DVD Review: Project Nim
by Mike Favila, Reviewer
After seeing Planet of the Apes in its many (and sometimes unwatchable) incarnations, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Would this real life film on a champanzee raised as a human being be just as entertaining? Project Nim was spearheaded by James Marsh, the acclaimed director of Man On Wire, so I had a feeling this would be a documentary I could actually watch and enjoy in one sitting.
Anime DVD Review: B Gata H Kei: Yamada’s First Time, The Complete Series
Boobies FTW!
by Laurini, Reviewer
Yamada may be the school beauty, but she wants to start off the new semester with a real bang –by collecting one hundred sex friends! Easier said than done, because every boy must be a virgin and Yamada herself has never even been kissed! When she sets her eyes on the clueless geek Kosuda from the photography club, it creates a hilarious twist on anime love comedies in B Gata H Kei: Yamada’s First Time, The Complete Series.

Movie Review: Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol
by Kroze Kresky, Media Editor
Normally fourth installments of film series end up being stale, boring rehashes of what has come before. Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol had a lot of things going against it, but much like the Ethan Hunt and his team pulling off the impossible time and time again, this movie- against all odds- ends up being the best of the series and one of the most entertaining movies of the holiday season.
DVD Review: Transformers Prime – Darkness Rising
by Matt Sernaker, Managing Editor
The war between the Autobots and the Decepticons starts again for a new generation as the hit computer-animated series, Transformers Prime, makes its way home in the special DVD release of the mini-series Darkness Rising. The original 5 part premiere of this new Transformers installment has been re-cut with additional footage to make it feel like a full theatrical experience. This new series was developed by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, (two of the men behind the live action Transformers movie franchise) and while that fact might concern some fans, Transformers Prime is a show that definitely blows away all expectations and is a series to be reckoned with!
Movie Review: Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
by Jennifer Bay, Editor
There is very little I don’t love about Robert Downey, Jr. or Jude Law. Regardless of the negativity both have had in the public eye, I think they’re both incredibly attractive and both generally choose great roles for themselves . Put them together in a series based on one of my favorite novel characters ever and I’m sold.
Blu-ray Review: Fright Night (2011)
“He’s not lovesick, or misunderstood, he’s the @#$%ing shark from ‘Jaws’!” – Evil Ed
by Chris Kane, Reviewer and Karl Madsen, Horror Editor
We have all had neighbors move into the house next door, and most have acted strangely at first. Especially when they do most of their business at night, and a wave of criminal activity begins at the same time. Isn’t that what happens when a vampire moves in next door? How was I supposed to know that he really was a night watchman, and that there is always crime in a big city. But I digress, and the restraining order says I can’t say any more.
The new Fright Night is a retelling of a story that resonated with pre- and post pubescent Gen Xers. Indeed Fright Night is an important part of our myth pool, our tales which capered and cavorted in our minds long after we had extinguished the safety of our bedroom light. In many ways this retelling is a re presentation to the next generation: the cinematic equivalent of handing down the tale of razor-blade-laced Halloween treats, or Bloody Mary (Bloody Mary, Bloody Ma—). Fright Night 2011 also happens to be a metric shit-ton of celluloid fun, filled with nerve torquing suspense, blow-your-hair-back action sequences, and a cast that propels Fright Night shrieking into the present. Bloody good fun!
