Jojo Rabbit: A Comedy About WW2, One Way or Another
Please note that the opinions of this review only reflect the views of the author, and do not represent FCS or the Phoenix Enquirer as a whole. It may be hard to believe, but it’s true. They pulled off a comedy about the tragic events of WW2, when Hitler vowed to destroy everyone who was different from him. The movie was directed by Taika Waititi, the director of Thor: Ragnarok, so I promise you this movie is better than you expect. And even though this is a comedy, it manages to keep it honest and depressing at the same time. In the movie, we follow a 10 year old boy who dreams of being like Hitler. He attends a training camp for Hitler Youth in hopes of being the best patriot he can be. Unfortunately, he gets scars from a grenade incident after a failed revenge attempt. After that,…
An Amazing Hidden Game: Slime Rancher!
You may have never heard of this game before, but I can assure you that it is one of the most underrated games ever. In Slime Rancher you play as Beatrix LeBeau, a young woman who was shipped to the far, far, away range in a small pod by the 7zee cooperation. When you wake up you get a game tutorial, and then the fun begins. I have played over almost the whole game, and the only reason I haven’t completed everything is because the developers are constantly updating the game! I was looking for a game that contained battles and cuteness at the same time, and then I found Slime Rancher. Slime Rancher is a game for people who enjoy adorable farming simulators, and also brutally murdering their enemies. Wait… Did I forget to mention how amazing the graphics are? Slime Rancher’s graphics are smooth and the lighting really…
The Fault in Her Campaign Promise
Presidential Candidate for the democratic party, Elizabeth Warren, has been quoted as saying, “Every person in America should be able to work hard, play by the same set of rules, & take care of themselves & the people they love. That’s what I’m fighting for, and that’s why I’m launching an exploratory committee for president.” From reading that statement, I got the understanding that she wished to continue our current gun laws, as she said she wanted to let people take care of themselves. However, she was also quoted saying, “We’ve gotta have a leader who’s willing to stand up to the gun lobby and say no more.” With this contradiction of statements, I was quite uncertain of her standpoint on this law. Looking further, I learned that she didn’t want less strict gun laws or even the usual demands of background checks. But she wanted something more. “Warren is…

Anthem vs. The Division 2: What Anthem Should Have Been and Why The Division Succeeds
On February 22nd, 2019, the game development company, Bioware, released the game Anthem. Anthem had so much hype built up so everyone expected it to be an amazing game. But when the player base actually got to play the game, Bioware received some very unwelcome feedback. All the talk about Anthem being a good game had evaporated. Everybody hated the game; Anthem was not what was expected at all. The game has gone downhill, and talk about the game has ended, because the hype about Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 was beginning. Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is a game made by the game development company, Ubisoft. Ubisoft is widely known for games such as Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege, and Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Wildlands. Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 is the sequel to the popular game by Ubisoft, The Division. The Division 2, which released on March 15th,…
