DVD Review: Stargate Universe: The Complete Final Season (Season Two)
by Kroze Kresky, Media Editor
Every mission has a destiny… and apparently this mission’s destiny was to end long before its time was up. Stargate Universe: The Complete Final Season (aka Season Two) was both a blessing and a curse for sci-fi fans, as the season really ramped up the epic journey of Col. Young, Lt. Scott, Eli, Chloe and Dr. Rush, seeing them delve into deeper and darker territory than any Stargate series ever had. This darker setting made it one of the most captivating and interesting series that the franchise ever produced, breathing new life into previously generic sci-fi situations.

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.”

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.
