AYSW? | Cornell Cinema

Go to two mainstream movie theaters on opposite sides of the United States, and chances are that they are both playing modern releases like The Drama or The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. While those movies may be desirable to some, more often than not, audiences can feel stuck choosing between one poorly rated modern release and another. What if there were a theater where all of the movies were classic? What if there was a place where an intentional team hand-picked wonderful films that you could always count on for a good watch? Look no further than Cornell Cinema, our resident year-long film festival. Located under the busy hub of Willard Straight Hall, Cornell Cinema hums with the sound of manually operated projectors and offers a wide range of documentaries, animated films, Oscar-nominated features and new discoveries. So, grab a seat and get yourself some popcorn as we look at some of Cornell Cinema’s best showings this semester.

Alley Cat Cafe: A Home Away From Home

With Cornell’s iron grip on my social life, finding the time to go to Downtown Ithaca can feel like a feat in itself. Between back-to-back classes, problem sets and fighting for a seat in Temple of Zeus cafe, leaving the borders of campus feels impossible. But when I found out about Ithaca's very own cat cafe, I knew I had to make the time. So, one afternoon between classes, I rallied my friends and made the trek downtown to the wonderful Alley Cat Cafe, which, in my opinion, is peak Ithaca.

Connecting and Coalescing: Zayn Malik’s ‘KONNAKOL’

With the subtle emergence of cherry blossom season and volatile outbursts of blazing winds and rainstorms, it’s clear we are living in a season of uncertainty. Fortunately, Zayn Malik’s fifth studio album, KONNAKOL, exudes the palpable hope fluttering about in the air. With this new release, Malik affirms his new, authentic style to his audience by masterfully blending R&B with hints of South Asian harmonies. 

Just Say 'Hi!'

Picture this: You’re walking in the library, down the street or quite literally anywhere on campus, and you see someone you kind of know — not particularly a friend, but not a stranger either. You debate in your head whether or not you should say “hi.” As you mentally go back and forth, you end up passing each other without even making eye contact, the awkwardness looming in the air as you both say nothing. Why do we do that? Why not just say hi?

‘Something Very Bad is Going to Happen’ is a Bloody Masterpiece

“That’s it, I’m never getting married.” That was quite literally my only thought after finishing the final episode of Netflix’s newest horror saga, Something Very Bad is Going to Happen. Trailers and edits of the eight-part miniseries first graced my feed a couple weeks ago, and I was immediately pulled in by visuals of lead actress Camila Morrone in a blood-soaked wedding gown. If you were as big of a fan of Daisy Jones and the Six as I was in 2023, then you’ll know and love Morrone for her supporting role as Camila Alvarez in the show. This time, however, Morrone took the spotlight as the final girl Rachel Harkin in Something Very Bad is Going to Happen, and she certainly did not disappoint.

Ithaca College alumnus Bob Iger left the position of Chief Executive Officer at the Walt Disney Company early in 2026, with Josh D’Amaro stepping into the role.

This comes after many other cost-cutting measures since 2022, including previous workforce reductions at Disney.
