Top Movies of 2023

Image
By Lia Low In June 2023, the long-anticipated Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse came out in theaters. Within less than two weeks, it made more at the box office than the first film, Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse . It quickly became Sony Pictures Animation's highest-grossing film. Watchers are already prepared for the next film, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse , even though it will take another few years to come out. It was a two hour and twenty minute masterpiece of animation and I would recommend this movie to anyone who appreciates super-heros (Spider-Man), art, or animated films. The Little Mermaid live action movie was released in May 2023. The movie is two hours and fifteen minutes long. The original animation was released in 1989. Impressively, this movie’s plot closely follows the original’s. Actress Halle Bailey became the new face of Princess Ariel, inspiring many young Brown and Black girls. Children’s reactions to the trailer flooded soci...

Terry Fox Run

By Anna Segelken  On September 21st, during second block, Templeton students participated in the Terry Fox run. A few teachers spoke to the students before the run, including Mr. Braun, whose speech was “very moving and inspirational,” according to one teacher. Then, the entire student body set out to run or walk the 2.5km course. There were “800 people on the sidewalk… it was funny,” noted one student. Teachers were “happy that all the students participated”, and they think that “we should continue this tradition.” The Terry Fox run is important to students, with one adding that they “don’t think you can find a single person whose life hasn’t been impacted by cancer.” When asked about Terry Fox, students called him “amazing,” “a good person,” and “important.” He increased cancer awareness and inspired a nation. He is currently on the shortlist of candidates to be on our next five dollar bill. Templeton raised $224.80 for cancer research this year. A total of $850 million has been ...

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour!

By Lia Low Since her debut in 2009, Taylor Swift has released ten original studio albums, four of which she re-recorded with added songs “From the Vault.” Following the rerelease of her album 1989 (Taylor’s Version) , Taylor Swift announced three additional shows for the Eras Tour in Canada. She will be touring in Vancouver at BC Place in 2024 on December 6th, 7th, and 8th. Registration was open from November 2nd to November 4th and presale codes were emailed on November 8th and 9th.  Swifties said that though picking and purchasing available seats was the hardest part of the process for the Toronto show, receiving the codes in the first place was the main challenge in Vancouver. The RBC Avion codes were emailed on November 15th.  If you have not gotten tickets yet, do not fret, as you can still stand outside the stadium to listen to her. From the information passed between her fans (I am ‘fans’), the price range in Ontario ranged from roughly $180-$1,160. So far, Swifties in ...

By Phoenix Nguyen Have you ever caught a glimpse of Templeton in the background while immersed in a movie marathon, questioning your sanity amid all the studying? Well, you might not be going crazy! Those scenes might actually be shot at our beloved school! Below is a list of films that feature the school. The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina If you've ever been captivated by the story of the teenage witch dwelling in the haunted Spellman Sisters Mortuary residence, striving to balance the complexities of her dual identity—half mortal, half witch—while combating the evil forces endangering her town, then you might find familiarity in Baxter High gym’s images.  Totally Killer Coming up next is a recent time-travel teen slasher comedy for the spooky season that follows Jamie (Kiernan Shipka from "The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina") as her mother falls victim to a series of murders connected to a dark chapter from thirty years ago.
