Rounders hit theaters in 1998 and is now available in Blu-ray. Strangely, the movie does not open with a 1-800-BETS-OFF card.

My Leverage 4×09 Review
The opening to this episode was a bit different than other episode which is a good thing. Instead of seeing how the client gets in trouble first thing, you see the team coming back from their recent job. While coming through the lobby of the airport, Nate Ford scans the crowd and sees a con in progress. In the process, he sees a woman looking a bit out of a place who because the new client. She is a nurse, transporting a heart to a child in the Cincinnati hospital. The team finds out that someone took Linda’s daughter in order to force her to give them the heart.

Video Game Review: Magic the Gathering Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012
by Caleb Paullus, Video Game Editor
During Comic Con, I bumped into the reps from Wizards of the Coast. I was lucky enough to score a promo code to play Magic the Gathering Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012. Now if you’ve played the more recent version (which is free to Playstation Network Plus members) you’ll remember how fun it was. It did have some things that needed to be fixed though…specifically the length of the game, it was too short.
Now here am, after playing nothing but this game for three straight weeks. I still can’t put down the controller! Maybe I’m just ultra nerdy because I’m hooked, but I think it’s pretty freaking fun (or how I like to say PFF!) So you ask me “You’re playing Magic the Gathering?” I respond with “PFF, Yeah!” Anywho lets dig in.
Damaged #1 debuts today!
Radical Publishing and Sam Worthington’s Full Clip Productions’ new comic, Damaged, launches today, August 17.
The book is written by David Lapham (of Stray Bullets fame), drawn by Leonardo Manco, created by John and Michael Schwarz, and executive produced by Sam Worthington.
Damaged follows the story of Henry and Frank Lincoln, brothers pursuing justice on opposite sides of the law– one is a policeman, while the other has become a vigilante. Readers join them at the ends of their careers, as they approach retirement, try to train their young replacements, and finally face the long-running undercurrent of corruption in San Francisco.
You can learn more about it and see interior artwork at Radical’s website: http://www.radicalpublishing.com/titles/damaged.

Review: Castaneda Art Show- San Diego
Mictlantecutli, the Aztec God of the Dead, oil on canvas by Cesar Castaneda
by Brenda Waldrop, Media Editor
If you missed the Castaneda Art Show last Saturday night, you really missed out. The Voz Alta Gallery, an adorable little gallery on National Ave near downtown San Diego, hosted the show, complete with a band, a small bar, and great atmosphere. While the gallery was perhaps a little small to hold everyone and the band, Franky Two-Times and His Goons, everyone seemed perfectly content to spill out onto the back porch and the front sidewalk where they could hear the band through the open doors as well as they could inside.

DVD Review: After Dark Originals Scream of the Banshee
by Karl Madsen, Media Editor, Horror
One of the sure fire ways to find a monster or demon, or to release a curse is to work for a museum, or a major educational institution. More importantly, you have to be a researcher at a school or museum – anyplace that has lots of creepy old stuff, that’s not your mother-in-law. Scream of the Banshee takes place in just that type of setting.
TV Review: ThunderCats – “Ramlak Rising” and “Song of the Petalars”
by Sammi Bold, Reporter
ThunderCats, Ho!
The Cats are back in action. Check out our reviews of their latest adventures:
“Ramlak Rising” picks up immediately where “Ancient Spirits of Evil” left off, with Lion-O (Will Friedle), Tygra (Matthew Mercer), and Cheetara (Emmanuelle Chriqui) mourning the death of their father and King. Lion-O’s rage at Mumm-Ra causes him to abandon the mission of finding the Book of Omens, and instead wanting to avenge his father. The group starts on their journey, but not before joining with the adorable kittens, WilyKit and WilyKat. Lion-O’s angst drives the story forward by angering his friends and brother to keep going forward despite the harsh conditions.
