DVD Review: Forget Me Not


by Karl Madsen, Media Editor-Horror


Remember all your friends from school? Can you remember all the schoolmates you dated, partied with, cruised and hung out with? Or have you forgotten a few acquaintances? I’ll look at a yearbook and my sister will have to remind me “You dated her in your sophomore year”, or “You were best friends’ senior year”.  But what if your friends start to disappear, time is altering, and no one remembers them except you.

Blu-ray Review: Some Like it Hot


Josephine and Daphne looking forward to warmer climates.


by Karl Madsen, Media Editor


What do you do when you and your musician friend just happen to be in a Chicago garage on Valentine’s Day 1929? And while you’re there some people stop by. People with bad intentions. With guns. And lots of bullets. Any you’re witnesses. My first choice would be to dress as women, join an all girl orchestra, and head to Florida. But that’s just me.


Oddly enough that’s what Joe (Tony Curtis – Spartacus), and Jerry (Jack Lemmon – The Odd Couple) decide to do when the witness a mob hit by Spats Colombo (George Raft – Johnny Angel) in Some Like it Hot.

Blu-ray Review: Hotel Rwanda

   

“I think if people see this footage they’ll say, “Oh my God that’s horrible,” and then go on eating their dinners.”

by Brenda Waldrop, Media Editor

Sadly, as chronicled in the epic film Hotel Rwanda, that’s precisely what most of the world did.  In April of 1994 they sat back, eating their dinners and living their lives, while they watched as a genocide claiming the lives of over 800,000 Rwandans raged in a country that most people had barely heard of.  Based on the true story of Paul Rusesabagina, expertly portrayed by Don Cheadle, who saved over 1,200 Tutsi’s during the 100 day genocide in 1994.

iPad Game Review: Thor Son of Asgard

by Caleb Paullus, Media Editor, Games

You’ve seen the movie right? If you haven’t read our review on it and then get your butt into a theater and watch it already!

Okay, you’re back, you’ve seen the movie. Now, buy the game on your iPad or iPhone! Thor: Son of Asgard, now available in the App Store, is a fun game where players assume the role of Thor and take an epic journey to defend Odin’s Kingdom.

Let me clarify that the game has NOTHING to do with the movie. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but don’t buy the gaming thinking it’s based off the movie.
