Maybe it’s the fact that I haven’t seen a good movie in a while, but I like the new movie “O,” a modern take on Shakespeare’s classic “Othello.” I know that I’m not supposed to like anything, especially teen movies, but this flick managed to capture the treachery, jealousy and scheming that made the original so darn interesting. The movie stars Mekhi Phifer as Odin, the only black student at an upper-class prep school.
Upon returning to campus this year, we inevitably reflect on the memories of the past few months when it seemed like responsibility was at a minimum.
Puddle of Mudd Come Clean (Flawless) Rap rocker Fred Durst has been anything but original in recent years, and his latest contribution to the music industry is nothing new.
System of a Down Toxicity (American) It’s fortunate most record stores organize their rock music alphabetically rather than by category, because I wouldn’t know where to find the latest effort by System of a Down. The Los Angeles quartet ranges from hard rock to heavy metal on its new record and often throughout individual tracks.

You know that moment in horror movies when the audience gets so angry at the people on-screen for being stupid enough to walk into a room when they shouldn’t or for doing something that will get them killed? Well, the new “Jeepers Creepers” is so jam-packed full of this cheap effect, you’ll be anxiously waiting for Darwinism to take over and get the heroes out of the way and you out of the theater. Starring Gina Philips and Justin Long as two college kids on their way home from spring break on the back roads, this flick jumps all over the place, leaving the audience confused - is this movie cheeky or funny?
I watch movies. Lots and lots of movies. It’s my job - as the film reporter here at The State News, I have seen nearly every movie that has made its way into theaters in the past four months, and I’ll probably see everything coming out in the next few months. But I have a problem. Most of the movies I see stink.

My ties to the “caf” have been chopped like yesterday’s chow mein, and I no longer have the freedom to graze miles of dirt pudding and German chocolate cake.No more delectable Johnny Marzetti and tater gems.There is no grilled cheese-tomato soup combo day for which to jump about in gleeful celebration.Why won’t the landlord put a soft serve ice cream machine in my kitchen?
