The Legend Of Tarzan Continues

A review of a must-see film.

Legend of Tarzan official website

Summer is the perfect time to catch up on all of the intriguing movies you never had time to see during the school year. Whether you're sitting through an awful viewing of the latest film released, or you're hoping the end of the movie you're seeing never comes because it's just that good, movies are always a grand topic of conversation.

The latest movie on my radar, The Legend of Tarzan, deserves a "must-see" label. I know what you're thinking. The legend can only go so far, and the Disney movie is a good-enough version of the tale for me. But you'll realize you're wrong after seeing the latest movie.

I could say some about the appearance of Tarzan, I mean John Clayton III, about his swooning capabilities and that ever so dreamy look he perfects throughout the movie. Seeing John swing through the jungle and bond with all the animals will grab your heart in a quick second. If you're looking for a steamy romance or an adorable love story, this movie fits well. The passion and love shared between John and Jane is shown so well between the characters on screen, dialogue isn't even needed. A quote from one of the movie characters, Mr. Rom, sums up John and Jane's relationship well: "You're Jane and he's Tarzan. He'll come."

The Legend of Tarzan is the ideal movie choice for any person and/or group. Guys can accompany their girlfriends to this movie without claiming they're seeing a "chick-flick." Girls can accompany their boyfriends to this movie without becoming bored of the same fighting scenes within the first half-hour. This movie has a sentimental side as well as a thrilling action side: a great combination.

The critics would definitely disagree with this article. An unfortunate 34% on Rotten Tomatoes, I don't believe The Legend of Tarzan was given justice. The concept of Tarzan is a fantasy - in what real world would a man be able to grow up peacefully with apes and become just like them, for a better part of his life? Fantasies can only be portrayed so realistically. Perhaps unrealistic movies aren't for you, and if so, I would say view this movie with an open mind. Some of the concepts behind this movie jumped out as somewhat beautiful to me: the human-animal bonds, the scenery, the love between John and Jane, and most fascinating, the relationship between John, Jane, and members of an African tribe they know well. Moves are all about perspective, and it's up to the audience what they decide to take away from the screen.

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.
