‘Don’t Worry, Darling’ — Florence Pugh Has It Under Control

Abigail Keaney | Tuesday, September 27, 2022

If you’ve spent any time online in the past few weeks, “Don’t Worry Darling” needs no introduction. Between Harry Styles’ now infamous interview at Venice Film Festival (he was right — the movie does feel like a movie), Florence Pugh’s conspicuous absence from that same event, Olivia Wilde’s public feud with former star Shia LaBeouf,

‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre’: Blood, gore and really fun horror

Justin George | Monday, February 21, 2022

“The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” is the ninth film of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre (TCM) franchise and third film to bear its name. (Seriously, stop naming sequels the same thing as the original.) The “plot” follows a group of influencers who buy up the majority of a small town in rural Texas to … do something

‘Kate’: Bad acting and the fundamental question of human existence

Joyce Fu | Tuesday, September 21, 2021

When I first heard about “Kate,” it was introduced to me as a perpetrator of anti-Asian violence in that the majority of the Asian characters serve as cannon fodder for the white heroine. The next time I heard about “Kate,” it was number one on Netflix. I decided to momentarily put aside my prejudice against

‘Candyman’: Resurrection, evolution and gentrification

JP Spoonmore | Tuesday, August 31, 2021

Deep beneath the rubble and ashes of Chicago’s Cabrini-Green lies a secret. Its history is written on the very souls of its last remaining residents, always lurking behind them. His face may change over time, but the name will always be remembered, along with that bloody hook. After almost 30 years since his original summoning,

Mia Marroquin | Tuesday, February 23, 2021

Picture this: It’s a Friday night in your childhood bedroom and you splurge $20 to stream the latest from girl-power director Emerald Fennell, starring Carey Mulligan and out-from-the-shadows YouTuber-turned-actor Bo Burnham. The film you have chosen, “Promising Young Woman,” is a fast paced, thought-provoking piece that is sure to leave viewers questioning the effectiveness of

2019’s socially-aware thriller of the year: ‘Parasite’

Ryan Israel | Wednesday, October 30, 2019

In every country, there’s poverty. But wherever there’s poverty, wealth can be found nearby. Sometimes, this wealth can be found only as a dream in the minds of the poor; sometimes, it can literally be seen down the block in a stunning luxury mansion with a lovely lawn of green grass. In Bong Joon-ho’s gripping,

Where ‘Velvet Buzzsaw’ disappoints, ‘The Price of Everything’ fills in gaps

Nora McGreevy | Thursday, February 14, 2019

“We don’t sell durable goods, we peddle perception. Thin as a bubble,” says Rene Russo as a money-hungry art dealer in “Velvet Buzzsaw.” She might as well have been describing the movie itself. Dan Gilroy, who directed the movie for Netflix, had all the ingredients for an acerbic, intellectually engaging horror-comedy in his hands, but

Alvaro del Campo | Monday, September 5, 2016

Netflix’s latest addition to its catalog of original programming, “Stranger Things,” is a sci-fi/horror series set in 1980s Indiana. The idyllic suburb where the series is set is quickly disrupted by two events: the mysterious disappearance of local middle-schooler Will Byers and appearance of a girl in a hospital gown known only as Eleven.

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

This week, From the Archives takes a long overdue look at the history of Bengal Bouts. While this tournament predates the Observer by nearly four decades, we uncovered a selection of stories that capture at least a part of the rich history of this Notre Dame tradition.

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.
