Letter: People should be more critical of some Biblical stories

Daily Lobo Readers | September 19

Samson in the Bible was a suicide bomber! Samson prayed to God to help him to murder his enemies as he killed himself. The Bible says the building Samson destroyed was full of men and women and 3,000 more people were on the roof. (Judges 16: 25-30.) Samson killed possibly more people that day than were killed on 9/11 at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Movie Review: "Equals" aesthetically pleasing, but leaves some to be desired

Audrin Baghaie | September 16

“Equals” is a 2015 science fiction-romance hybrid written and directed by Drake Doremus, and starring Nicholas Hoult and Kristen Stewart. The film details life in a post-war, dystopian society built to maximize productivity by suppressing human emotion. It’s pretty crazy, but the premise is not unheard of. The film is a celebration of futuristic-minimalism themes; it blurs the line between utopia nd dystopia and references films like “Her” and “The Hunger Games.”
