Last Call for Logan

(Nicholas Dye/Staff Writer) I believe in perfect moments. Snippets of events that tie together to paint a masterpiece. For me, it’s the events that led to me meeting my wife. From the smell in the air to the way a stoplight changes. The song on the radio or the recollection of a dumb joke that helped break the ice. They are magical and remind us that, sometimes, the universe lines up just right. That is absolutely prevalent in the first trailer for Logan, the final Wolverine story with Hugh Jackman. See, I believe there was a reason that Dougray Scott was tied to Mission Impossible 2 and could’t take the role of Wolverine so it passed to an unknown Jackman. I believe that Trent Reznor sat down in 1995 and wrote “Hurt” specifically for Johnny Cash without ever knowing it until he heard The Man in Black sing it. Little moments that make a huge masterpiece. It paints a picture of a future where Logan is broken and old. A future where he is haunted by ghosts and regrets. A future where he wants to be anywhere but in his own skin. No mutants. Nothing and no one to fight or fight for. Like life itself, suddenly Hope appears. A Hope that will bring a new future for mutants. A Hope that is certainly worth fighting for and dying for. You may be looking at these sentences with confusion. Why the capital ‘H’? To that, I simply leave you with this trailer…and a wink.

We fight again for our Independence!

(Nicholas Dye/Staff Writer)

This summer will mark 20 years since humankind prevailed over the alien threat and the 4th of July became Global Independence Day. In 2016, that independence will once again be threatened by forces from outside our world and once again Dr. David Levinson (Jeff Goldblum) is racing the clock to protect us. Independence Day: Resurgence is the long awaited follow-up to Roland Emmerich’s mega-summer blockbuster. Bill Pullman and Vivica A. Fox both reprise their roles as President Whitmore and Jasmine respectively yet without Will Smith’s Captain Steven Hiller. Liam Hemsworth joins the fight this time around as planet earth faces down an even bigger alien threat. 20th Century Fox has created a highly immersive website that chronicles the events following the events of 1996.
