2 Men 1 Movie: “Legend of Hercules” lacks tolerable acting, story

Jordan’s Take  If you are looking for a movie with some intense fight scenes, an underdeveloped love story, poor dialogue and weak special effects, “The Legend of Hercules” is for you.

The sequel to “The Hunger Games” has a much better director with Francis Lawrence. He makes the film more real and shows a better way of telling a story from a book. Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer […]

DSU apparel worn by small demographic

School pride and wearing Dixie State University apparel go hand-in-hand. It doesn’t matter if they are on campus or not, but whenever I see someone wearing anything that has the DSU logo, I automatically think it must be an athlete, a member of student government, or an international student. I’m not saying I am exempt […]
