Movie Review: Captain America: The First Avenger

As a girl who didn’t grow up interested in comics at all, I’ve become surprisingly excited about them lately.  My latest conquest is reading through The Ultimate Avengers comics  to get a feel for what is coming for us in 2012 in something that I imagine will break box office records everywhere. Captain America: The First Avenger is another introduction to one of the characters in that movie, and in my opinion, only the Iron Man films have surpassed this movie on the silver screen (at least in the Marvel universe).

TV Review: Torchwood: Miracle Day – “A New World” (Season Premiere)


by Matt Sernaker, Senior Editor

 

Miracles really do come true as Torchwood returns to television tonight with the premiere of Torchwood: Miracle Day. This newest incarnation of the Torchwood series is brought to us thanks to a new partnership between BBC and Starz.

 

Taking place after the incredible Children of Earth story, Torchwood’s existence has been wiped away without a trace. Gwen Cooper and her family have gone into hiding with the hopes of living a normal life. Captain Jack Harkness was last seen leaving the planet and heading out into space looking for a new direction and purpose after the incident with the 456.

Movie Review: Horrible Bosses

by Gary Sernaker, Reporter

Horrible Bosses is not a horrible comedy, it’s just a horrible example of how comedies are hobbled together today.  There are some yuks, but not enough to sustain the laugh-out-loud quotient that should have been an easy mark to obtain, considering this movie’s all-star cast.
