The Oracle
“Something bad was gonna happen, and the only way to stop it was to make everyone forget about me. Because I’m not just Peter Parker. I’m Spider-Man. And sometimes Spider-Man has to do the hard thing, even if it breaks Peter Parker’s heart.” Over the past decade, Tom Holland has become one of the most...
The Oracle
Of all the horror movies arriving in theaters this summer, the one I heard the most buzz about before its release was “Obsession.” It is the theatrical film debut of 26-year-old writer-director Curry Barker, who got his start in filmmaking on YouTube and only recently turned to the horror genre. Though “Obsession” had the production...
The Oracle
A three-car collision occurred near the intersection of Snelling and Hewitt Avenues at around 3:40 p.m. on Tuesday, July 28. Witnesses said the crash began further north on Snelling Ave., closer to Roseville, and made its way southbound, knocked over a light post on the median and came to a stop just short of Hewitt...
The Oracle
“‘Your men don’t want you to defy the gods. But the gods say only you make it home. ‘Then I defy the gods.’” “The Odyssey” is a tale as old as democracy itself. To say that this story of the return of Odysseus, King of Ithaca, after his victory in the Trojan War is not...
The Oracle
“The problem is not Tourette’s, the problem is that people don’t know enough about Tourette’s.” The final film I saw at the 45th annual Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival (MSPIFF) was an important British film about a Tourette’s Syndrome activist called “I Swear.” For those unfamiliar, Tourette’s syndrome is a neurological con

“We need to capitalize on Michael’s success. ‘Cause the Jackson family is the brand. That’s our Coca-Cola, and we need to start selling! So I’m planning an international tour. This is just the beginning!” Ever since the beginning of the sound era of film, audiences have been enthralled with portrayals of musicians. In the last...
The Oracle
While most college students were looking forward to time away from school work, seeing old friends and spending time in the sun this summer, as soon as I looked at my local theater’s roster I knew what I was most excited for: the horror films. 2026 will have a summer of horror like no other,...
The Oracle
Following the bus crash into Robbins Science Center (RSC) on June 2, the future of the building became uncertain. An email sent to Hamline students and employees from President Mayme Hostetter on June 5 addressed many questions the community had, including the condition of the building. “Robbins Science Center is structurally sound. We will be...
The Oracle
A school bus leaped the median on Snelling Avenue, crashed through a Hamline sign and embedded itself over halfway into a university building just past 2 p.m. on Tuesday, June 2. The school bus driver and a number of school-age children were taken by ambulance to a local hospital, but St. Paul fire officials said...
The Oracle
I fell in love with “The Pitt” several months after the first season aired. Not even 12 hours after I underwent an invasive, life-changing surgery, my father and I binged the first fifteen episodes of The Pitt. While I may have been a little (…a lot…) loopy from the pain killers, it did not diminish...
