Back to 1976: THE BAD NEWS BEARS

by Heath Holland
The Bad News Bears seems to represent different things to different people. Some see it as an expose on the competitive world of California Little League. Most people my age would call it the greatest kids baseball movie of our generation (the successor would be The Sandlot). All of these are accurate, but I also see something else: this is one of the first movies to realistically depict a young Generation X.

The Grumpier the Better

by Melissa Uhrin
I recently saw some stupid posting that someone had created on the Facebook titled: “Who would you bring back for one more movie?” In my three second glimpse, I noted that the person that had posted it had chosen Paul Walker and I don't know why, but it kind of pissed me off a little. It seemed like someone was profiting (popularity wise) on the loss of our beloved entertainers. I dismissed the posting and gave it no more thought... But apparently I have lost the capability to control which direction my thoughts (squirrel!) pursue... Damn ADD. Sometimes it proves to be for the best, though. At least in my case.
