Movie Review: This Is The End

Some of us possess a certain mindset that will sometimes try to form a plan for what to do in the worst of all possible circumstances: The end of the world. Gather supplies, find like-minded colleagues, locate a defensible position, build a new life. Oftentimes those like-minded survivors are people that we knew and liked when the world was whole: family, co- workers, best friends… But what happens to those relationships when the comforts of the world disappear? What happens when none of your acquaintances have much in the way of survival skills? What happens when the only people you have at your disposal are five other comedy actors who were barely tolerable people to begin with?

This Is The End.

TV Review: Game of Thrones 3×9 “The Rains of Castamere”

Chelsea and Jachelle see the notorious episode of Game of Thrones featuring the Red Wedding. It is a topic that book fans have been waiting for since 2000, and TV fans were not prepared at all. Look on the internet for the various funny reaction posts to this episode. It’s worth it. But for now join the heartbroken writing duo as they accept nothing will be happy again.

Blu-ray Review: Adventure Time: The Complete First and Second Seasons

Sprung forth from the mind of series creator, Pendleton Ward, Adventure Time follows the amazing adventures of a couple of the coolest heroes this side of Lumpy Space. Join up with righteous Finn the human and his BFF Jake, as they traverse the Land of Ooo saving princesses, kicking monster butt, and doing battle with the nefarious Ice King.

TV Review: Grimm Season Two

Chelsea delves into the NBC show Grimm after it finished its second season. Nick Burkhardt is both a cop and a supernatural hunter known as a “Grimm.” Unlike his ancestors, he’s decided to make friends with some of the Wesen he’s supposed to be hunting. In the second season of the show, Nick has to juggle his concern over his ill girlfriend, his rising rivalry with his boss, and saving the city from rampaging Wesen. It’s all in a day’s work for a world weary Grimm.

TV Review: Game of Thrones “Second Sons”

Chelsea and Jachelle talk in detail about their favorite and least favorite parts of Game of Thrones episode “Second Sons.” It’s time for a royal wedding, only this one is between Sansa and Tyrion. Neither of them want to be there, but somehow it becomes a hilariously uncomfortable scene. There’s blood leeches (ew), inappropriate bath scenes, and Sam the Slayer. Countdown to the end: two more episodes.

DVD Review: Hakuoki – A Memory Of Snow Flowers

by Jayden Leggett, Editor For those who haven’t heard of Hakuoki – A Memory Of Snow Flowers before (and don’t be shy, I hadn’t heard of it either), the best way to describe would be that it is a drama…
