“All the President’s Men” (1976): The last paranoia film

Michael Mollicone Business Manager How is it that “All the President’s Men” still holds up as such an intense, gripping political thriller? Don’t audiences today want car chases, femme fatales and weapons of mass destruction? Going into this, I knew I wouldn’t be watching some high-octane thriller with Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein storming the White House and fending off mobs of President Richard Nixon’s goons, but still, I’m incredibly impressed with how the 1976 classic

“The Parallax View” (1974): A paranoid political thriller

Michael Mollicone Business Manager After recently revisiting “The Parallax View,” I realized that the same feeling always resonates with me. Although director Alan J. Pakula mesmerizes in this suspenseful, second chapter of his Paranoia Trilogy, it still remains somewhat rough around the edges. Perhaps I’m overly-critical because I enjoy the film or maybe it’s that I prefer Pakula’s beautiful subtlety with the thriller genre. Either way, while still riveting and entertaining,

“Klute” (1971): An introduction to paranoia

Michael Mollicone Business Manager “Klute” really isn’t about Klute all that much. In reading any synopsis, you’ll find that the story follows John Klute, played by Donald Sutherland, a clean-cut suburban cop who gets mixed up with the seedy New York underground in search of his missing friend. A trail of obscene letters and cryptic phone calls lead to suspicion that the missing man is stalking a woman in the city. This woman is Bree Daniels, played by Jane Fonda, an upscale

Travel tips: What to do after a car accident

Mel Rising Dawn Cordeiro Managing Editor November and December are, without a doubt, the busiest months of the year for traveling. More people are on the road, traveling from college to home to their families, as well as cross country to visit family and friends for the holiday season. This would mean that there is an increased risk for delays and accidents, especially on the roads. If you are driving by yourself, do you know what to do in case of an emergency? What happens i

The confusing story of Thanksgiving

Mel Rising Dawn Cordeiro Managing Editor Ask most New England Native Americans and they will tell you that Thanksgiving Day is known as our National Day of Mourning. Since 1970, Natives have gathered in Plymouth, Massachusetts on Thanksgiving Day to drum, sing, honor our ancestors and take part in a peaceful demonstration reminding everyone that Natives still exist. The “real” Thanksgiving came to be during President Abraham Lincoln’s administration, resulting from the 1863 h

The “e” in “ER” means “emergency” for a reason

Mel Rising Dawn Cordeiro Managing Editor Winter is just about here, meaning that everyone’s favorite season is upon us. That's right: Cold and flu season. The holidays are also around the corner. Spending time with family and friends that we do not see often can add to the culture of transmission. This time of year can be very dangerous, especially for young children and people who are immunocompromised. In a post-Covid world, Rhode Island’s hospitals are still struggling. Th

College depression; what exactly is it?

Isabella Santoro Photography Editor So many students, in fact, a majority of college students suffer from depression, diagnosed or otherwise. It is a huge epidemic in this country and we need to talk about it. According to a peer-reviewed bestcolleges.com article written by Lyss Welding, students explained that they feel they must choose between their mental well being and a degree, which should not have to be a choice. I have heard many students say they’ve considered droppi

A true con event

Samantha Gervais Anchor Staff Writer Last week, I wrote about my experience at Rhode Island Comic Con and how it was less than stellar. Now, it’s time for an update on that situation. Upon sharing my experience on my personal social media, I was contacted by a few others that ended up seeing my story. To my honest horror, I learned I wasn’t alone in my experience; and I say to my horror because I absolutely loathe that anyone else had to experience any kind of mistreatment an

Tyler Jackman Anchor Staff Writer If you stoke the fire of the Swiftie base, be ready for a burn.

“Spring Awakening”: An adaptive coming of age

Mel Rising Dawn Cordeiro Managing Editor The set of “Spring Awakening” seems as if there is a title misnomer, as there is no indication of Spring or of any awakenings. The title is a metaphor of sorts, weaving a modern adaptation of an old coming of age story. RIC’s “Spring Awakening” is an adaptation of the 1891 play that goes by the same title. Originally written by Frank Wedekind and revitalized with a rock music score, “Spring Awakening” takes place in 19th century German

Thinking about what to do with the excess wreaths, he thought back to when he was a young boy and he visited Washington D.C.
