We the unwilling, led by the unqualified, have been doing the unbelievable for so long, with so little, we now attempt the impossible with nothing. - Mini-School Credo

With Honors, a Movie Review

March 1, 1994 by Mini Archives

By Angie Peterson I saw this movie a few weeks ago and it wasn’t very realistic, it was definitely a movie. It was about roommates at Harvard in their senior year getting really stressed out over graduation. One of them, Monty, finds a homeless man and they change each others lives. Monty becomes more light-hearted … [Read more…]

Movie Reviews: The Crow

March 1, 1994 by Mini Archives

By Lola Ulvog This film was very gripping. This may be partly due to the fact that Brandon Lee died making it. It is based on a comic and the plot revolves around revenge. Brandon Lee stars as a man who was pushed out of a 3 story window after watching his fiance raped and … [Read more…]

Book Review of The Handmaid’s Tale

March 1, 1994 by Mini Archives

By Lola Ulvog This book can be compared to George Orwell’s 1984 as it is a story of a twisted and controlled future. In this story, women have lost all rights, the Congress and President have been assassinated, and people are ruled by fear. The United States is no longer. It is now the Republic … [Read more…]

Countdown to Extinction

March 1, 1993 by Mini Archives

By David Kytkoskee Hello, I’m back with another concert review. This issue’s review is on Megadeth. The shelter was Roy Wilkins Auditorium with the group Suicidal Tendencies opening up. Speaking of S.T., I’ve never heard them before, so I can’t say much about them except: I like ‘em. The one song that sticks in my … [Read more…]

Metallica

November 1, 1992 by Mini Archives

By Raeann Rasmussen I, too, was able to attend the Guns ‘N Metallica concert along with Faith No More. My intentions to go were mainly for Guns and FNM. If this concert was only Metallica, I probably wouldn’t have bought a ticket. It’s not that I don’t like Metallica, in fact I like everything I’ve … [Read more…]

Concert of the Summer?

November 1, 1992 by Mini Archives

By David Zytkoskee The big concert this summer was the Metallica, Faith No More, and Guns n’ Roses concert. The date was originally set for August 5th, but was postponed when Axl Rose “blew” out his voice and couldn’t sing (could he ever sing?). So my friends and I had to wait another month before … [Read more…]

The Last of the Mohicans

November 1, 1992 by Mini Archives

By Bradon Marcuccini I saw “Last of the Mohicans” two weeks ago. I saw it with a couple of friends, but I don’t think any of us spoke the whole time because the movie was so engrossing. The plot of the movie isn’t very difficult to spot. The story takes place in early America. The … [Read more…]
