early 2000s moviesBY: CADEN FELLOWS
ENTERTAINMENT 1 EDITOR Over the weekend, I was in New York. But this isn’t about the destination, it’s about the journey. On my long, grueling flight to the East coast, I watched probably one of the most “New York” movies of all time. How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. The iconic movie from 2003 that never fails to fill me with a warm and fuzzy feeling. This movie got me thinking about how much I love early 2000s movies. After asking some people around the school, I soon realized that I wasn’t alone. Senior Madeleine Tschetter said that she loves early 2000s movies too. “I love Clueless,” she said. “I love the outfits and the characters, especially Dion.” I have to agree. Even though this movie was released at the very turn of the millennium, the vibes are still reminiscent of an early 2000s movie. The movie has such lovable characters that you can’t help but love (or hate). Plus, I relate on a deep level, since Cher proclaims at the beginning of the movie that she has a “C in Debate,” and I also have a C in Debate. Sophomore Kaelyn Armijo says that she loves Mean Girls. “It’s such a cute movie,” she begins. “I love the vibes and the characters so much, especially Karen. She’s so unbelievably funny.” Kaelyn and I talked about this movie for such a long time. Why? This is probably in my top three movies of all time. I feel so passionately about this movie. It’s so hilarious and witty. Some jokes in this movie are so subtle, especially where Karen says that she has a “fifth sense” trying to refer to some supernatural sense. It’s hilarious. Finally, I asked sophomore Anna Rivelles about her favorite movie from the early 2000s. “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” she says quickly. “It fills me with such a happy feeling, it makes me believe in love.” She also said that it’s “hilarious.” I felt like this was such a full circle moment from where my idea for this article began. It all started with this movie, and now it’s ending with this movie. Ultimately early 2000s movies are popular, and people seem to love them. We need to ask film studios to put whatever addictive substance they put in these movies back into the theaters. POSTED 10/7

STUDENT LIFE INSIDE EDITOR Strange Magic is a hidden gem that I was blessed upon. I was just strolling through the movies on Disney plus and saw the captivating title. I began to watch it, and my life is forever changed. Here’s why it’s arguably the best underrated movie I've seen. First off, the stunning visuals and character design. There is such a contrast in the main characters, one a beautiful, kinda emo fairy - and a ugly, kinda hot in a weird way bog king. As well as the two kingdoms which are a beautiful Fairy kingdom to the very eerie Bog kingdom. This to me is very pleasing to my eyes, they paid such great attention to the background of the movie that really immerses you in the fantasy world, and the two worlds are almost nothing alike but still very beautiful which I also appreciate. And as you are watching the movie, you might notice something familiar about it if you have read or watched Shakespeare's “Midsummer Night’s Dream”, and that’s because the movie is loosely based on it! Rather than a “bad guy vs good guy” theme, we see unlikely love, acceptance, and unexpected twists. The movie follows love in a deeper way, deeper as in falling in love with someone’s personality. The main character, though repulsed at first, finds love through the bog king’s actions and traits as a person. Very much a beauty and beast type story as well. My favorite parts in the movie are the musical numbers, the many spins and covers of very popular songs make this already cheesy movie all the better. The music gives this movie so much heart, and though cringey at times, it’s very fun and often touching to see these songs played out in the way the movie has it. The character’s all have great voice actors that put those songs to perfection. Even though it was made in 2015, and not very relevant to most teenagers, this movie made a big impact on my heart with its unconventional humor, beautiful design, and story. Go watch it! Streams on Disney plus and you can buy it on amazon prime! POSTED 10/1 |
