“Rambo” sequel continues packing action

Published Jan 29, 2008

Nobody wants to mess with John Rambo.

Since his first appearance in 1982, Rambo has been a name associated with butt-kicking, arrow launching, bad-guy-killing mayhem.



The 2008 version of "Rambo" picks up where he last left off - destroying everyone.



Similar to the Rambo movies of the past, the new edition is short on inspiring dialogue, opting for the action as often as possible.



At 61 years old, Sylvester Stallone still looks like he was built to hurt.

In one of my journalism classes, I found that a majority of my peers do not watch news on TV.


My generation as a whole has grown accustomed to the Internet, and this trend continues to grow.


Norms change, and people change with them.


In our society, we have more opportunities to access news than our forefathers did.

Published Jan 29, 2008

It is noon, one of the busiest hours of the day for lunch. The dining line ends near the entrance. By 12:30 p.m., the dining halls will be full.


With 10 minutes in between each class, some students are in such a hurry, they take their food with them and eat it at their next destination.


However, starting in August, lunch at TCU may be a different experience, one that experts say could have mixed effects on TCU's nutritional status.

Although this is something that has been much requested and anticipated by students, it seems that it's short.

Many people might believe that "There Will Be Blood" is too long and uneventful to be entertaining.


However, it must be understood that the film is not an action movie, but a character sketch. As a film, "There Will Be Blood" is not necessarily a terrific, must-see motion picture, but it is a good, solid movie and I recommend it.
