Movie Review: 50 First Dates
by David Vandervort 
     Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore team up to make in my opinion there best movie ever.  This movie just showed more to me than anything that either actor had done before.  Still a very funny movie, this story also had more of a plot and some meaningful dialogue.  However one thing about this movie did bother me, and that was that it was just to short.  To me it seemed like the director ran out of time or money and tried to end things as fast as he could.  This movie was very pleasing but something about it just left me feeling empty when i left the theater.  If your looking for a good laugh, Adam Sandler and Rob Shcnieder don't disappoint.  If your looking for a well thought out and complete story this probably isn't the movie for you.


Game Review: NBA Street Vol. 2
by Armando Herrera

    NBA Street Vol. 2, the best basketball game you'll play this year.  No it's not all street players, it has all the essential pro NBA players.  This is a very good game, with the outstanding gamplay, all of the combos, to the exciting gamebreakers, you are garaunteed to never get bored.  Play with some of youfriends and challenge them to a pick up game, which is just of of the four game modes available.  there are pick up game, NBA challenge, Be a legend, and even Street school.  Build a tema and challenge the whole NBA to a street game.  Or create your own baller and make him a legend, by playing at famous playgrounds.  From Harlem to Philadelphia. You can even give yourplayer some stats to increase his playing skills . Now for people that don't know how to play this game because your a beginner, than street school is the place for you.  The main guy will teach you how to pass, do tricks, dunks, steals, trick counters, and how to use game breakers.  Sound like a good game? even thoughit sounds perfect it isn't.  for instance there is a limited soundtrack. There isn't nearly enough choices of music.  Also there is some game levels like be a legend, which is the hardest level on the game, makes it hard for you to win a game.  Even with all the negatives this game is still worth the $50 price tag.


Rap Review: Jay-z - The Black Album
by David Vandervort

    The end of a wonderful era.  Jay-z has announced that the Black Album will be  his last.  After nine albums the  self appointed, "greatest" is hanging up his mic.  Not his best album, but does have some good songs.  The production by Just Blaze, Eminem, and Kanye West is solid throughout the album, but Jay's lyrics fall short on a couple tracks.  This album was suppose to be an eye into Jay-z's life and the way he grew up, but he doesn't come across as angry like his lyrics seem to be.  The lyrics do make a lot of sense, but Jay isn't exactly the rapper that seems like he would be rapping about these things.  We are used to hearing songs about partying, and women, and there was only a small amount of that on this album.  Not a bad album, but knowing that it is going to be his last I expected more.
