Cloverfield Didn’t Suck
Cloverfield — an American monster movie done in the style of a YouTube video blog — doesn’t suck. I can’t really wrap my head around that. It’s not a cinematic masterpiece: it doesn’t want to be. It is, however, incredibly fun and surprisingly humorous.

Let’s Get Drunk GW
It is a fact that finding alcohol on this campus is way too difficult. No one ever drinks around here, ya know? Well, put down your Sierra Mist Free and pick up your wallet because Tonic and WOW Wingery can now legally serve booze on their over-priced, over-hyped menus!
