  • Addams Family Values​: a Campy Cult Classic
    Addams Family Values​: A Campy Cult Classic By: Katie Baranauskas The Addams family is quite the odd bunch. Created by Charles Addams in a 1938 comic strip, the family has received countless renditions of their misadventures, including the 1993 sequel to The Addams Family: Addams Family Values. This is a rare instance in which the sequel ​ ​ ​ ​ is better than the original. The cast is by far one of the best, including greats like Anjelica Huston as Morticia, Christina Ricci as Wednesday, and Christopher Lloyd as Fester, as well as so many others. Every actor plays to their strengths, as well as their character's strengths, to craft a wonderful mix of comedy and drama. Some characters such as Fester and Gomez Addams have extreme slapstick comedy, whereas other characters such as Wednesday and Morticia Addams have a dry humor that also makes the audience chuckle: no laugh track needed. Along with all these fantastic characters comes an equally fantastic villain in Debbie Jelinsky, played by Joan Cusack. Debbie is immediately explored as a two-faced black widow, who will do anything to get the wealth and opulence she desires. Joan Cusack did the absolute most in this performance, and she looked fabulous as well. All of this is topped with an amazing script, which produced hundreds of lines I use to this day. A whole other article could be written on the iconic quotes from this movie, but my all-time favorite has to be when Morticia tells Debbie in the most monotone voice, "All that I could forgive, but Debbie… pastels?" This movie has just the right balance of creepiness and camp, reminding me of a Disney story set in a Tim Burton-esque world, where being "weird" is the new normal and everything is tinged with a gothic filter.

While his partner, Amelia Sachs, traces the victims steps in Manhattan, Rhyme leaves the city to pursue the sniper himself. As details of the case start to emerge, the pair discovers that not all is what it seems.

  • Scene and Heard: a Profile of Laura Colella
    Scene and Heard: A Profile of Laura Colella She sits quietly in a coffee shop, waiting. She is of small stature, and fine boned. She has striking eyes and a beautiful face, one that easily could be in front of the camera. Providence born and raised, no one she knew ever talked about becoming a filmmaker. She is definitely under the radar – but is soaring very high. This is Laura Colella. In her 44 years, she has managed to impress some very important people in the film world. One of those folks is Paul Thomas Anderson – the same Paul Thomas Anderson who wrote and directed The Master, There Will Be Blood, Boogie Nights and my personal favorite (and I believe his), Magnolia. Last February, he hosted a screening of her film Breakfast with Curtis in LA, and held a lengthy Q & A session afterward. In the same month, at the Independent Spirit Awards, the film was nominated for the John Cassavetes Award for Best Feature made for under $500,000, and won a $50,000 distribution grant from Jameson. Her love of film started early. She grew up heavily involved in theater, was in a few productions at Trinity Rep, and worked there as a production assistant. “My first year in college at Harvard, my boyfriend took me to the end-of-year film screenings at RISD, which opened up that world of possibility for me. I discovered the excellent film department at Harvard, which centered on 16MM production, became totally immersed in it, and never looked back.” Laura now has three features under her belt – Tax Day, her first, for which she received a special equipment grant through the Sundance Institute, portrays two women on their way to the post office on that dreaded day, April 15.

The trend began in 1964, when ABC produced the sitcom The Addams Family (1964-66), based on works of cartoonist Charles Addams, and CBS countered with its own The Munsters (CBS, 1964-66) –both satirical inversions of the American ideal sitcom family in which various monsters and freaks from Gothic literature and classic horror films form a family of misfits that somehow thrive in middle-class, suburban America.

Some R rated movies and TV-14 shows are included in this list. Please be aware that sometimes movies are and have been historically rated R simply because they have LGBTQ characters. You should always preview a movie or TV show before showing it to assess whether it is appropriate for the audience.

  • The Scribe Nativity of Our Lord Catholic School
    The Scribe Nativity of Our Lord Catholic School Fall 2016 Volume 26 A POEM IS… A poem is a fraying faded rag of thought, trimmed to be a window into another, slightly adjusting itself for every reader to communicate its message. A poem is a peephole into another world where hearts are poured out onto paper. A poem is a door into a place where ideas, dreams, and wishes are kept safe. A poem is tidbits of memories, tears, and laughs. By Greta Cunningham Grade 6 THE GROVE A small grove among the trees Little things dwelling beneath their eaves Stones and logs covered in moss Teeny acorns that squirrels toss A clear burbling brook A small cave providing a comforting nook Deer sniffing and running around Badgers burrowing beneath the ground You see a grove is not just a grove In truth, it is a little treasure trove By Charlie Treacy Grade 7 HOOP DREAMS The time is ticking off the clock. We still have time to put our opponents in shock. Down by two, so we need to shoot, With our awesome moves, we’ll get the hoop. We pass it in and I get the ball. The guy is guarding me like a wall. I need to get by him, it’s gonna be slim. If we keep this up, we’ll get the win. The crowd keeps cheering, And it’s all I’m hearing. I’m saying a prayer inside my head, But my heart is filled with dread. It’s the shot of a lifetime, And it’s all mine.

In the 1960s and 1970s, minors from Indochina were resettled in the United States. In the 1970s, the U.S accepted 14,000 unaccompanied minors from Cuba through Operation Peter Pan. Many of these Cuban minors, aged five to eighteen, were sent to the United States by parents fearing their children would be indoctrinated in communist schools. In the case of these minors, they arrived in the United States with the consent of their still-living family members.
