Movie Review: Twilight Saga: New Moon
After standing in a line that would rival a theme park ride, I was one of the first kids on my block to witness the new Twilight movie: New Moon. I found myself surrounded by thousands of screaming teenagers eager to watch the translation of Stephanie Meyer’s second book in the series. What I found in the movie was a large improvement over the first movie but not offering anything compared to the quality we’ve seen in other fantasy genre flicks like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, or Underworld.
Warning: Spoilers are ahead…
Supernatural: The Road So Far…
The Road So Far…
People who LARP are silly. I know it, you know it, the writers of Supernatural know it, and hopefully the LARPers know it as well. For the uninitiated LARP stands for Live Action Role Play, which basically amounts to a bunch of guys in poorly tailored robes throwing tennis balls at each other while screaming, "Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt!" That's not to say there is anything wrong with LARPing, so long as those participating as well as those observing understand it for what it is; innocent fun.
