HST…Film Review: Gangster Squad

Zac: Gangster Squad is exactly what it is aiming to be: loud and violent fun, while putting to good use an excellent cast all up for the ride.

For You Renting Pleasure

“For Your Renting Pleasure” is back, compiling the movies that I’ve waited till now to see. Looking for something to rent this upcoming weekend? Here are a few selections to either consider or avoid: 10 Years, Lawless, or Ruby Sparks.

Looking Ahead to 2013: 1st Quarter (January – March)

Now that we’re done looking behind us here at HST, it’s time to ring in the new year by filling our calendars with the upcoming releases (movies, music, TV, and video games) we’re looking forward to most. Big names, big sequels, big comebacks, big excitement.

Last week the flu did me in, but now I am back for this week’s episode of Arrow in which it’s ok to be seeing double because there is a second archer in town.

Film Review: Smashed
