It’s bittersweet. 

If you’re even remotely familiar with The Skewed Review, then you’ll know autumn is my favorite time of the year — mostly because of Halloween.

OK, so it’s only because of Halloween. 

However, this year, in lieu of our usual All Hallowtide spirit, we’ve ...

If a protestor trespasses in a closed national park, but there’s nobody around to see her, does she make an impact?

Some rhetorical questions have no real answers, but this one does. The answer is no.

I’m sure I don’t have to remind everyone about how the ...

With all the talk of government shutdowns, people being denied health care and porn being illegal in St. George (don’t worry—that was just a hoax), it’s sometimes hard to find something positive on which to focus. 

Thank heaven the St. George Marathon is just days away.

War. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing.

Matthew's take:

Sometimes a sequel is just as good, if not better than, the first installment. And sometimes a sequel makes absolutely no sense if you haven't seen the first installment.

"Insidious: Chapter 2" definitely falls into the latter category.

I run marathons in a full-length Batman cape. I have the Batman logo tattooed on my wrist. The only woman I’d ever hook up with is Catwoman. I own every Batman movie ever made — even “Batman & Robin.” My alter ego’s name is Mattman. I collect Batman comics. I ...

The push for Greek life on campus isn’t a new one, but the recent attempts to charter a club with Greek letters could possibly lead to legal issues.
