Film Review: Prometheus

Prometheus is a gorgeous, thrilling, and creative sci-fi/fantasy that is only a mis-step or two away from excellence.

Film Review: Prometheus

After seeing Prometheus it is easy to find meaning in why they chose this name for the film (and ship). For those of you who don’t know about this titan in Greek mythology, Prometheus stole fire from the gods to give to humans, something that he was torturously punished for. And here, we have a […]

Film Review: Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted

Madagascar 3 seemed like it was going to be just another pandering effort from DreamWorks, but the results are a really crazy and bizarre adventure that is pretty fun for the most part.

TV Without Commercials Review: Game of Thrones 2.10 (Finale)

Going into the season finale for Game of Thrones, I was legitimately worried that it would not be able to exceed, or even meet the expectations that were set after last week. However, my concerns were quickly erased once the show was underway. This episode was incredible. In every way possible this blows last years […]

Book Club In Session: Monster by A. Lee Martinez

With this month’s book club (ok, we don’t really have that kind of time sensitive structure), Heather, Lauren, and Zach sit down with A.

Book Review: Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith

Imagine you are an aspiring writer, stuck working at a five-and-dime store in a small town for an eternity more than you had planned. The novel you furiously began scribbling late into the night after working long shifts at the store is collecting dust, still unfinished almost ten years later. Resigned to failure, you complacently […]

TV Without Commercials Review: Game of Thrones 2.9

This week we saw something that has never before been done in the entirety of Game of Thrones, and I honestly doubt we will see it again for a long time. Episode nine took place inside only one setting, Kings Landing. I can’t speak for anyone else but I was perfectly content with the episode focusing entirely […]

Review of Big K.R.I.T.’s ‘Live From The Underground’

Before you pop in Big K.R.I.T.’s new album, Live From The Underground, ask yourself something. Have you listened to any of his past mixtapes? If you answered no, then stop whatever you’re doing and go download them. The two most prolific tapes the southern rapper put out, 4eva N A Day and Return Of 4eva, […]
