This Weekend: Christmas Time Is Here
OK, it’s not here yet. Sorry, didn’t mean to make your heart stop. But everyone’s got their own special ways to deal with the holidays, whether it’s hitting a funky not-so-secret party or volunteering at the Midnight Mission. If you don’t have any ideas of what to do, here are some. Friday, December 21 Root…
Film Review: I Am Legend
Warning: Minor spoilers to follow (in italics)…. The credits were rolling when I turned to my friend dotsara and she said, “I don’t ever want to see that movie again.” This surprised me because 1) I thought I Am Legend was actually pretty good and 2) because when she got to the end of her…

Film Complaint: Beowulf in 3D
WARNING: Ultra violence, gore and “nudity” in the above trailer. I’ll keep this short. This movie sucks. Sure, seeing it in 3D was pretty cool but that novelty wore off pretty fast during that first scene in the mead hall where Danes were getting their limbs torn off and flung about by Grendel. Blech! Mind…
