The first of exciting new movies to be released this summer, Iron Man 3 broke $175 million this weekend. With incredible special effects and a more developed plot line than the previous Iron Mans, it definitely deserved to top the box office. The movie chronicles smart-ass Tony Stark’s quest to defeat a terrorist whose genetically [...]

It’s a Western revenge story that’s sometimes gory, sometimes funny, and [...]

Sol Azteca is an authentic Mexican restaurant, which has been on Beacon street for 37 years. Here’s what I ordered last week when I went to check it out: Appetizer: Nopalitos en Salsa Verde (Cactus!) ($6.95) – We ordered this mainly just to see what cactus tastes like…luckily it turned out to be just the [...]

James bond #23, and the third to feature Daniel Craig, is one of the best yet – definitely better than Craig’s other two appearances in Casino Royale and Quantum os Solace. The film focuses on a visibly older bond and his quest to stop a series of terrorist plots against MI6 conceived by ex-00-agent Raoul [...]

I myself ordered the Tandoori Lamb Kebab. Brought out on a [...]

Bane’s appearance, along with Selina Kyle/Catwoman’s raid of Bruce Wayne’s private [...]

First of all, I liked Andrew Garfield way more than Toby Maguire. I think Garfield did a good job of balancing goofy humor with classic Peter-Parker-awkwardness. Other bonuses are that he didn’t always look like he was about to cry and he never walked down the street dancing, a la Spider-man 3. My favorite part [...]

I’m a huge fan of Mexican food, burritos, and really just food. That is why this battle of burritos is so important to me. I’ve done research and numerous taste-tests to prepare you for the next time you’re in the mood for Mexican. Our two contenders are Boloco and Chiptole. Although they are both essentially [...]

When two high school-enemies find themselves together four years later at police academy, they become best friends and soon find themselves paired together for duty at…a local park. But that changes after they are assigned to an undercover mission that will require them to infiltrate a high school and learn [...]

Based on a book by Kaui Hemmings, the movie is about Matt King, a wealthy landowner, who has recently lost his wife and has to deal with 1. struggling to raise his two daughters correctly [...]
