Just about anybody can think of a time when they read a book, watched the movie and were appalled by the adaptation. For my father and sister, it was The Maze Runner. For me, it would be All the Bright Places (2020). There are definitely things that I can and will knit pick about this movie, but it also left out or changed a lot of important details.

Tyler Posey, famous for being a heartthrob teenage werewolf, just released a pop-punk song called “Shut Up” with fellow artists phem and Travis Barker. While “Shut Up” is not the first song Posey has released, it is the first without his band. It is also the most popular to date, and my personal favorite.

Imagine what life would be like in the absence of time. If you forever lived in the same moment and never had to worry about anything else coming your way except what you already knew what was coming, would you be able to live in the moment forever, or would the moment lose any sort of meaning?

Palm Springs (2020) defeats its predecessors in the time loop genre

December 4, 2020 Danielle Bellis

27 years ago, Groundhog Day (1993) came out. Groundhog Day follows a weatherman forced to relive the same day over and over again. Three years ago, Happy Death Day (2017) hit theaters. This film follows a similar plotline in which the main character is forced to relive the same day over and over again, but this time she is being hunted by a killer and just wants to make it through the day without dying. Palm Springs (2020) is the third well-known film with this major plot point to come out since Groundhog Day. As a result, there are a lot of expectations for this movie to exceed those of its predecessors. So, the question stands: does Palm Springs exceed expectations, or is it just a mirror of what came before?
