I AM THE ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN!

by Kroze Kresky, Media Editor, and Matt Sernaker, Managing Editor

Spider-Man returns to TV with a brand new animated series: Ultimate Spider-Man, premiering on April 1st during the Marvel Universe Animation Block on Disney XD! How does this new series stack up against the previous incarnations? Well…let’s just say that it is no Spectacular Spider-Man.

TV Review: The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes – “The Private War of Doctor Doom”

AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!

by Kroze Kresky, Media Editor, and Matt Sernaker, Managing Editor

This Sunday, The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes returns for Season 2, which features an apperance by the Fantastic Four. Marvel was kind enough to screen the episode early at WonderCon 2012!

TV Review: Community “Digital Exploration of Interior Design”

by Kroze Kresky, Media Editor

After first being screened at WonderCon 2012 to thunderous applause, this episode of Community seems to be the beginning of something epic brewing at Greendale. First off, let me get this out of the way and mention Subway’s sudden involvement in the show as of late. For fans of another NBC cult hit Chuck, they know that when the show was having trouble, they were able to get some additional backing from Subway and it seems that Community is trying to do the same thing here, only to a much more hilarious extent.

TV Review: Breaking In – “Game of Jones”

by Matt Sernaker, Managing Editor

Breaking In continues its hotstreak of episodes with “Game of Jones”!

You know who is great? Jones. He always takes care of everyone in the office. I especially love it when he buys everyone lunch. He sure is nice. Wait… Jones isn’t real? Don’t tell the boss… Oz gets in a bit of trouble when Molly gets suspicious about the missing, but grateous, Mr. Jones, who is supposedly Contra Security’s International Sales Specialist. Oz enlists Cash’s aid to throw her off the trail, but Cash takes things a bit too far. Meanwhile, Cam attempts to subdue his crazy new boss, before she goes off on the entire office.

Movie Review: The Hunger Games

May the odds be ever in your favor.

 

by Jennifer Bay and Karissa Barrows, Editors

I was given The Hunger Games boxed set of books for my birthday.  At the time, I had vaguely heard of it but knew nothing of the story.  After blazing through the series, I have waited impatiently for the release of the first film by the same name.  Karissa, conversely, had not yet read more than the first thirty pages of the first book at the time we saw this movie.  (She did, however, finish reading all three books in two days after seeing the film.)

DVD Review: Breaking Wind

by Chris Kane, Reviewer

A mere year after the release of the critically panned Vampires Suck, director Craig Moss (Bad Ass, The 41-Year-Old Virgin Who Knocked up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It) weighs in with his direct-to-DVD spoof of the Twilight saga, Breaking Wind.  This film struck me as being a celluloid version of that knock-knock joke.  You know the one that goes knock-knock (who’s there?) I eat mop (I eat mop who?)  HA HA!  Yeah, Breaking Wind is a little like that joke: moronic, scatological, and kinda funny!

TV Review: Breaking In – “The Blind Sided”

by Matt Sernaker, Managing Editor

Breaking In continues it’s sophomore season with this week’s episode “The Blind Sided”, where the team from Contra Security must track down and apprehend the malicious (and talented) hacker known as Rembrandt. When it is revealed that this uber-genius turns out to be a 14 year old prodigy named Jamal, Veronica decides to bring him to Contra as their new intern, to give her a Blind Side moment (yes it is exactly what you think… and acknowledged in the show). Now the team must find a way to overcome by utilizing their special skill sets to help move Jamal away from a negative life path…if it’s the last thing they do.
