Beauty is in the eye of the beholder right? When you see something that you perceive to be beautiful it will take your breath away. Art is one of those beautiful things. Think about a piece of art you either saw at a museum or nowadays online. You remembered that art and that masterpiece stuck with you for days, maybe longer than that. Beautiful filmmaking and storytelling can do the same. When we see a beautiful film, we will talk about it and tell our friends to go and see it. Filmmaking is a beautiful art form and sometimes we as an audience need to sit back and enjoy the art that is shown to us through the acting and the director's vision.

Netflix is known for their either hit or miss originals, and Red Notice is a movie that falls just in between those categories. Anything with Ryan Reynolds in it is bound to give a few laughs, and paired with The Rock and Gal Gadot, Red Notice definitely piqued my interest.

Travis Scott has been in the limelight for the past week over the Astroworld Music Festival debacle that took place on Nov. 5, and my heart goes out to the people that were there. This article will strictly be looking at the two songs that Travis Scott dropped before Astroworld 2021, and my feelings about the songs have no relation to my feelings of the events at Astroworld.

Summer Walker’s ability to create relatable music and sing about a toxic relationship was on full display throughout all 20 tracks of this album. Focusing on her past relationship with producer London on da Track, she was truly able to write from the heart. What makes this album a bit more confusing though is that a few of the tracks were written or produced by London himself.

Filmmaking is truly an art form. Great filmmaking can take you into the world of the film and make you want more. When the shots are so skillfully done, it makes the audience want to be transported into that world. Film-making and world-building are two massive film foundations. Without one of the two, the film would be less stable. Films should make us imagine ourselves in that world that is shown on screen, and in my opinion, that is great filmmaking.

After about a year and a half, You has finally returned to Netflix on Oct.15 for the third season. When I first saw that it came back, I was excited, but skeptical. After the trailers, as well as how the last season ended, I was curious to see how the new season would play out.

The music world has a lot to thank from the popular social media app TikTok. One of the many talented artists to rise from the app is UK artist Pink Pantheress. Influenced by the likes of Aj Tracey, Paramore, and sounds of Y2K, Pink Pantheress has mixed them all into a sonically pleasing album. Hailing from Bath, England, she introduced a sound that is not typical to most of her American listeners.

It is truly hard to believe that we are over 40 years into the Halloween franchise. The original Halloween came out in 1978! Michael Myers has easily positioned himself as one of the greatest horror characters in movie history, along with Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees. Over 40 years of memories and classic slasher moments have littered this franchise. We got the revival of the series in 2018, which to my surprise was very well done. Jamie Lee Curtis returned with a bang and after at that time breathed new life into the Halloween franchise. Salute to Jamie Lee for giving this franchise everything she has.

The year 2018 was when the world was truly first introduced to the artist known as Don Tolliver after being featured on Travis Scott’s hit album “Astroworld.” Since Astroworld, he hasn’t lost his steam, releasing hit singles like “No Idea,” or being featured along well known artists like Kanye West or Justin Bieber. Now the Houston, Texas native is back with his second full length studio album “Life of a DON.”

Hearing the lyrics “don’t try to chase me, he’ll do so much better” usually would not make someone feel relaxed and light on their feet. Yet this new and talented artist from Montana proves otherwise. Unusual Demont, whose real name is Demontcea Howard, has just released his EP titled “Hues” which is just as colorful and pleasing to the ears as it sounds.

What is the point of making sequels? Is it always necessary? Well folks, let your trusted Eastern Echo movie critic try to shed some light. Sequels should be made to not only retell parts of the original story, but they should also be used in a way to tell a new story with new character arcs, themes, and adventures. Sequels are needed for certain films, and the originals are crafted in a way to lead the audience to be excited about a sequel.

Suicide and mental health are growing social topics. They are important topics that are especially relevant to our youth these days. 16.5% of teens have a diagnosed mental health condition and are becoming more prone to suicide, which is now the third leading cause of death among teens. This film should be a subtle reminder to watch out for the signs and address them, as well as being there for the people you love the most.
