La Land’ a musical for everyone

Charlie Kenney | Wednesday, January 25, 2017

After the ’50s and ’60s, the American populace let Hollywood know they were tired of the musicals that flooded theaters every weekend. A slew of films including “Singin’ in the Rain,” “West Side Story,” “The Wizard of Oz” and “The Sound of Music” eventually wore out the musical genre’s welcome in movie theaters; the thousands who flocked to the
