Valentines’ Day Revisited

Filed under A&E

Have you ever wondered how many A-list celebrities you can fit into one movie? This February’s box office sensation Valentines’ Day proves that many of us, myself included, were vastly underestimating Hollywood. The sheer number of big names and characters in general in this movie made it simpler... Read more »

HAVE you ever thought about what it would feel like to die? The Lovely Bones depicts Susie Salmon, a young, fourteen-year-old girl, who is murdered by a so-called friendly neighbor.

Movie Review: The Blind Side

Filed under A&E

THE END is good,  the beginning is good,  even the middle is good.  The Blind Side is a complete movie.  The movie begins with the famous clip of Lawrence Taylor’s career-ending tackle of Joe Theismann and provide a good background for the film.

GI Joe is definitely filled with action, but, unfortunately, most of it is completely unrealistic and animated in nature.  The dialogue is predictable and the plot utterly convoluted. Director Stephen Sommers (Mummy 1&2, Van Helsing) knows how to use special effects, but in GI Joe he over-uses them.... Read more »

Movie Review: This Is It

Filed under A&E

This Is It, the behind-the-scenes story of Michael Jackson’s life off-stage shows insight into the normal guy hidden away inside the pop legend. In some ways, maybe directing his own choreographers and pianist and having cameramen take videos of people just chewing bubble gum and eating lollipops could... Read more »

Movie Review: 9 Gets a 3

October 8, 2009 • By Eric Stevenson, Junior  
Filed under A&E

EVEN though the entire movie seems as if it were in fast-forward mode, Shane Acker’s 9 still persuades audience members to sympathize with the pint-sized rag dolls. After a while, the viewers almost forget that the dolls are not human and the non-stop action delivers the plot an anything-but-boring... Read more »

“TIMES like these, dark times, they do funny things to people. They can tear them apart.” In the recent box office sensation Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, as this quote from character Arthur Weasley clearly demonstrates, the outlook becomes bleak. During the equivalent of their junior year,... Read more »
