On Jan. 16-18, about 20 students from the GCHS
“Devils Drama” drama department team attended the
annual Utah Theatre Conference held by the Utah Theatre
Association. This year it was held at multiple venues in
Ogden, including Weber State University and the Summit
Conference Center. The conference draws around 2,000
drama students from across the state and offers them the
opportunity to take part in workshops led by professional
actors, directors, screenwriters and casting directors from
across the nation.
“It was a very beneficial experience, as always!”
said Devils Drama president Brendon Henderson, who
attended his fourth theatre conference and was awarded
with the “Theatre Student of the Year” award for GCHS.
“Knowledge and understanding are both huge parts of
acting,” Henderson added. “There is so much more to
acting, I feel, than just reading words off a page. This is
an art and the actors serve as artists. Artists take time to
develop their skill and are always studying to try to figure
out how to perfect their craft. This is what the Utah Theatre
Conference supplies us with, an opportunity to take part in
these amazing workshops and perfect our craft.”
“Plus, it lets us explore our crazy sides as well!”
Henderson added.
On top of the workshops, the conference also featured a
performance from “Whose Line is it Anyway?” stars Greg
Proops and Jeff Davis. The two comedians specialize in
improv comedy, which is basically where they have no
script and they make up the scenes on the spot with no
practice and no preparation beforehand. Tia Shumway
described the performance as “freakin’ hilarious”.
There also was a impactful and emotional keynote
address given by the creators of the “Laramie Project,”
Greg Pierotti and Barbara Pitts.
In the end, the Utah Theatre Conference proved an
extremely beneficial and fun experience for all of those
involved. The knowledge that the students gained from
the conference will go towards the team’s region and
hopefully state competitions happening in early April.
FFA selling cookies and
chocolates for Valentine’s
By Kristin Acosta
Happy Valentines Day! The school’s FFA club is
introducing a Valentine’s Day fundraiser for students
to purchase something sweet for their friends or special
someones in their life. From Monday, Jan. 27 through
Feb. 13, students can purchase chocolates or cookies.
Three chocolates with a personalized note are $1, while
seven chocolates and a note are $2. Cookies are one for $2
or three for $5, also with notes.
These goodies are being sold before and after school
and during lunch by members of the FFA club, in the
commons area. They will be delivered on Valentine’s Day,
Friday, Feb. 14.
With the school year just past the halfway point, students celebrated at the Senior Snowball dance on Thursday, Jan. 23. Dozens of
students attended the event, which took place in the school’s cafeteria, commons, and auditorium. Honored as the royalty were king
Adam Jenkinson and queen Becca Farnsworth (seated). Attendants were (standing, from left) Jacey Johnson, Layton Call, Reyce

Team-building exercises held during advisory
By Brendon Henderson
On Monday, Jan. 20, the GCHS student government
initiated a team-building exercise designed to help students
get to know one another better. During advisory period,
the classes were split into different groups, each of which
did a different group activity in different parts of the main
building as well as the TSAC building.
Some of the activities were: building card towers out of
student ideas, “telestrations” drawing games, a “lover’s
leap” game, and trust-building exercises.
“It let me get the chance to talk to new people and I
loved it,” said freshman Jackie Codina.
GCHS Principal Stephen Hren said the activities will
continue once each month until April. Students will rotate
and do each of the four activities over the four-month
period, staying in their assigned color group.

Debate team members compete at UVU and Columbia
By Becca Farnsworth and Anna Scherer
On Jan. 24 and 25, 10 debaters from GCHS headed to
Utah Valley University in Orem for a tournament. Overall,
the Red Devils tied for third place along with Maeser Prep.
Taking first in duo interpretation for Grand was the team
of Brendon Henderson and Asia Nielson. Emma Sweeney
also placed in the top seven in impromptu (in which there
were more than 70 competitors).
While none of the other GCHS debaters placed in the
top three, as a team, they competed very well and worked
hard. The Red Devils were missing some of their top
competitors, as six members had traveled to Columbia
University in New York City to compete in an invitational
tournament. Accompanied by teacher-chaperones Ryan
Hand and Jennifer McKay, GCHS students Anna Scherer,
Deanna Irvin, Nat Smith, Emilia Cubelos, Stacey Andrus,
and Robin Willscheidt-Johnson all performed very well,
though none broke into the finals rounds held Jan. 26.
Reported Irvin: “It was really eye-opening because
everyone debates on such a higher level. It was an amazing
learning experience.” The team left for New York early in
the morning Jan. 22 and returned Monday, Jan. 27.
Scherer, Willscheidt-Johnson, Irvin, Smith, Cubelos,
and Andrus were given the opportunity of a lifetime while
traveling to the Colombia Invitational. They faced the
bone-chilling cold to compete against some of the top
debaters in the nation. After two days of debating, although
no one from Grand broke into finals, they can all say they
learned a tremendous amount. Not only did they get to learn
about debating, they were able to learn about art (visiting
the Metropolitan Museum), history (visiting the 9/11
memorial), and the New York City culture (visiting Times
Square, Central Park, and many other tourist attractions).
The team said the trip was an inspiring experience and
they would like to thank everyone who made it happen.

named GCHS Student of the Month.
Justin Cresswell, Grand’s nominee in the Fine Arts category, was
the featured artist in a one-man art show featured at the Museum of
Moab throughout January.
Brendon Henderson, the Speech and Drama candidate, was
recently honored with the school’s “Theater Student of the Year”
award, and received offers from several universities and colleges
throughout Utah. He won a region first-place award for public
speaking in FBLA and also took first-place (with Asia Nielson) in
duo interpretation at a recent debate tournament.
Anna Scherer, the nominee in Foreign Language, was named a
GCHS Student of the Month for January, and has been busy with
debate, including a trip to Columbia University in New York City.
Becca Farnsworth, the English nominee, was recently named
Senior Snowball queen. She was Academic All-Region in tennis
last fall.
Sarah Stalpes, the Family and Consumer Science nominee, is
busy with finishing the GCHS cheerleading season. After receiving
offers from three universities, she accepted Westminster’s $13,000
scholarship offer, and is applying for additional scholarships.
Mercedes James, the music nominee, was Academic All-Region
in cross-country in the fall, and is playing basketball for the Lady
Devils. She is working on a percussion solo.
Deanna Irvin, the Science nominee, also competed with the
debate team at Columbia University in late January. She was
named Student of the Year last year along with Adam Jenkinson.
Jacob Francis, the Trade and Technical Education nominee, has
a 25-1 record in wrestling so far this season, and was named to both
the first team all-state and the Academic All-State team in football.

events at the recent FBLA region competition. He also was named
to the Academic All-Region team in football, and is the senior class
president.

GCHS Students of the Month for January 2014
By Sarah Stalpes
Grand County High School is pleased to announce the
Students of the Month for January 2014 are Anna Scherer and
David Bentley.
Scherer, a senior, is the daughter of Mike Scherer and
Cassie Paup. Her favorite classes include Spanish and Political
Science 1500.
“I love learning another language and enjoy the feeling of
overcoming when I’m faced with a challenge.” Scherer says.
Scherer listed her most challenging class as Political Science
1500. “There’s lots of discussion in
class, and it’s challenging to allow
others to express their own views
on such diverse topics,” she says. “I
have to remind myself to hold back
and respect each person no matter
how I feel about a specific opinion.”
Scherer is currently taking
English 1010 and Political-Science
1500 for this year’s second trimester,
and has previously taken FCHD
(Human Development) and Geology
1010 last trimester.
“I want to take every opportunity
I have in order to receive the best education that high school can
provide me,” Scherer says.
As the president of the school’s Earth Club; it’s Scherer’s
job to hold school clean-up activities and recycling days where
she brings together Earth Club members to pick up trash in
the parking lot around the school and sort through recycling.
Scherer has engaged herself in many community service
projects with the National Honor Society, including handing out
water at the water station for the Canyonlands Half Marathon
and serving food at the pasta dinner.
Scherer also serves as a mentor for young children at the
Amigos Club program. She is Grand County’s Sterling Scholar
nominee in Foreign Language, a member of FCCLA, a debate
team captain, and member of the National Honor Society.
Scherer has placed in many debate tournaments over the
last four years, along with placing in Envirothon and FBLA
competitions. Scherer works at Canyonlands Natural History
Association during the week as a paid intern. Scherer’s posthigh school plans include attending college at either Northern
Arizona University, Colorado University at Boulder, or the
University of Utah and taking up a major in Spanish.
Bentley, also a senior, is the son of Scott Bentley and Leticia
Bentley. His favorite class is English 1010. “The professor is
great at allowing us to write on nearly any subject, which gives
me a lot of freedom when it comes to writing assignments,”
Bentley says. He listed his most challenging class as
government. “It’s mostly note-taking, and this makes it hard to
stay focused, especially when there’s so much information to
have to digest.”
This year, Bentley has taken
FCHD
Human
Development
and English 1010 through USU
Extension. “I thought it would
benefit me later to take these extra
college-level classes,” Bentley
says.
Bentley participates in the
Amigos Club program where he
helps mentor under-privileged
children and keeps track of all the
mentors who show up.
The sports that Bentley has
been involved with at GCHS
include: football all four years of
high school, track and field for three years, and wrestling for
two years. This year, he was named to The Salt Lake Tribune
first team all-state in football and to the Deseret News all-state
second team.
Bentley holds an after-school job at the Moab Recreation
and Aquatics Center, working at the front desk. When asked
what would make this school a better place he replied, “More
student participation, and more trash cans placed in the parking
lots to prevent so much littering.” Bentley’s post-high school
plans include going to college and studying athletic training.
The GCHS Student of the Month program is sponsored by
the local Elks Lodge under the direction of Frank Vaccaro. The
high school coordinator is Richard Jenkinson. The students are
also recognized by the Rotary Club and Grand County School
District Board of Education. The program was started by the
Elks to recognize students who are outstanding in the areas
of character, leadership, service, citizenship and scholastic
performance.

SPORTS & ACTIVITIES
Lady Devils win first 2 region contests
The Grand County High School girls
basketball team won their first two region
games to improve to 9-2 overall, but then lost
three straight region contests.
The Lady Devils saw their first region win
in nearly three years when they defeated the
Wasatch Academy Tigers at Moab by the score
of 54-40 on Jan. 9.
“That was a big win for us, for us to be able
to get that huge weight off our backs and get
our first region win,” said GCHS head coach
Tony Chacon. The Lady Devils hadn’t won a
region game since beating South Sevier 50-48
in double overtime on Feb. 12, 2011.
Against Wasatch Academy, Grand got off to
a slow start, managing just six points in the
first period, which ended in a 6-6 tie. Half of
Grand’s points that quarter came on a 3-pointer
made by senior Alena Geiser on the first shot of
the game. The Lady Devils gained momentum
and ended up outscoring the Tigers 17-9 in the
second period and 18-10 in the third to build
a 16-point lead heading into the final period.
Sophomore Talaunee Croasmun scored 16
points to lead the way for Grand, while Sadie
Hansen and Shailee Croasmun added nine
points each. Brook Schultz added eight points
and five rebounds.
Grand made just 6-of-16 free throw attempts
during the game, but the Tigers shot even worse
from the free throw line, converting just 3-of18 attempts. “We need to start improving on
our foul shooting,” said Chacon, who added,
“Still, we played a good game all around, and
it was a big confidence boost for us.”
In their second region game, the Lady
Devils defeated San Juan at Blanding on
Jan. 14, winning the hard-fought contest in
overtime, 67-61.
The Lady Devils opened up a double-digit
lead early in the game and raced to a 34-16
halftime lead.
“We came out firing on all cylinders in the
first half,” said coach Chacon, “We really took
it to them. But right at the end of the third
quarter, San Juan hit a shot at the buzzer that
gave them a spark, and there was a huge shift
in the momentum of the game.”
The Lady Broncos outscored Grand 3018 in the final period, but missed a potential
game-winning free throw in the final seconds.
Regulation ended with the score tied 57-57.
“We kept fumbling the ball away and
making mistake after mistake, but I just told
the girls to calm down and take care of the
ball,” Chacon added.
Shailee Croasmun, who led all scorers with
29 points, hit four crucial free throws during
overtime to help seal the victory. Also scoring
in double figures for the Lady Devils were
Schultz, who made 14 points and collected
seven rebounds, and Call, who had 13 points
and eight rebounds.
“It was a good experience for them to get a
big lead, then lose it, then come back and win
the game,” Chacon said. “It’s always hard to
win on the road at Blanding, so this was a big
win for us.”
Both teams had multiple players foul out,
with San Juan seeing four or five of its players
sent to the bench after committing their fifth
foul. For Grand, Geiser and Hansen each also
fouled out.
Grand attempted 60 free throws during
the foul-plagued contest, making 34 of them,
or 57 percent. San Juan shot 23 free throws,
converting 12, or 52 percent.
Despite getting off to a promising 2-0 start
in Region 15 play, the Lady Devils lost their
next three region contests, falling at home to
Emery on Jan. 21 by the score of 64-51, then
losing on the road to both South Sevier on Jan.
24 and North Sevier on Jan. 25.
In the Jan. 21 game against Emery, the
Lady Devils shot poorly in the first period,
falling behind 23-3. Midway through the
second quarter, Emery had built a 38-8 lead,
after which Grand finally started to score more

consistently. Still, the Lady Spartans posted
a 41-20 halftime lead and went on to win the
game by 13 points, 64-51.
At South Sevier in Monroe on Friday, Jan.
24, the Lady Devils again got off to a slow
start and trailed 29-14 at halftime.
“We were tired and hadn’t gotten enough
rest,” Chacon said, noting that several of his
players had attended a school dance the night
before.
“South Sevier came out with a press defense
and jumped on us pretty quickly,” Chacon
added. “We were prone to make mistakes and
couldn’t get any continuity or transition very
well.”
The Lady Rams went on to win the game
by 20 points, 56-36. Shailee Croasmun scored
22 points to lead Grand in scoring, and also
recorded seven rebounds and two steals.
The Lady Devils traveled to nearby Salina
on Saturday to play North Sevier. The Lady
Wolves ended up winning the game in overtime
by two points, 49-47, but Grand coach Chacon
said his players played a much better game
than they had the night before.
“This time, we had plenty of rest, and were
a lot more aggressive right from the get-go,”
Chacon said. Grand led 13-12 at the end of the
first period and 26-22 at the half. North Sevier
outscored the Lady Devils 13-8 in the third
period to take a one-point lead into the final
quarter, which was a low-scoring affair. Grand
scored just five points in the fourth period, but
held the Lady Wolves to four, and the game
went into a five-minute overtime tied at 39.
“It was a back-and-forth battle the whole
game, with no more than a five or six point
lead for either team the entire time,” Chacon
said. “We had the ball with the score tied at
the very end of regulation, and Talaunee
Croasmun got pushed and lost the ball out of
bounds with two seconds left, but no foul was
called, and it went into overtime.”
Shailee Croasmun, who led all scorers with
18 points, fouled out of the game during the
overtime period. Talaunee Croasmun managed
to sink two long 3-pointers to help keep the
Lady Devils within striking distance down
the stretch, but North Sevier ultimately came
away with the two-point victory.
“Those are the type of games you really
have to win, but we at least had a chance,”
Chacon said. “If a couple of turnovers or a
couple calls had gone differently, we might
have had a different outcome.”
Grand also beat Dove Creek, Colo. 45-41
at Moab on Jan. 28 to improve to 10-5 overall,
2-3 in region play. The Lady Devils were
scheduled to travel to Mount Pleasant to play
Wasatch Academy on Jan. 30. They will then
have four more region games in February.
Boys basketball starts 3-1 in region
By Robin Willscheidt
The GCHS varsity boys basketball lost a hard-fought game on Jan. 3 against the
Monticello Buckaroos and won decisively on Jan. 4 against the Maeser Preparatory
Academy Lions.
Friday’s
matchup
against
the
Buckaroos was a fight to the end, with the
Red Devils eventually falling short of a
victory by only seven points – 63-56.
Behind by 14 points in the beginning
of the third quarter, the Red Devils rallied
and eventually tied the game in the last
five minutes of the fourth quarter. With
the score at 54-54, the Buckaroos scored
nine points and the Red Devils scored
only two before the final buzzer.
Senior Adam Jenkinson led the Red
Devils in points scored.
The GCHS starting varsity team
also included seniors Koi Cook, Kaden
Risenhoover, Trevor Bertuzzi and Hunter
Stitzer.
“We made some mistakes down the
stretch,” said GCHS head coach Brook
Shumway. “Now we know what to work Koi Cook loses control of the ball during win over

on.”
The following evening, Jan. 4, the Red
Devil squad scored a landslide victory over the Maeser Prep Lions. Grand came
out strong at the beginning of the game and kept a firm lead for the duration of the
contest. Grand easily outpaced the Lions to end the game with an 82-29 win.
“We came out and led from the start. We never relinquished the lead,” Shumway
said. GCHS seniors Cook, Risenhoover, Bertuzzi and Stitzer led the game on the
starting varsity team. Junior Tanner White filled Jenkinson’s spot as a starter after
Jenkinson was injured in the Jan. 3 game against Monticello and was unable to play
on Saturday.
“We’re still in the pre-season. We’re trying to improve each game and fix little
problems so that we’ll be ready for region,” Shumway said.
The Red Devils next defeated Pinnacle Academy 70-42 in a non-region game in
Moab on Jan. 7 before heading into their first region contest of the season on Jan.
11 against Wasatch Academy at Mount Pleasant. Top-ranked Wasatch Academy
won that game by 50, oustscoring the Red Devils 85-35.
But
Grand
then
rebounded to win their
next three region contests,
beating San Juan at Moab
on Jan. 15 by the score of
77-56, then beating South
Sevier 58-55 at Moab on
Jan. 24, followed by a 5246 home win over North
Sevier on Jan. 25.
The Jan. 15 home game
against San Juan, Grand’s
arch rival, set the stage for
a fierce contest. In the first
minutes of the game, Red
Devils jumped out ahead of
the Broncos, taking an early
9-0 lead.
By the end of the first
half, the Red Devils had
expanded their lead to more

than 20.
“We started out great.
The defense was working really well and we definitely had them in the first half,”
said Shumway.
The Broncos came back strong in the second half, cutting Grand’s lead to 12
points as the Red Devils struggled to effectively pass the ball.
“We were kind of all over in the third quarter. We didn’t pass very well,” said
Shumway.
But the Red Devils managed to put their game back together in the fourth
quarter to end the contest with the 21-point win over the Broncos.
Risenhoover led the Red Devils in scoring with 21 points, and Jenkinson, Cook
and Bertuzzi also scored in double-digits.
“We had four kids who scored in double figures. It was great,” said Shumway.
Following their big home wins over North Sevier and South Sevier on Jan. 24
and 25, the Red Devils (8-4 overall, 3-1 in Region 15 as of Jan. 29) were scheduled
to play three games the final week of January: at Emery on Jan. 29, against Wasatch
Academy at Moab on Jan. 31, and at Green River for a non-region contest on
Saturday, Feb. 1

Red Devil wrestlers gearing up for region and state meets in February
The Grand County High School
wrestling team finished in fifth place
overall out of 12 teams at the Gunnison
Invitational meet held in Gunnison,
Utah, Jan. 10-11.
The Red Devils scored 42 total
points at the meet, according to GCHS
head coach Dennis Wells.
Manti High School took first place
overall with 87 points. With 63 total
points, Millard took second place,
followed by Piute, with 45 points and

Two Red Devil wrestlers went
undefeated throughout the tournament.
GCHS senior Gage Lindquist, wrestling
at 120 pounds, went 9-0 and took first
place in his division, as did Red Devil
heavyweight Edgar Gomez, also a
senior at GCHS.
Fellow Red Devil senior Jacob
Francis, wrestling at 138 pounds,
suffered his first defeat of the season
in the tournament finals, losing in a 3-1
decision to Millard’s Justin Sorensen.

OPINION
What is your opinion on
same-sex marriage?
By Sarah Stalpes
“What is your opinion on same-sex marriage?”
When first asked to write this editorial article, I
feared what actually writing my opinion for my school
to see might bring. I recall last year while discussing
my thoughts on gay rights to a friend in class, a guy
sitting next to us made a comment about how sick
and disturbed we were for even allowing that thought
to cross our minds.
I thought long and hard about writing this,
thinking of whether or not I’d be treated differently
by staff or other students. Finally, I concluded that
as long as this topic remained important to me then
it didn’t matter if others disagreed or disliked me
afterwards. Besides, what are opinions for?
I’m a strong believer that marriage is marriage!
Same sex or not, it’s all the same. I understand that
some may not stand in agreement with this comment,
but what I have a difficult time understanding is why.
We are all human; we all crave love and affection.
Some girls like girls, and some guys like guys; that’s
just how it is.
I grew up in a household full of many different
perspectives with very diverse people, but we all
had one thing in common and that was the beauty
of an open mind. My mother never put limits on how
we took in information; she always told my siblings
and me that there are infinite answers and infinite
questions, and that we were to decide which ones
best suited our beliefs.
If everyone lived with these standards, I feel as
though the argument on whether or not same-sex
marriage remains right or wrong wouldn’t exist as an
argument at all.
Of course, there’s always going to be someone
who opposes the idea, but it would not be as over
dramatized as it is today. To me, the true problem
with “gay marriage” is that people are forgetting that
in reality it’s just marriage, although some seem to
think that marriage must only exist between a man
and a woman.
I revolve my thoughts of marriage around the
force of love. I hope that one day everyone will share
this credence. Until then, my plan is to do my best
with generously sharing and kindly accepting others’
views.

So many cool things have
been going on too, like Senior Snowball! I had a blast,
but I kind of regret never going until my senior year. I
hardcore danced and ate some dang good food. Oh,
get this: both basketball teams beat San Juan and
wrestling did too! Woohoo!
This trimester has been a blast and I can’t wait to
spend one more with my amazing peers and party like
crazy! (: For all of you people out there living life with
“what ifs,” change them and make them “I’ll do’s”. You
make this school year what you want and have fun
doing it. I am now realizing that you have to just have
fun in high school because when you get so close to
moving away from it, you wish it would stay. Just one
more day in a hard English class, or one more day of
mat ball… a wish we all have to keep and roll with it
when it is over. For now though, I’m going to part from
this article in hopes you all took the time to listen to the
322 words I have given you. Enjoy this trimester, Red
Devils!
Yours truly, Haley!

Game review: Animal
Crossing: New Leaf
By Delaney Manley
Graphics: 7.5/10
Gameplay: 8/10
Animal Crossing: New Leaf is the fourth main title in
the Animal Crossing series by Nintendo, released on June
9, 2013 for the Nintendo 3DS.
The Animal Crossing series exists as an outlet of play
for those looking for a casual and lighthearted experience
as is the trend with the majority of 3DS titles available.
Despite the absence of a gritty and stalwart protagonist or
an enthralling plot line, being that that is not remotely the
intention of the game in the first place, New Leaf succeeds
in improving upon its antecessors and cajoling a sense of
escape and achievement upon playing.
Unlike the previous Animal Crossing installments,
instead of acting as a villager, the player assumes the role
of the town mayor, which appropriately allows the players
to develop their town and lends their interactions with
their animal “residents” a new flavor. New Leaf sells itself
in a way similar to how it has successfully sold the entire
series: by creating a mirthful and easy-going environment
for casual play over an extended period of time.
Those expecting a rollercoaster-like experience
jammed with the twists and action of the century will
remain disenchanted and left to the vast library of titles
created to satisfy their needs; those looking for a breezy
time-consumer will find themselves enjoying the light
aesthetic and amusing writing of the game.
The freedom of the game allows the player to take
the simulation aspect and adapt it into an opportunity for
unleashing one’s creativity and releasing stress through
talking with the new villagers, customizing one’s town
(New Leaf introduces the application of QR codes to
create, use, or share new designs) or fishing, bug-catching
and fruit-harvesting.
Animal Crossing: New Leaf is an enjoyable experience
for the casual 3DS gamer and for anyone else who is
willing to give it a chance, despite its lack of complex and
abstract entertainment value.
Movie review: Saving Mr. Banks
By Madi Stocks
If
you
are
anything like me,
you love all things
Disney, including a
timeless classic Mary
Poppins. Of course if
you know anything
about the movie
Mary Poppins you would know that it was a novel before
a movie. The movie Saving Mr. Banks was set in the time
between the book and the rights to the movie being signed
over to Disney in 1961. The movie tells the story of how
Walt Disney had been trying for over 20 years to get the
rights to make Mary Poppins (the book) into a movie. The
woman who wrote the book (P.L. Travers) is very resistant
for most of the movie; she doesn’t want to give Walt the
rights.
The movie has an excellent cast, including Emma
Thompson, Tom Hanks, Colin Farrell, Ruth Wilson and
Annie Rose Buckley. Each person has taken care of their
roles very well. You can tell they all care more about what
it is and what it means to so many people. So if you haven’t
watched Mary Poppins, find it or rent in and have a movie
night. Then go and watch Saving Mr. Banks because it is
most definitely worth it.
Movie review: Anchorman 2
By Alec Tatton and Garrett Brown
10 out 10
PG-13 (Pretty good or 13/13)
Anchorman 2 was one and a half
hours of cinematic majesty. It quite
literally knocked the socks off of my
feet. I have never experienced the vast
plethora of emotions that I experienced
on that excellent night of viewing
pleasure. I think everyone needs to
experience the gripping tale of the one
man who loses it all and has to regain
the trust of his broken family.
Brick (played by none other than comedy genius Steve
Carrell) was the one man that brought the entire movie
together into one excellent motion picture of excellence.
“I can always guess how many jelly beans are in a jelly
bean jar, even if I’m wrong,” says Brick Tamland during
an emotional part of the cinematic experience. Throughout
the movie, Brick will open your heart and mind to a whole
new world of thinking; he made me laugh and cry. If one
man knows how to provoke your emotions, it is Brick
Tamland.
Ron Burgundy leaves everything he knows, and
rebuilds his news team and reporting career in New York
City. He proves young reporting hot shot Jack Lime wrong
when Burgundy get the best ratings ever and wins a bet in
which Jack must change his last name from Lime to Lame,
legally. Ron impressed the news company’s president
so much she becomes interested in him and builds a
relationship with him. Soon after though, Jack Lime, in a
jealous fury, trips Ron when he is performing a radical ice
skating routine.
Burgundy is rendered blind by the most unrighteous
ice skating accident. He then has to face trials no man
should ever face. While he had
no sight, he found a young shark
that he named “Doby”. He raised
the infant shark and nursed it back
to health until he released it back
into the ocean. It is truly a triumph
of the human spirit. “I hope
you eat lots of fish and people,”
says Burgundy’s son when he
is released back into the wild.
The musical number “Doby”
will move your heart to places
that you didn’t think it could go
(emotionally not physically).
The end of this movie has the most star-studded cast
of any film that has ever existed, ever. It has characters
ranging from Will Smith as an ESPN news reporter to
Liam Neeson as the head of the History Channel’s news
team. It is a most excellent (mexcellent) battle scene that
involves many different news reporters battling for really
no reason. It is an exhilarating, heart-pumping, actionpacked adventure that will not let you sleep the next night
from pure adrenaline.
This on-screen majesty is one that will change a
generation for the better, from Ron giving his son girl
advice to Doby coming back for his revenge and getting
cast away by Baxter (Ron’s Dog), to Brick’s girlfriend
telling everyone about how she is 22 months pregnant.
I would recommend this movie to anyone who wants to
laugh a lot and have a change of heart.

American Hustle (2013). Rated R
Over the course of the winter holiday
break, I learned two things. One, Netflix is the
ultimate thief of one’s social life. And two, I am
really getting the best out of this advantage of
free movies at the movie theater. I went to the
movies around six times over the break. Five
of those times were to Anchorman 2 (wow, I
can actually feel the eye rolls) and one of them
was to American Hustle. Now, I’m sure if this
article was on Anchorman 2, a whole lot of
you wouldn’t even be reading this right now
(even though I felt it was a great movie). So I
decided to review the “gripping drama” that is
American Hustle.
In a nutshell, this movie is the classic story
of criminal turned cop, but in this case the
master con-artists Irving Rosenfeld (played
by Christian Bale) and Sydney Prosser (Amy Adams) are
forced to work for FBI agent Richie Dimaso (Bradley
Cooper) after being busted for fraud. They then proceed
to enter a world of Jersey politicians and mobsters in an
attempt to bring them down. Jeremy Renner plays mayor
Carmine Polito who is caught in between the con artists
and the feds and Jennifer Lawrence plays Irene, Irving’s
wife.
Now, I’m just going to be up front with you here.
When I walked out of this movie, I gave a little shrug.
To me, personally, it just felt like it didn’t live up to its
expectations and here’s why! This movie has a 92 percent
rating on Rotten Tomatoes and people
are raving about how it is “Masterful”
and “Dynamic”. While I agree with
these statements (partially), I just don’t
feel it was as grand as it was made up
to be. The main problem is that they
spent so much time building it up and
talking it up that I was expecting to
see an absolute masterpiece of modern
cinema. When I walked into that
theater, I was expecting to be moved
and to be thrilled, but what I ended up
getting was just a little caught up in the
mix. Don’t get me wrong, David O.
Russell is a great writer and a wonderful
director, but what we have here is a
little bit too much overcasting. It felt
as though I was never honestly able
to connect with any of the characters
because every time we would start to get close to them,
the scene would change. It was difficult for me to skip
back and forth between the characters and their internal
struggles and then go back to the basis of the main plot.
However, I can say that all of the actors in this film gave
tremendous performances, I would have just liked more
time to get to know them.
All in all, American Hustle was a good movie, but with
an abundance of characters, somewhat awkward directing
choices, and a 2 hour 18 minute running time, I would say
it would be best to save your eight dollars because:
American Hustle = can wait for Red Box or Netflix.
