Puss in Boots
No, “Puss in Boots” was not the revolutionary movie of the century, nor was it particularly life-changing in anyway.

Directed by senior Ian Miller, “Little Shop of Horrors” was absolutely excellent. It depicted Seymour’s inner struggle between what he wants [...]

It’s about the only break from school I get during the week. Every day at 5 p.m., I turn on the TV. And it’s not to watch some dumb reality TV show or to see rich celebrities argue with each other. No, my form of entertainment is much better than the television of today. I [...]
