‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ is simply breathtaking

From the opening scene with a character being killed, to the end where everything was wrapped up with a neat little bow, ‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ was a fairly spectacular movie. All of the characters were wonderful, from the down-to-earth main character and his humble origins, to all of the slick, courageous Kingsmen themselves. Gary ‘Eggsy’ Unwin, played by Taron Egerton, was the main character in this movie, and he was portrayed fantastically.

By Ryan Mills
January 26, 2015

“Unbroken” takes viewers side by side with the many hardships Louis “Louie” Zamperini faced throughout his life. Produced and directed by Angelina Jolie, “Unbroken” is based on the 2010 non-fiction book Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption., written by Laura Hillenbrand. The movie starts off showing Louie on a bomber plane in World War Two. The plane gets badly damaged in combat, with several crew members getting injured. The visual effects make one feel as if they are holding on for their dear life right there next to Louis.

[T]he stocks of New York City’s famous and infamous Wall Street are a playground for those who have the means to gamble on fluctuating stocks. It is also a haven for for stockbrokers who are looking for a quick buck in the form of scamming and scalping. In 1987 director Oliver Stone brought audiences Wall Street. Starring Charlie Sheen and Michael Douglas, Wall Street gave the world an inside view on how corrupt our stocks are. Almost 15 years later, director Ben Younger brought us Boiler Room. Drawing many influences from Wall Street, the film gives viewers an even deeper looking into the world of stockbroking.

Restaurant Review: Bistro Wasabi

[H]untley’s arsenal of restaurants is limited when it comes to the diversity of their food. With an abundance of pizza places and bars with grilled items, Huntley's edible ammunition is somewhat lacking. But not to fear my hungry Huntley-sapiens. Bistro Wasabi, which lies on the same strip as Dairy Queen on West Algonquin Road, gives your taste buds a sweet and sour escape from your average pizza night-out. Ever since it opened in 2000, Bistro Wasabi has offered customers with cooked and uncooked Japanese delicacies with a little American twist to it. Their menu offers items ranging from New York Steak to a chef’s special Maki Sushi.

[I]t’s not like it’s something we haven’t seen before. Four British lads with shaggy hair and raspy vocals wailing angsty, lovelorn verses over garage rock instrumentals. But how long has it been since we’ve seen it? It seems that the reign of indie rock bands such as The Strokes, Franz Ferdinand, and The Killers, has long been overthrown by the rise of trap and dubstep music.

[A] small table with three plates displaying the day’s specialties was the very first thing I noticed when I walked into this newly opened restaurant, located on Route 47. But what really caught my attention was the unique name of these specialties: Crab Bennies, Parfait Crepes, and the Classic Blueberry French Toast.

“Transcendence” fails to rise above a clunky plot

By Holly Baldacci
April 19, 2014

To me, the most successful sci-fi focuses on concepts just out of our reach and plays them off as plausible. “Transcendence” starts out with this promise, but as the minutes tick by, the plot only grows more ridiculous, and the concepts become almost magical as opposed to scientific and technological.

For those of you looking for a teen fantasy romance with a mythical setting with dazzling special effects, emotionally in-depth characters, vampire folklore mixed in with the average teenage life, and a suspenseful plot leading up to an intense climax… well I wish you good luck, because you definitely won’t be finding it here.
