Oh! The Horror!
Horror stories have always been a fascination to everyone. When your little you love the bedtime stories about ghosts and creepy monsters. As we grow older, this attachment doesn't fade. My Uncle David is no exception. He is the perfect example of this. When he was a kid, he used to pull all kinds of pranks on his siblings such as the old whoopee cushion on the seat trick, to rubber spiders and bugs in their beds. Halloween was his favorite holiday. Little David would jump out from behind places in grotesque masks, scaring his parents and siblings alike. Now as an adult, he has retired from scaring people that way. Now he would rather just watch scary movies and force others to watch with him.
The Social Network
By: Vicky Valet
On average, how many times do you check Facebook daily? Once, twice, or maybe 10 times? How much time do you spend picking out a new profile picture, updating your status, or “stalking” other people’s profiles? Whether you’re willing to admit it or not, this social networking website plays a huge role in our daily lives, but really, how much do we know about how this worldwide phenomenon actually started – thanks to David Fincher’s latest film, The Social Network, we know a lot more.
This box office hit shows its audience that, “you don’t get to 500 million friendswithout making a few enemies,” by alternating between scenes back in 2004, when the quick witted and always snarky Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg, played by Jesse Eisenberg, took the world by storm with his invention of Facebook, andthe present day, when he is sued by a slew of characters for their share of this $64 million company.
Although a large portion of this film’s audience are young adults with Facebook accounts, much of the hype is coming from the parents of Facebook users. According to Pam McGorry, a mother of two young adults with Facebook accounts,“I had to see [The Social Network] just to see what this whole Facebook thing was all about, because I really didn’t know anything about it. Now I think I’m going to have to get one!” Many other parents, such as Loyola fathers, Steve Caron and Glen Sweeney, were “shocked by the drama” and thought that the cast gave a “riveting performance.”
Between the brilliant cast, clever dialogue, widespread appeal, and newly surfaced insight into the invention of what is currently the most used social network in the world, it is no wonder that Entertainment Weekly referred to The Social Network as “the must-see film of the fall.”

Easy A
By Marisa Massaro, Staff
Snagging the second place spot at the Box Office, Easy A appears to have a hilarious fresh take on the typical high school headaches that are festered by rumors and reputations, or in this case, a lack of reputation. The witty Emma Stone is cast in the role of Olive Penderghast, a typical outcast who feels invisible. She then decides to make a drastic change in her life by depending on self-spread gossip to put herself on the social map. The teen comedy takes a new perspective on the classic Nathanial Hawthorne novel, The Scarlet Letter, making this movie a must-see.
Will 3D be the Only Option Soon?
By Connor Riegel
This December, Avatar was the first blockbuster to be released in 3D. But of course that was just James Cameron trying to be the biggest and best right? That might not be true; it seems the recent trend is for a lot of movies to be released in 3D.
