“The Iceman,” a Nasty Piece of Work
by Alejandro A. Riera
Richard Kuklinski has some serious anger management issues. He rarely smiles and when he does all you get out of him is this intimidating thin-lipped expression. His body is always tense; he clenches and unclenches his fists constantly. His eyes are full of rage.
Star Trek: Into Darkness (Spoiler Free)
by Leo Guerrero
I went to see the special screening of “Star Trek: Into Darkness” and as a “Trekkie” (meaning a Star Trek fan who is quite comfortable with the characters and history), I was expecting a lot. I grew up watching the reruns of the original cast on tv and saw the movies made during the 1980′s. So do you need to know all the nostalgia and background to enjoy this movie? Not necessarily, but if you do, you will enjoy it that much more.

Is the HTC First gone already?
by Alberto
We all waited for the announcement of the Facebook phone, or also known as the HTC First, would be released. Once it was announced, we were underwhelmed. I wonder how many people out there has purchased it or is considering it. Read this if you are considering to get the phone.
“The Great Gatsby,” the Ultimate Bromance
by Alejandro A. Riera
F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby” has long taunted filmmakers with its deceitfully simple yet subtle prose. I am not familiar with the 1949 film noir adaptation starring Alan Ladd much less with the 2000 made-for-cable one starring Toby Stephens. However, I did sit through the 1974 version directed by Jack Clayton and starring Robert Redford and Mia Farrow for a film class in college right after reading Fitzgerald’s masterpiece. To this day it stands as a classic textbook example of what not to do when adapting a work of literature to another medium. Sometimes a book IS better than the movie and should be left well enough alone.
