The Avengers Review
And it's finally out ladies and gentleman. The movie we've all been waiting for. I would explain things for those of who don't know but the problem is that this explanation would be so many forms of unnecessary. If you don't know what this film is about, I would like to know how you've managed...
This red-light district isn’t picture perfect | Heija Nunn
Parents have a lot of rules to follow when they haul kids around town; no swearing, no singing, and for goodness sake DO NOT attempt to participate in juicy backseat discussions … those are private! Plus we have to model good behavior for future drivers by following the rules of the road and maintaining a...

Editor’s note: Superheroes among us
Dear reader,
Every kid probably grows up wanting to be superhero. Whether it’s trying to be Superman or Supergirl, we all want to be better at something than anyone else.

The Cabin in the Woods Review (Spoiler-Free)
Let me say this right now. I have no opinion when it comes to Joss Whedon. I never really tried to watch any of his stuff. I've never bothered watching Firefly, despite people desperately shouting at me to do to the otherwise. I never saw Buffy and I really didn't care enough to watch Dollhouse....
The Cabin in the Woods Review (Spoilers)
Okay so let's discuss this now shall we? The plot is one of the best satires I've seen come out of mainstream cinema in a while, probably since Hot Fuzz. It manages to take the conventions of the genre, turn them on their head and yet still manage to keep things interesting and, most important...
The Hunger Games (film) Review
