Wolfman
    Although a remake of the classic Wolfman, the film was awesome. The way the Wolfman changed and the graphics were better, but it still stuck to the cheesy Wolfman look, like the classic.
    Benicio Del Toro stars as  Lawrence Talbut who has been tracked down by his brothers fiance Gwen Conliffe (Emily Blunt) due to the fact that his brother has gone missing. When he arrives in Blackmoor he learns that a gaint beast has been terrorizing the village and murdering people.
    Soon after arriving he discovers his brother had been murdered by the beast and joins the hunt to find and slay the beast. As he gains more information he discovers a dark secret he was forced to forget.

NHL10
    NHL10 is this newest installment of video game hockey from EA Sports.  In this years edition of  NHL10 you can play as your favorite hockey team  in season mode, or if you don’t want play the game for that long you can go straight to NHL playoffs and win the Stanley Cup right away. You could also be a pro hockey player in the league now, or you could create your own hockey player and get drafted by a hockey team. just because its called NHL10 doesn’t  mean that’s  the only league that the game offers. The game also has the  minor leagues and other leagues.  NHL game has first person fighting system where you can fight with other hockey players better. What I think makes this years NHL hockey game so good is the realistic graphics. What makes it so good is the new joystick controls. It also has real penalties. That’s why I think this years NHL10 is great game to buy for any hockey lover. The rating on this game is E that means every one. That’s why I give this game five out of five stars.

Music Review


    Story of the Year has released their fourth studio album: The Constant. The Constant continues the precedent set by previous albums, featuring the big riffs and melodies we’ve come to expect, yet it rarely gets stale. The title is fitting, since the band has been pretty consistent with their music since their first album, Page. And just like the three previous albums, the energy seeps out of The Constant’s pores throughout, as guitarists Ryan Phillips and Philip Sneed try to keep up with vocalist Dan Marsala’s pace.
    While The Constant gets off to a slow start with the first few tracks, the second half really shines. “Ten Years Down” is incredibly catchy, and final track “Eye For An Eye” is the band going all out. Musically, the band has always been talented, making up for the average at best lyricism. If anything, The Constant comes across as a more focused The Black Swan. This is a genuinely fun album to rock out to – nothing more, nothing less - thus serving as the perfect pick-me-up during the bitter winter months ahead. While Story of the Year won’t win any originality awards any time soon, they definitely still know how to bring a party to your speakers.
