‘Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss you’ll land among the stars.’ Which is important when you are about to move out and head out on your own in a college setting. A lot of students that are going into college push themselves harder by trying out for sports or getting scholarships for their activities, which is what I am doing. Continue Reading

Trapped inside her family’s lakeside retreat, a young woman finds she is unable to contact the outside world as events become increasingly ominous in and around the house. Elizabeth Olsen (younger sister to the infamous Olsen twins) is set to try her hand at the horror genre in Silent House, as she plays a main character by the name of Sarah. Sarah’s father, John (Adam Trese), and Uncle, Peter (Eric Sheffer Stevens) play a big role in this film.
Of course, Silent House isn’t just a basic slasher-horror film where brainless co-eds run up a flight of stars instead of out the front door. This movie offers 88 minutes of “based on true events” story presented as a single, uninterrupted take. In the movie you follow leading lady Sarah through a tough ordeal. The family is in the process of fixing up an old dilapidated vacation home. Sarah begins to hear mysterious noises in the upstairs portion of the house, and when she and her dad attempt to investigate the sounds, it quickly becomes clear that they are not alone – nor are they safe.
Even though the movie is only rated a 5.5 out of 10, the “uninterrupted” footage will definitely provide moviegoers with a unique theater experience. If you’re looking for a unique horror-thriller experience, who find the “real time” premise intriguing, you are likely to enjoy Silent House in spite of its flaws.

The Vow came out this weekend and it was said to be a big hit. Considering the main star Channing Tatum, who plays Leo in the movie, what woman wouldn’t want to drag their man to see the chick flick?
The men in this situation are taken advantage of; they have to sit there watching this movie that they think is boring while their girl drools over some guy on the big screen. For those who are there to actually watch the movie, and not drool over Channing, the movie has a very good story.
The movie starts out intensely, with a car accident that puts Paige, played by Rachel McAdams, in a serious coma. The storyline then flashes back to previous memories of the two, of them being in love and showing their affection for each other. When Paige awakens from her coma, she doesn’t remember any of this. The last thing she remembers is being engaged to her previous sweetheart, Jeremy, who is played by Scott Speedman. Leo tries his best to get her to remember, but his attempts seem to be getting him nowhere. He tries to relive their first dates and make her see what she saw to begin with.
Leo was married to a Paige who was in love with art and refused to eat meat; she was always out late working on her projects, and she loved being tickled. Now, the Paige he lives with is worried about finishing law school for her father, and she doesn’t remember becoming a vegetarian. She freaks out when Leo tries tickling her to bring her back. Paige’s family is messed up and she hadn’t talked to them for five years, and now that she’s back from this coma, she doesn’t remember why she disowned them. Her sister is getting married now, and Paige decides it would be best for her to move back in with her parents to help with their wedding.
Paige finds out what made her so mad to begin with and realizes why she did everything that she forgot. She decides to drop out of law school, for the second time, and pursue her art career again. Yet, there’s still one thing wrong with what she’s doing now: there’s no Leo. While she is unpacking her art supplies that Leo had given back to her, she finds something that sparks her interest again. Overall the movie was great; it had an amazing story line and it was a great tear jerker. The ending was a little upsetting, but it does leave plenty of room for a sequel.

If you thought the setup of the Paranormal Activity Trilogy was jumbled and confusing, you wouldn’t like The Devil Inside. It refers to a lot of things that you are never informed of, therefore showing signs of many possible sequels to come.
The movie begins with a rather unusual 911 phone call placed by Maria Rossi, played by Suzan Crowley, then kicks off into a whole ordeal of demonic possession. Maria had murdered three people during an exorcism performed on her. Many years afterwards, Maria Rossi’s daughter, Isabella Rossi, played by Fernanda Andrade, agrees to a documentary. This documentary involves Isabella finally visiting her mother in the asylum she was sent to after her crimes, as well as delving deeper into the knowledge of demonic possession and exorcisms. With the aid of priests Ben (Simon Quarterman), David (Evan Helmuth), and her cameraman, Michael (Ionut Grama), Isabella attempts to discover the history behind her mother’s murders, as well as why and how she committed them.
The movie was scary, we’ll give it that. The effects were, without a doubt, frightfully realistic. However, the ending of the film angered almost everyone in the theatre, provoking cussing and throwing of popcorn. Known as the film with no ending, The Devil Inside is still a thrill ride worth watching, but not for eight bucks a ticket.

Adam Sandler comes back with a hysterical hit, Jack and Jill. He plays himself (Jack), along with the role of his annoying twin sister (Jill). Jack is a commercial producer, who is married with two children.
Every year Jack’s wife makes him invite his twin sister to Thanksgiving. As you can imagine, things do not bode well. Jill keeps extending her stay at Jack’s house, which Jack is obviously not too thrilled about. Jill says she’s going to stay through Hanukkah and then until their birthday. When Jack messes things up and hurts his sister’s feelings, he feels obligated to invite Jill on his family’s New Year’s cruise. Jack notices that all Jill needs to be happy and to go back home to the Bronx is to find her a man. Jack wants celebrity Al Pacino to be in one of his commercials, but when Pacino falls in love with Jill, Jack comes up with a master plan.
Jack and Jill is a very funny movie. It doesn’t really have a storyline, and it is kind of pointless. However, there are many hilarious moments, but it wouldn’t be a good movie for a first date since many parts in this movie would make a first date awkward. Senior Jessie Hauff states, “It had some funny parts, but personally I don’t think it was worth seeing.” Many others thought the movie was terrible and was hastily assembled. This movie would appeal more to young children because Sandler is playing more of a fart-joke man-child.
