  1. article Prime Time Review: Electronic Entertainment Expo reveals the next generation of home entertainment

    Wednesday, June 19, 2013 4:00 am

    The Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) is over, and the world must find something else to watch on TV. The banners are being pulled down, TV displays are being pulled off of mounts, and stands are being broken down. Within a few days the hundreds of video game developers and thousands upon thousands of gamers will be making their way home.  During three days, the slate of upcoming video games grows exponentially as developers like Ubisoft and EA showcase what they hope will be the best previews and gameplay trailers at the conference. This year’s E3 took place in Los Angeles June 11 through June 13.

  10. article Review: Man of Steel – Up, Up, and awry

    Friday, June 14, 2013 11:30 am

    I love the character of Superman, and although he may not be my favorite comic-book hero I still admire what he symbolizes and his rich pop culture history. So needless to say, I had very lofty expectations for Man of Steel, the latest movie redux of the Superman mythos. Unfortunately, my dreams of an exciting reboot of the film franchise, one that might potentially lead to aJustice League movie, have been laid lower than an ant in the miniature city of Kandor.

  12. article Review: This is the End – of puberty?

    Friday, June 14, 2013 9:13 am

    The latest cinematic satirical look at the apocalypse, This is the End, comes from the narcissistic angle of Hollywood stars playing themselves, or at least caricatures of themselves, as they deal with the end of the world by getting high and exuding childish humor as if it were just another day on the playground. Some of this is funny, but it’s mostly just pretentious and inane.

    Wednesday, June 12, 2013 4:00 am

    When employees have good health and personal fulfillment, those whom they serve are happier too. That’s a key part of the culture at Splendido, a member of the Mather LifeWays family, an award-winning not-for-profit organization founded in 1941. Developing a fulfilled workforce pays off for this leader in the senior care industry, with retention of long-term employees, high employee satisfaction, and national recognition for its services to older adults. 

  18. article Review: ‘The Kings of Summer’

    Wednesday, June 12, 2013 4:00 am

    Whether you had parents that were distant or parents that were overbearing, we all likely dreamed about running away from home while growing up. These unrealistic fantasies likely involved hitting the road with one or two good friends and building a safe haven somewhere in the wildness. Naturally, we all quickly woke up from this daydream, realizing that we’d never make it on our own. “The Kings of Summer” exists in an offbeat world fueled by our youthful daydreams. The end product is funny and quirky, but also wise and nostalgic with something meaningful to say about coming of age.

  19. article Primetime Review: Christopher Nolan’s artistic vision creates butterfly effect

    Wednesday, June 12, 2013 4:00 am

    At what point can we safely say that a filmmaker has cemented himself as a true mover and shaker in the industry? Probably around the time when multi -billion dollar production companies begin trading ownership of entire franchises like two boys swapping baseball cards, in order to obtain rights to co-produce his work. This is where Christopher Nolan’s career has taken him. Once it became clear that Nolan’s newest cerebral project, Interstellar, would be produced by Paramount rather than Warner Bros., the latter felt it best to place a few of its cards on the table in order to obtain a piece of Nolan the cash cow. Paramount named its price of allowing Warner Bros. to co-produce the upcoming film, and it was exclusive rights to produce a sequel to 2009’s Friday the 13th, as well as a new Southpark film.

    Friday, June 7, 2013 10:10 am

    Some movies are so bad that they are unintentionally funny, but those films at least have that accidental humor going for them. Not so with The Purge, a humorless film that from its initial conception to its final on-screen completion is as awful and downright dumb as any movie I can remember having ever seen.
