A review of a must-see film.

Summer is the perfect time to catch up on all of the intriguing movies you never had time to see during the school year. Whether you're sitting through an awful viewing of the latest film released, or you're hoping the end of the movie you're seeing never comes because it's just that good, movies are always a grand topic of conversation.

The latest movie on my radar, The Legend of Tarzan, deserves a "must-see" label. I know what you're thinking. The legend can only go so far, and the Disney movie is a good-enough version of the tale for me. But you'll realize you're wrong after seeing the latest movie.

I could say some about the appearance of Tarzan, I mean John Clayton III, about his swooning capabilities and that ever so dreamy look he perfects throughout the movie. Seeing John swing through the jungle and bond with all the animals will grab your heart in a quick second. If you're looking for a steamy romance or an adorable love story, this movie fits well. The passion and love shared between John and Jane is shown so well between the characters on screen, dialogue isn't even needed. A quote from one of the movie characters, Mr. Rom, sums up John and Jane's relationship well: "You're Jane and he's Tarzan. He'll come."

The Legend of Tarzan is the ideal movie choice for any person and/or group. Guys can accompany their girlfriends to this movie without claiming they're seeing a "chick-flick." Girls can accompany their boyfriends to this movie without becoming bored of the same fighting scenes within the first half-hour. This movie has a sentimental side as well as a thrilling action side: a great combination.

The critics would definitely disagree with this article. An unfortunate 34% on Rotten Tomatoes, I don't believe The Legend of Tarzan was given justice. The concept of Tarzan is a fantasy - in what real world would a man be able to grow up peacefully with apes and become just like them, for a better part of his life? Fantasies can only be portrayed so realistically. Perhaps unrealistic movies aren't for you, and if so, I would say view this movie with an open mind. Some of the concepts behind this movie jumped out as somewhat beautiful to me: the human-animal bonds, the scenery, the love between John and Jane, and most fascinating, the relationship between John, Jane, and members of an African tribe they know well. Moves are all about perspective, and it's up to the audience what they decide to take away from the screen.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
