The uni- versity’s writing studies depart- ment will open up public and professional writing as a new major for the fall 2019 semester. The major focuses are primar- ily on different types of writing, separating it entirely from the English major. Ron Brooks is an associate professor who came in just last year after working across the country being exposed to many writing studies programs. He has taken on the role of intro- ducing the writing major to Montclair State. “It is a major for the people who not only love the written work, but love what the written work can do in the real world,” Brooks said. “We do a lot of re- search in the different types of writing.” Public and professional writ- ing will allow students to take classes around the area of writ- Students help push cars out of the snow outside of the Student Recreational Center.

“Snow Dogs” is a Disney film directed by Brian Levant. Released in 2002, the film focuses on a dentist from Miami, played by Cuba Gooding Jr., who discovers that he is adopted and that his biological mother from Alaska passed away. He travels to Alaska and learns that his mother has left him a team of sled dogs as inheritance. He is then forced to train and bond with his new pack of companions or risk losing them to a local, played by James Coburn. The film was critically panned upon its release and is often credited as the turning point in Cuba Gooding Jr.’s once promis- ing career. However, if you’re looking for a fun, bad film to watch for a bad movie night with your friends, “Snow Dogs” is definitely worth considering.

Just in time for Christmas, Melissa McCarthy serves up a mod- ern-day female version of the Grinch. “Can You Ever Forgive Me?” is based on Lee Israel’s real-life memoir of the same name and depicts Israel as a washed-up writ- er and cat lover who gets fired from her editing job and refuses to comply with her agent’s demand of keeping up with the times. Her refusal to write anything besides biographical memoirs of artists, like Fanny Brice and Dorothy Parker, are her way of dodging any criticisms that could potentially stem from writing about her own life. “Can You Ever Forgive Me?” is Israel’s compelling truth regarding her struggles with opening up to others and having the courage to take a literary risk. The plot focuses on her shift from spending nights alone with her cat and watching classic films, to performing criminal acts of embellishing personal letters from esteemed artists and passing them off as originals. Her thirst for whiskey on the rocks causes her to develop a re- lationship with ex-writer, Jack Hock, who miraculously lives off of cocaine sales and batting his eyelashes for a free cinnamon roll.

New documentary shines a bright light on one of rock music’s most bubbly bands. Coldplay’s new documentary, “A Head Full of Dreams” ex- plores the band’s 20-year narrative as one of the world’s most “in- sufferable bands.” Despite all the criticism and the hate, Coldplay has soared on their new path of acceptance and love, grossing over $523 million in ticket sales for 2016-2017’s “A Head Full of Dreams” – becoming the third highest grossing tour ever, accord- ing to Billboard.com. “We wanted to make the album that we’ve always dreamed of,” said Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. “It’s just like a dream come true, the whole thing. It was just time for us to make an album about hope, love and togetherness.” Since I have listened to the entire album and have seen the “ A Head Full of Dreams” tour twice, I can say with much confidence that Coldplay accomplished what they set out for and that is what I love about this documentary. Fans get to see how the album and tour were created. Whether you love Coldplay or not, there is a lesson to be learned within this film. It is that life is one big journey filled with tons of ups and downs. Director Mat Whitecross does an excellent job of capturing this journey for the band and producing it into a fluid narrative, showing how Coldplay rose to fame, the conflicts they faced along the way and everything in between. I particularly found the footage from 2015’s “A Head Full of Dreams” really interesting, as it was fascinating to see the creative process from such established professionals. It was also quite remarkable to see really old footage of Chris Martin saying, “This is a new song,” and just belting out the song “The Scientist” as if it is no big deal. Viewers also get an in-depth look into who the rockers were before becoming “Coldplay.” For instance, Martin was an extreme joker – and still is – while guitarist Johnny Buckland was your classic stoner. One thing that Coldplay has always been known for is their privacy, so it was a unique experience to get such a close- up look at who they are as people and how they have grown up. This experience is further developed in a unique scene where the band appears to be performing a sound check in 2008 as a gloomy Martin questions why The New York Times had to call them “insufferable.” Martin is literally my idol, so seeing him in such a vulnerable, defeated state made him much more relatable. He is not God— just a dude who can play guitar, and I think that is one of the points that Whitecross wanted to get across. Another really cool aspect is how Whitecross takes you through the band’s story, one album at a time. Without a doubt, some of the primary focus is spent on 2000’s “Parachutes,” which of course has the cult single “Yellow” on it. Although I liked this creative decision, I will say that there was not a enough time spent on the later albums, such as “Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends,” “Mylo Xyloto” and “Ghost Stories.” Another issue that I had with the documentary is that there The documentary “A Head Full of Dreams” looks at Photo courtesy of Atlantic Records was not enough focus on particular songs. While there is a cool Coldplay’s 20-year history. segment where we see Beyonce record her vocals for “Hymn For The Weekend,” I would have really loved to hear Martin discuss “Viva La Vida” or Coldplay’s dive into EDM music with hits like “A Sky Full of Stars” and The Chainsmokers’ duo “Something Just Like This.” My final complaint for the film is that we do not learn anything new besides innocent history, such as Coldplay being formed. While we do learn that bass player Guy Berryman used to have a drinking problem and that Martin was depressed after his divorce from actress Gwyneth Paltrow, I would have really loved to have learned more about personal in-band conflicts. For example, throughout the movie the band members con- stantly emphasize how close they are and how things have never been better, but we never really get exposed to the actual drama. It is mentioned that Martin could be too controlling or that drum- mer Will Champion could be too opinionated, but we never get specific instances of how this affected the band. Perhaps that is why Coldplay has been able to outlast their critics: they have stayed true to who they are and have allowed their music to evolve. Ten years ago, they were jamming out with rock legend Brian Eno, making tunes like “Viva La Vida,” “Yes” and “Violet Hill.” In 2018, they are known for joining forces with rapper Big Sean and The Chainsmokers. Some people may accuse Coldplay of selling out to make com- mercial pop music, but I think they are just having fun and that is Coldplay’s documentary “A Head Full of Dreams” is Photo courtesy of Atlantic Records what this documentary is: fun with a group of decent guys who streamable on Amazon Prime. coincidentally are worth over $500 million.
