Edward Green

The co-writers of “The Quiet Place,” Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, bring you an exciting thriller/horror inside the head of a well-mannered creep, or at least in his house. A24 did it again, making a suspenseful “horror” movie with “Heretic.” I personally won’t call it a horror movie because there aren’t many jump-scares and it’s not gore/torture porn like your average modern horror movie. The movie follows two girls who are part of the Mormon church knocking door to door till they arrive at Mr. Reed’s door, played by Hugh Grant. The lesson we can all learn from the trailer…

Corpus Christi police’s most anticipated upgrade

Edward Green

The Corpus Christi Police Academy is growing. Cadets will soon leave behind their current 8,000-square foot building on Corona Drive for a new 34,000-square foot facility on Del Mar College’s Oso Creek Campus.

They did it in phases, and phase one was the outdoor range, and that’s all we ever got to,” Senior Officer Travis Pace stated. Pace was a training instructor with the academy for 17 years. Pace…
