Scream no longer thrills in fourth installment
We don’t know what watching Scream 4 was better for: watching the Cox/Arquette marriage disintegrate or getting to see the Scream plot hash-out one final time.
The Dodos bring marvelously mediocre show to the Rickshaw
Dodos’ sound needs some new life.

Dr. Dorothy Barenscott’s new Intro to Film Studies course was a quick catalyst to creating a healthy space for student cinephiles. The result? A cineclub and a possible screening auditorium spearheaded by the Kwantlen professor.
Kristi’s top 5 anticipated albums
Considering the amount of fucking awesome albums released last year, being 2011 is probably like dating a dude whose ex was the queen of blowjobs. Here are five of the most (potentially) awesome albums coming out this year:

You’ve been following the band’s career since you were three. Very likely.), all while excluding those who were around during that time (“Yeah right, Mom.
