Brand New leaves

'Night at the Museum' teaches history while entertaining by Brittany Bradford, entertainment editor
During the days after New Year’s and before Valentine’s Day,
there is an abundance of mass confusion and chaos among a
large group of society, men. For many women, one day stands
out as the Godfather of all “special days.” The initial
meaning of Valentine’s Day is a time to celebrate love and
offers a specific date to show those we love how much we
really do care. However, women have made this into the
biggest test of male creativity, and it has become a
provider of an accurate display of how much he really is
listening.
'Alpha Dog' kidnaps
moviegoers' hearts, minds
by Laura Cain, staff writer
When the movie “Alpha Dog” began with the playing of home
videos of a young boy to the music of “Somewhere over the
Rainbow,” I almost had to check my ticket stub to make sure
I was in the correct movie.
When I first saw the previews for
“Alpha Dog,” I assumed it was Justin Timberlake’s big break
into the movie business. However, I was surprised not only
at Timberlake being a supporting actor, but at how
unbelievably different this movie turned out to be.

replicate the old sounds of early Metallica, Slayer, and
often…Pantera. The Dead See members include: Mark Keys,
guitars/vocals; Neil Barrett, guitar/vocals; Marcos Morales,
Bass/sound effects; and Josh Paul-drums. They recently
released, their new album titled “Through the Veil”.

Eastwood directs
'Letters' across enemy lines by Stephanie Perez, staff writer
Clint Eastwood
has done it again in the World War II film “Letters from Iwo
Jima.”
“Letters from
Iwo Jima” is the second half of a pair of movies Eastwood
released last year. The first of the duo was “Flags of our
Fathers.” I, unfortunately, have not seen “Flags of our
Fathers” so I was a bit scared of how much I would
understand “Letters.”
For those of you
who are like me and did not watch “Flags of our Fathers,”
you will still be able to enjoy this masterpiece.
Mockumentary takes 'Borat' on glorious journey by Stephanie Perez, staff writer
“Borat:
Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious
Nation of Kazakhstan” is probably one of the funniest movies
that I have seen in a long time.
Everything
about it was hilarious. But what do you expect from the guy
who brought Ali G to HBO, Sacha Baron Cohen.
