Review: ‘Smile Kid’

Megan Berberich December 17, 2009

We the Kings' sophomore album, "Smile Kid," is filled with infectious tunes and clever lyrics. Every song on this album is dance-worthy, and listeners will find themselves knowing the lyrics just after...

Review: ‘Ocean Eyes’

Kayla Boone December 16, 2009

Catchy, fantastical lyrics and upbeat tunes lead a listener on an imaginative journey, where he receives "hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs" as he listens to Owl City's new CD "Ocean Eyes." However,...

Review: ‘Modern Warfare 2’

Brendan Kinnison December 3, 2009

Review: ‘Hello Hurricane’

Brendan Kinnison December 1, 2009

As my iTunes started playing, I was instantly disappointed with this CD. Instead of Switchfoot's usual upbeat rhythms and lyrics, they now are slow and depressing. I found the CD full of songs about heartbreak,...

Review: ‘Zombieland’

Morgan Vetter December 1, 2009

"Zombieland" is one of the few movies on this Earth that made me chuckle. This film was a delight to watch. The way this movie was setup was very different. It is basically a survival guide on what to...

Review: ‘New Moon’

Review: ‘Travels with Myself and Another’

Review: ‘Jennifer’s Body’

Morgan Vetter September 23, 2009

What could be one of the stupidest movie plots ever? Try a teenage girl who has to eat boys to stay beautiful. This whole movie is basically all about Megan Fox and how "hot" she is. Jennifer and Needy...

Review: ‘Love Happens’

Kayla Mugler September 22, 2009

People are broken. The hurt is everywhere. In "Love Happens," Burke Ryan (Aaron Eckhart) is someone who knows about pain from experience. His self-help book "A-Okay" is meant to help people through the...

Review: ‘Love Drunk’

Megan Berberich September 16, 2009

This is only Boys Like Girls' sophomore album, and they have already found much success with their prior self-titled album. Their first album is solid, and "Love Drunk" has a few gaps that were disappointing. This...

Review: ‘A Rhythm in Cages’

Brett Story September 11, 2009

The Taxpayers are described by Quote Unquote records as "equally poppy as they are noisy, explosive as they are muted, fun as they are serious." This doesn't even begin to describe how bipolar this band...
