Blu-ray/DVD Review: War Horse
by Karissa Barrows, Editor
Albert Narracott (Irvine) and Joey
When you think “horse movie”, what do you think of? Black Beauty? Seabiscuit? Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron? Typically, I usually think some movie that’s going to make me cry because of shameless horse-killing, the overplayed horse-separated-from-loved-owner-and-later-reunited storyline proven to elicit tears, or some cowboy movie. War Horse, Steven Spielberg’s newest film, uses those first two, mixed with a little Seabiscuit-style “miracle horse” aspect, and a little bit of storytelling I thought slightly reminiscent of Tarantino – and makes for a huge success.
Movie Review: Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan’s Hope
“When a woman tells you to grow up, that’s God’s way of telling you to get a new woman… There’s three billion women on the planet, and not a lot of great comics, so it’s an easy choice.” -Chuck Rosanski, Mile High Comics
by Kevin Gaussoin, Editor-in-Chief
San Diego Comic-Con is the cultural Mecca of geeks everywhere, the one place where we can all gather together and gaze across the vast landscape of all our varied fandom obsessions from superheroes to sci-fi to fantasy to horror to anime to video games and every related subject–Where we can not only hang out with each other but we can meet the creators and stars of all our favorite stuff–where ‘Trek and ‘Wars nerds can take up their sabers and phasers, not to battle each other but to pose with the next generation of geeks or to drink with the real Green Lantern or Duke Nukem and listen together to bands play songs about Aquaman or Laurence Fishburne and then look over and say to each other in the words of Joss Whedon: “Are we not dope?”

TV Review: The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes – “The Private War of Doctor Doom”
AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!
by Kroze Kresky, Media Editor, and Matt Sernaker, Managing Editor
This Sunday, The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes returns for Season 2, which features an apperance by the Fantastic Four. Marvel was kind enough to screen the episode early at WonderCon 2012!
TV Review: Community “Digital Exploration of Interior Design”
by Kroze Kresky, Media Editor
After first being screened at WonderCon 2012 to thunderous applause, this episode of Community seems to be the beginning of something epic brewing at Greendale. First off, let me get this out of the way and mention Subway’s sudden involvement in the show as of late. For fans of another NBC cult hit Chuck, they know that when the show was having trouble, they were able to get some additional backing from Subway and it seems that Community is trying to do the same thing here, only to a much more hilarious extent.
TV Review: Breaking In – “Game of Jones”
by Matt Sernaker, Managing Editor
Breaking In continues its hotstreak of episodes with “Game of Jones”!
You know who is great? Jones. He always takes care of everyone in the office. I especially love it when he buys everyone lunch. He sure is nice. Wait… Jones isn’t real? Don’t tell the boss… Oz gets in a bit of trouble when Molly gets suspicious about the missing, but grateous, Mr. Jones, who is supposedly Contra Security’s International Sales Specialist. Oz enlists Cash’s aid to throw her off the trail, but Cash takes things a bit too far. Meanwhile, Cam attempts to subdue his crazy new boss, before she goes off on the entire office.

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!
