Whether you follow the awards circuit, binge comic book movies or do anything in between, 2023 will not disappoint you.

REVIEW: ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ is not just a movie—it’s an experience

Eriq Dixon, Staff Writer December 23, 2022
James Cameron’s "Avatar: The Way of Water," the sequel to 2009’s "Avatar," finally hit theaters on Dec. 16, well over a decade after the first film’s release. As a sequel to the highest-grossing film of all time, expectations are high for this next installment. But, does it live up to the legacy of the original?

REVIEW: ‘The Matrix: Resurrections’ is the meta anti-sequel that stands apart from its predecessors

Boyce Rucker, Intern December 29, 2021
“The Matrix Resurrections” does not recapture the intrigue and mystery of the 1999 film, but it does recognize this in a meta fashion and it shows that it is still a world worth exploring. The film will be divisive among long-time fans, but it stands apart as an interesting approach to the matrix canon.

Daniel Craig in “No Time to Die” (2021).

REVIEW: ‘No Time to Die’ may be divisive, but it is the send-off that Daniel Craig’s humanistic Bond deserves

“No Time to Die” is a crucial film in the Bond saga that challenges the series’ formulaic nature and brings a close to the Daniel Craig run. Viewers may be divided on the film’s story decisions and how it diverges from the Bond formula, but these ideas reinvigorate the franchise and deliver emotional weight to the film. The film provides the thrills, twists and intense action that makes Bond an influential character in cinema.
Tom Hardy in “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” (2021).

REVIEW: “Venom: Let There Be Carnage’ embraces the comedy of its predecessor and delivers a fast-paced adventure

Boyce Rucker, Intern October 5, 2021
Sony’s “Venom” franchise stands out as an outlier for not being officially included in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Despite its initial disconnection from Spider-Man, “Venom” is noted for its action, humor and Tom Hardy’s performance. Directed by character actor Andy Serkis, “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” indulges in the comedic tone of its predecessor and introduces new characters and elements to the franchise, but does it so hastily to the point where the film feels more like a short interlude rather than a major installment.

2019 Book Club: “The Vanishing Stair: A Truly Devious Novel” by Maureen Johnson

Samantha Dickerson, Lifestyles Editor January 29, 2019
Over the summer, The Seahawk held its summer book club which reviewed several young adult novels that came out in 2018. One of those books was “Truly, Devious” by Maureen Johnson. The book was a part of a series, and the suspense at the end of the book was too for The Seahawk to leave unexplored.
