Movie Review: The Avengers
Assemble the movie stills! There are a lot of them in here.
Sorry I’m not sorry.
by Karissa Barrows, Editor
If you have not been excited for The Avengers since first hinted at in the Iron Man franchise, you have no soul. Or whatever. Maybe not that extreme, but DUDE. The movie was destined to be either a massively awesome, mind-blowing life experience or the worst 2+ hours of life. As soon as it was announced that Joss Whedon was directing the film, I knew the former would be the case. I went to see the movie after having driven for 16 hours the day prior and still getting up super early that morning, and I was so pumped up afterwards that I was able to stay up for two hours more than normal playing Modern Warfare 3. Seriously. It is that good. I’ll explain why… and try my hardest to be as brief as possible. That’s gonna be hard, considering how much I loved this movie.
Movie Review: The Cabin in the Woods
Hey guys, the cellar door just flew open loudly. Let’s check it out!
by Aliki Taylor, Reviewer
Sure, we all love Joss Whedon and we’re already salivating over his upcoming blockbuster The Avengers, but Dollhouse has been off the air for a while, so what’s he been doing? It turns out he spoiled us years ago.
At the 2007 San Diego Comic-Con, Joss Whedon (Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse) announced on stage that he and Drew Goddard (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Cloverfield) were co-writing something, describing, “It is a film called Cabin in the Woods, and it is the horror film to end all horror films. Literally. And more about that, I will not say.” Nearly five years later, we now know what he meant.

Blu-ray/DVD Review: War Horse
by Karissa Barrows, Editor
Albert Narracott (Irvine) and Joey
When you think “horse movie”, what do you think of? Black Beauty? Seabiscuit? Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron? Typically, I usually think some movie that’s going to make me cry because of shameless horse-killing, the overplayed horse-separated-from-loved-owner-and-later-reunited storyline proven to elicit tears, or some cowboy movie. War Horse, Steven Spielberg’s newest film, uses those first two, mixed with a little Seabiscuit-style “miracle horse” aspect, and a little bit of storytelling I thought slightly reminiscent of Tarantino – and makes for a huge success.
