Movie Review: The Hunger Games
May the odds be ever in your favor.
by Jennifer Bay and Karissa Barrows, Editors
I was given The Hunger Games boxed set of books for my birthday. At the time, I had vaguely heard of it but knew nothing of the story. After blazing through the series, I have waited impatiently for the release of the first film by the same name. Karissa, conversely, had not yet read more than the first thirty pages of the first book at the time we saw this movie. (She did, however, finish reading all three books in two days after seeing the film.)
DVD Review: Breaking Wind
by Chris Kane, Reviewer
A mere year after the release of the critically panned Vampires Suck, director Craig Moss (Bad Ass, The 41-Year-Old Virgin Who Knocked up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It) weighs in with his direct-to-DVD spoof of the Twilight saga, Breaking Wind. This film struck me as being a celluloid version of that knock-knock joke. You know the one that goes knock-knock (who’s there?) I eat mop (I eat mop who?) HA HA! Yeah, Breaking Wind is a little like that joke: moronic, scatological, and kinda funny!

DVD Review: Todd & The Book of Pure Evil – The Complete First Season
High School is Hell
by Kevin Gaussoin, Editor-in-Chief
Fifteen years ago, Buffy the Vampire Slayer premiered on television and the success of its seven seasons (or twelve if you include Angel) brought supernatural action drama into being, leading inevitably to today’s supernatural shows ranging from The Vampire Diaries, through Supernatural and Being Human, and into the occasionally-clothed and always sexy True Blood. But Buffy had a few things going for it that the others did not. Notably here are its clever and ubiquitous self-referential humor and perhaps most importantly here is that Buffy possessed something that most other supernatural shows never had. It was in the beginning set in one of the most frightening places on earth: High School.

TV Review: The Walking Dead – “Bloodletting” Episode 202 Advance Look
EPISODE 202: “Bloodletting”
Coming to the aid of another, Rick discovers a possible safe haven. Shane must go on a dangerous mission to get badly needed medical supplies.
by Kevin Gaussoin, Editor-in-Chief
Last weekend The Walking Dead shambled back into our living rooms and our hearts (and braaains). The 90-minute premiere led our group of survivors down the road to ruin, where they hit a dead end. As you no doubt know already, one of their number didn’t return after a zombie chase, and everyone worked together to search. Of course this led to the explosive cliff-hanger ending where a beloved character gets quite a dear surprise.
Beware minor spoilers!

Movie Review: 30 Minutes or Less
Facebook? I don’t check that shit, I’m off the grid.
by Kevin Gaussoin, Editor-in-Chief
Amid scathing controversy claiming the film exploits a real world tragedy, 30 Minutes or Less attempts to make a comedy out of a plot that might otherwise be best expected in a torture-porn like that found in the Saw movie franchise. Does it succeed?
