Zachary Brenner Life Editor While preparing myself to go see the third installment of the Iron Man franchise by watching clips and trailers of previous movies, I was expecting to see a movie with cool visual effects, but no story.

Oscars: A Sunday night to maybe remember

admin - Wednesday, February 27, 2013

Sam Rosenberg Contributing Writer Damn, those Oscars were not bad. Well, they weren’t great, but the show was much better in comparison to the dreadful 2011 Academy Awards hosted by Anne Hathaway and James Franco. This year’s 85th Annual Oscars was hosted by the occasionally witty and occasionally awkward Seth MacFarlane, whose monologue proceeded into one lengthy [...]

Movie review: The Hunger Games

stu23562 - Monday, April 30, 2012

The main reason that The Hunger Games was so good was because of its near-perfect adaptation. It’s absolutely amazing, and this is the first time I’ve really seen a movie do the book justice.

Movie review: The Grey

stu23562 - Tuesday, February 14, 2012
