“To Catch a Predator” host Chris Hansen is being brought back in the spotlight after the release of “Primetime,” a psychological thriller based on the show and produced by A24.
This suspenseful and riveting film directed by Lance Oppenheim follows Hansen (Robert Pattinson) and his crew, who work together to capture and humiliate adult men talking to children online.
The events in the film are based on the Dateline show and the now-archived Esquire article “Tonight on Dateline This Man Will Die." Since the Internet becomes more advanced by the day, this film can reveal warning signs to viewers that they never noticed before.
Taylor Swift is one of the biggest pop artists OH students know in pop culture, and at the VMAs (the MTV Video Music Awards), she showed her pride in being a top artist for many by presenting a new music video, and taking home three awards, one being a New Inaugural Director Honors Award, which represented Swift’s artistry.
The VMAs took place on Sep. 27, at 6:30 PM CDT, and one of the many artists who was recognized and awarded for their art, was Swift.
Fans has to wait an additional 20 minutes for the show due to a Cowboys vs. Ravens game, which angered Swifties, her fan base, worldwide, as Swift was presenting her new music video for her song “Patient Zero” from “The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore,” and being presented the first inaugural Artist Director Honors award.
On top of these two things, Swift also took home Video of The Year for her music video for “The Fate of Ophelia" and Best Direction for her music video for “Opalite.”
“She’s pretty prolific, she writes nonstop, you can just see by how much she continuously [[is]] developing and releasing new music,” said OH English teacher Erin Holtz regarding Swift’s achievements.
Upon learning that celebrity singer/songwriter and humanitarian Dolly Parton had passed away, OH junior Ayaan Khan was one of the people who felt affected.
“I was really sad to hear about her passing because she was a really important person in music and entertainment," Khan said. "[[She]] also had a lot of impact on people around the world.”
Though Khan, like most people, never met Parton, she held a deep legacy through her stories of growing through hardship and finding kindness and beauty in the world.
“I was upset to hear about Parton's passing. She was an important person to everyone and changed a lot of people's lives,” OH junior Emma Villanueva said.
Khan and Villanueva are not alone in their feelings toward Parton. Today, Sept. 25, is being touted as "Dolly Parton Day," in honor of her popular song and the film in which she started, "9-to-5", which will return to theaters this October in honor of her legacy.
Books don't always make the best translation from print to screen, but “Tony,” directed by Matt Johnson and based on Anthony Bourdain’s memoir “Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly,” is *chef's kiss.*
The biopic follows 19-year-old Anthony Bourdain, Tony (played by Dominic Sessa), in the mid-1970’s as he gets his start in the food industry. Bourdain, who became well known for his skills as a chef and then as a travel show host, died in 2018.
He longs to be a writer, but when his fellowship doesn’t work out, he ends up working as a chef in The Flagship, a seaside restaurant in Provincetown, MA.
“I love Anthony Bourdain and the director Matt Johnson. I’m a huge fan of the stuff he’s been releasing recently,” OH senior Ben Altschul said. “Once I saw the cast, I kind of had a feeling I was going to like it a lot.”
OH staff and students alike are ready for the continuation of the 2026 movie run as the weather turns cooler.
Varying from Resident Evil to Avengers: Doomsday, the remainder of 2026 has many eagerly-anticipated movies coming out.
Over the summer, we got some great movies of all kinds, but I and my OH friends are excited to see what's in store for the winter and fall. OH English 4 Critical Interpretations of Literature Forms & Composition teacher Amy Severinski said, “I’m really excited about the Tom Cruise movie... Digger," which opens on Oct. 2 and has been nominated as the Most Anticipated Film at the Astra Midseason Movie Awards.
“I hope there’s also some strong stuff later on this year,” Severinski added when asked if she thinks this second wave of movies will be better than the first.
