Oscars
The
song “Alone Yet Not Alone” has had its Oscar nomination revoked. Which means
that “Let it Go” from Frozen is that much closer to winning!
Justin Bieber
Turned
himself into the police for assaulting a limousine driver last December. I
guess his trouble with the police wasn’t just a “One Time” thing! HEYOOOOOOOO

This
carol they began that hour,
With
a hey and a ho and a hey nonny no
How
that life was but a flower
In
the springtime, the only pretty ring time,
When
all the pretty birds do sing, hey ding a ding ding;
Sweet
lovers love the spring.

this hunk, especially considering he’s the only one on this list who is still
alive.
Devil’s Due: Review
By:
Colin Garon (Devil’s DU)
Yes, I saw Devil’s Due. No, I’m not proud.
Like many other recent horror movies, most
notably the Paranormal Activity series, Devil’s Due uses a found-footage format
to tell the story of one everyday woman’s shocking demonic pregnancy. A proud
newlywed husband decides to videotape every moment of his married life, and as
a result unwittingly chronicles the nine months during which the Antichrist
develops in his wife’s womb. Highlights include a minute-long shot of the wife
eating raw lamb in a supermarket while a shocked boy looks on, a shot of the
wife eating a freshly killed deer while shocked teenagers look on, and a shot
of the wife smashing in a car’s windows while a shocked husband looks on.
The premise of the movie is intriguing. But its
execution was shoddy—it was never really scary,
and this is coming from me, who is still scared of the demon from Insidious
over a year later. In the end, it simply conforms to too many horror tropes,
and is as a result very predictable and very mundane.
Devil’s Due had some nice points—the above
highlights, for example, as well as the performances of its actors, which were
good—but ultimately, its worse points—its failure to scare—detracted from the
overall experience. I would not recommend seeing this movie, or any sequels
that come from it. (The first sequel would, of course, be called Devil’s 2.) In
fact, I’d go so far as to say that if you planned to see this movie, Devil’s
DON’T! Because honestly, that pun is scarier and more shocking than Devil’s Due
in its entirety.
20/100
