Charlie St Cloud

Charlie St. Cloud can't steer himself away from mediocrity

Although I was quite skeptical about seeing "Charlie St. Cloud," I was surprised by the fact that it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. It definitely was not outstanding, though. Upon hearing about teen heartthrob Zac Efron taking on a meaningful role, it was impossible for me not to laugh.

inception

Review: Inception: A film for thinkers

 With action movies being the only thing that the average person seems to enjoy, Christopher Nolan brings a welcome change to the silver screen with “Inception,” one of the most amazingly thought-provoking films I have seen this year.

 

Taste of Dallas

Taste of Dallas leaves locals satisfied

This year’s Taste of Dallas left many people walking away with a full stomach and a smile on their faces.

ransformers: War for Cybertron

Review: Transformers: War for Cybertron

With great franchises comes great responsibility. Transformers: War for Cybertron by High Moon Studios is one of the very few good Transformer games, but the redundant nature of the game keeps it from achieving perfection

Eclipse needs to fade away quickly

After the abomination known as New Moon hit theaters less than a year ago, its sequel continues to thrive off the hype of the critically acclaimed book series. And it continues to siphon more money from the public while laughing all the way to the bank, leaving me wondering why people pay to see these abysmal films.

Review: Toy Story 3 is everything you hoped it would be

A team

The A-Team remake is bombs and bromance ‎

As the temperature rises, so does the movie industry's demand for potential summer blockbusters. And with the A-team, adrenaline junkies will not be disappointed. However, style greatly overrides substance, making for an aesthetically pleasing film, but a gut feeling that I missed something.

Kalachandji vegetarian restaurant

Pretty temple, cool people, fugly food

An estimated 7.3 million Americans are vegetarians according to vegetariantimes.com. There is no doubt restaurants catering to this lifestyle have become more successful. Unfortunately, Kalachandji’s, the Indian vegan restaurant located in East Dallas leaves a lot to be desired.

Bodies 5

Bodies...the Exhibition showcases

Bodies…The Exhibition is an inside look at our bodies, but with a more avant-garde, pop art presentation, which portrays “life” through real human bodies and organs that have been preserved. The in-depth explanations and logical order of the body parts and systems’ presented make it virtually impossible to not learn anything.

Jasmine Hookah Bar

Jasmine Hookah Bar review

No I.D.? No problem. Should be the tag-line for Jasmine's hookah bar. The place has a variety of different hookah flavors at “reasonable” prices, hit-or-miss music and a tolerable atmosphere, one should tread softly upon entering.

Batman right at your finger tips

Batman has been a staple in America's heart for over seventy years. He is among the most interesting superheroes, though video games based on him have not capitalized on Batman's amazing sense of detective work or his visceral martial arts skills. But, the latest game, Batman: Arkham Asylum, is the best superhero video game in existence, bar none.

Courts Art Gallery  3

Campus gallery's surrounding Courts

Basketball courts. These words, for many of us, conjure up images of driveways and alleyways, and school playgrounds and local parks. Whatever location you may be familiar with probably carries memories along with it. Whether it be games of HORSE with the neighborhood kids or practicing your free throws before the big game, courts are an part of adolescence.

Dante

Dante's Inferno slightly sears

With critically acclaimed God of War 3 slated for March exclusively on the Playsation 3, Dante’s Inferno is a less than stellar stand in for Xbox 360 owners.

REVIEW: Underworld: Rise of the Lycans

I am an extremely huge fan of vampires, but lately there have not been any good movies surrounding the pale-faced creatures of the night. After experiencing Twilight I had lost hope altogether. The seductive, articulated, aberrations of mankind turned into a bunch of sparkly teenaged CK models. So where does a vampire junkie to get his fix? Well look no further than Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, the prequel to the critically berated Underworld and . The fight for horror movie supremacy continues, or at least starts, in this case.
