DVD Review: [REC] 2
by Karl Madsen, Media Editor, Horror
What are some of movie watchers biggest gripes? How about foreign movies with completely unknown actors? Most viewers are really irritated by subtitles, especially in an action movie. And of course there’s the questionable sequel to a flick that seems to have a plausible outcome at the conclusion of the first movie. Well [REC] 2 fits these descriptions, and breaks the mold as well.
Movie Review: Cowboys & Aliens
by Kroze Kresky, Media Editor
As a little kid playing with your action figures, I am sure you had such epic mystical bouts between two unlikely factions… Ninjas vs. the WWF (What is with this WWE bullshit nowadays?), Power Rangers vs. Gobots, Dinosaurs vs. your sister’s barbie dolls which you did totally not borrow to film a complete version of the plot to Dragon Warrior IV with and then had the VHS tape completely fuck up so it was all for naught… but one of the most famous combination that many kids growing up (including yours truly) was putting all your alien monsters against your cowboy figures riding around on horses.

Movie Review: The Smurfs in 3D
By Brenda Waldrop, Media Editor
If you think the new movie The Smurfs is just for kids, you might want to think again. I admit, at times it’s annoyingly cheerful, but it acknowledges and even makes fun of its own cuteness at times. There’s also the gratuitous substitution of the word “Smurf” for any other word, and let’s not forget the annoying, sticks in your head, Smurf song.
