Superhero Movie gives laughs to properly aged audience | 04/25/08 |
Many of the spoof movies that have been made in the last few years have not been as great as they were cracked up to be. Movies like Epic Movie, Scary Movie, Walk Hard, and Not Another Teen Movie; were all supposed to be big hits that never reached their intended target. However, a new spoof movie is in theatres and actually provides some big laughs.
Superhero Movie, which pokes fun at Batman Begins, Fantastic Four, and most notably, Spider-Man, is successful because of the fast-hitting nature and delivery of jokes. |

Bahama Breeze provides island getaway in the city | 04/24/08 |
If you need a vacation to the beach, you do not have to go far. Bahama Breeze, a Caribbean inspired restaurant, is located just outside of Pittsburgh and minutes from the Pittsburgh International Airport.
The day I went the weather was cold and miserable, but as soon as I got out of my vehicle, the smells and sights did a 360. Outside, a gazebo is attached to the restaurant and covers a fire pit that so patrons can sit and enjoy the atmosphere while waiting for a table. When inside, they escape to a beach party with steel band drum music. |

| First there were six: Max, Matthew, Ozymandias, Icarus, Peter, and Wendy. Six extraordinary children trying to live ordinary lives. Six children, created with both human and bird embryos. They were quite the sight for the sore eyes of a bustling Rocky Mountain town. Six children whose unique body composition, extravagant wings, and curious pasts left them to the mercy of the media. Six children who quickly realized that their parents were not the only ones who thought they were special. |
