Review by Katie Rose

                The Book of Life is a recently released film that has been truly underrated. Colorful, creative, and unique, this children’s movie tells a magnificent tale of self-discovery and love.

                Remember, remember the fifth of November…….perhaps an unfamiliar phrase for those who live outside the UK, but for those who live in it represents a holiday. Other than simply calling it “November 5^th”, it is also known as Bomb Fire Day. This holiday exists to commemorate the time when a man named Guy Faux attempted to blow up the British Parliament.

Elementary

Elementary Produced by CBS Television Studios

Review by Katie Rose

                There have been seemingly an endless amount of Sherlock Holmes remakes ever since Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote the novels back in the 1800’s. In the last few years there seems to have been a resurgence of Sherlock fever. However there is one, I believe, that is the best. That is the TV show Elementary. I can practically hear the outcry of offended voices saying “ BBC’s Sherlock is a hundred times better than that American crap!” (I have literally heard this), but I believe that Elementary not only does a better job of representing women, but of bringing a level of diversity to television that is extremely rare. I don’t want to spend my review comparing Elementary to BBC’s Sherlock, but that show is the reason so many people refuse to give Elementary a chance, so I feel like I have to at some points.
