Rachael and I had an opportunity to visit one of the biggest names in amusement parks while in LA for E3 2010. We spent a day out at the park and tried to explore all of their feature attractions, so I’m going to break it down into sections. Enjoy this buffet-style review! Revenge of the Mummy: The Ride The line for this kind of sucked at first, being mostly exposed to the sun. Fortunately, you’re only outside for the first few minutes of waiting until you reach the mouth of the “temple.” This leads...

The memory I have of my first exposure to Santa Cruz melodic hardcore stalwarts Good Riddance places me as a fresh-faced 14 year old, barely into my freshman year of high school, and not long after discovering the joys of the punk rock compilation. See, I was the kid who would sit near the back of the class, pretending to pay attention but sneaking earphones in and listening to whatever Punk-O-Rama or Fat Music compilation had been released that year. I find it fitting, then, that the first GR song I remember hearing, “Stand,”...

The Kids Are All Right centers around the situation created when two kids of lesbian parents want to find their sperm donor dad.  The kids, Joni (Mia Wasikowska) and Laser (Josh Hutcherson), are able to contact their “dad” once Joni turns eighteen.  They do this without their parents’ knowledge.  They meet Paul (Mark Ruffalo), a confirmed bachelor, at his organic/local restaurant.  The meeting goes well, and the kids strike up a friendly relationship with Paul.  Unfortunately, moms Nic (Annette Bening)...

I just had to share this great poster for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Parts 1 and 2.  It’s appropriately foreboding and looks great. by Sarah Ksiazek

Let Me In is the American remake of the Swedish film Let the Right One In.  The original film has a lot of fans, but I have yet to see it.  The basic storyline is that a boy is being bullied until he befriends a girl who turns out to be a vampire.  She becomes his protector.  Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road) plays Owen (Sweden’s Oskar) and Chloe Moretz (Kick-Ass) plays vampire Abby (Sweden’s Eli).   Richard Jenkins (The Visitor) also stars.  The international teaser debuted today and the trailer is pretty good.  I...

Last week I left you with that strange drama taste in your mouth, so this time around I wanted to show you that an action flick can have a little depth. Equilibrium is a movie that was completely overlooked in 2002 mostly because it had to follow 1999’s The Matrix with about half the budget. With big white box letters on the front stating, “FORGET THE MATRIX” how could I not take it for a test spin? Because of this bold statement and a cleverly designed box art I was instantly drawn to the film while perusing...

We just had to do a video review this time around so you could really hear us argue our points for and against The Last Airbender. I loved it, where as Ryan did not like it so much. I will preface by saying that we are both M. Night Shyamalan fans, and neither of us have previously watched the Avatar: The Last Airbender series on Nickelodeon.  Watch the video and let us know if you liked it our hated it. We cover the acting, CGI/graphics, 3D, story/plot, robots and more! by Angela Davis & Ryan Davis

Disclaimer:  I am a Twihard, but as I pointed out in my review of New Moon in reference to Twilight, I do not like everything just because it is Twilight.  As moviegoers, we should all demand the best experience.  The Twilight fans can get abused at times for their passion, but passion should not be mistaken for the expectation to love everything about all the movies.  Here is my review of Eclipse– The Twilight Saga: Eclipse continues the story of Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) and her vampire boyfriend, Edward Cullen...

Check out the first five minutes of the one of this summer’s finest thrillers, The Disappearance Of Alice Creed starring Gemma Arterton (Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time). The entire five minutes has one word spoke, “Okay.” The scene is two men setting up a room and the back of a van for what is obviously a kidnapping/possible killing that is about to go down. It got particularly creepy when they bolted the bed to the floor and put plastic sheets on the mattress. Give it a watch and let us know what you think...

Ryan and John review the phenomenon that is Twilight. Can a new director make a horrible franchise good? Why is John wearing a Twilight shirt? Why did they even bother to watch this film? Find out below.

For a beef city, Kansas City has tragically few decent Philadelphia steak sandwich places.  Thankfully, I really only need one. I have been eating at this restaurant for nearly 20 years and it is an important part of my family life.  Four sets of my cousins make a yearly pilgrimage to Kansas City to eat at the Caboose (and to draft for fantasy football).  My father considered giving up his medical practice to buy this restaurant.  With what we know now about ‘cholesterol’, it may have been good to have an M.D. operating...
