Sin City : stylized, sensual, shocking hit
Last week’s top-grossing film, Sin City, is a collection of interwoven tales taken from the graphic novels by the same name. The brainchild of Frank Miller (who authored the graphic novels) and directed by Robert Rodrigez, Sin City is a visual thrill.

Supplementing your lifestyle
Heart disease is now one of the number-one killers of Americans and with the fast-paced yet sedentary lifestyle of the current “technological age,” many are finding it harder and harder to eat right.

Constantine is gritty with a twisted theme
Starring Keanu Reeves, from the Matrix, and Rachel Weisz, from the Mummy, Constantine is not only a great melding of the two talents, but also a great marriage of the feel of both the Matrix and Mummy movies. The film evokes all of the dark angst and underlying struggles of the Matrix and at the same time touches all of the myth and mystery of the Mummy.

Your homework might be giving you a pain in the neck
You sit, hour after hour. Slouching over your books and hunched toiling over the computer. So you’re a diligent student … okay, maybe you’re an avid video-gamer. Either way, if you write, watch TV, or type at a computer for more than an hour at a time it is very likely that you slouch while you’re doing it.
Beyond Candy and Flowers
So the day is almost upon us again, Valentine’s Day. For many it is a great day to celebrate the love you have. Or even celebrate a love that you hope to one day have. For others it is a day of dread because it means picking out a gift for their significant other.

Award-winning Sideways is worth taking a trip to Sioux Falls
During the 11th annual Screen Actor’s Guild Awards Saturday, Feb. 5, the first Actor Award for Outstanding Performance of a Cast in a Feature-length Motion Picture went to the cast of Sideways. I, for one, wholeheartedly agree with this decision. The more I think about the film, the higher it ranks among my all-time favorites.
