'Apollo 18' Shoots for the Moon and Misses

"Apollo 18"  is reminiscent of the "Blair Witch Project" … almost a "'Paranormal Activity' in Space."  The trailers for "Apollo 18" are enigmatic, confusing and fragmented, which is a good representation of the one hour and twenty-six minutes of the film in its entirety. Viewers are first ...

I feel so alone Even when I'm surrounded As I stand in the middle of a crowd I see hundreds walk by And still there is a feeling of loneliness It feels as if I'm the only one left The lone survivor of a bloody massacre My cries for company are not heard They must not be able to see me Or maybe ...

I literally counted down the days until the worldwide phenomenon hit the big screens for the last time ever in the past ten years.

Sex in the Ville

Tara Carr Rotunda ReporterI know this column is called Sex in the Ville, but the funny thing is I rarely (maybe never) actually talk about sex. It's more like sex the noun, not sex the verb.
