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.

Blu-ray & DVD Review: Rome: The Complete Series
There are some work collaborations that just sound like genius from the get go, and HBO pairing with BBC to create a dramatic historical rendition of Ancient Rome was one of them. The show Rome caused history buffs to drool, literature snobs to squeal, and everyone else to think 'lots of sex, nudity, violence, and an epic bromance. We're so in.' Unfortunately after two seasons it was cancelled due to the costs of keeping such a vibrant and accurate series alive. Now Rome: The Complete Series is out for Blu-ray and DVD, and this is your best chance of seeing this spectacular series from beginning to end for a reasonable price.
Book Review: Battle Royale
In 1999, Koushun Takami gave this world the novel Battle Royale. The story was dark, controversial, and could be interpreted in many different ways. Taking place in an alternate history of Japan, or as it is known here the Republic of Greater East Asia, the book told the story of a class of students who have been chosen to participate in the Program. Mainly focusing on male student #15 and self proclaimed rock star, Shuya Nanahara, as he attempts to find away to escape The Program.
