By Hilary Leister · Thursday, April 16, 2009

Attention AU: Hollywood has done it again! They've created yet another sick comedy starring Seth Rogen that features endless jokes about sex, drugs and human stupidity. In case you missed "Knocked Up," "Superbad" or "Pineapple Express," check out Rogen's latest film: "Observe and Report," a delightful little flick about an underachieving mall cop (Rogen) and his quest to win the love of his life (Anna Faris) by solving both a robbery and a sexual assault case before an egotistical investigator (Ray Liotta) beats him to it.

PC 'Last Remnant' lacks Xbox quality

By Michael Conte | April 9

The game is a port from Xbox 360 to PC, an uncommon for the genre, and the battle system looks more like a turn-based RTS thanks to dozens of characters on the screen at once.

Summer story sizzles

By Donny T Sheldon | April 6

"Superbad" director Greg Mottola's "Adventureland" might look like another frivolous teen summer romp, yet its clever balance of lewd humor and poignant insight renders the film a charming stride of originality in an over-done genre.
