“The Men Who Stare at Goats.” Really? That’s the best title you could come up with? Seriously, that title is at the same level of dumb as “Snakes on a Plane.” Or so I thought.

So Cameron Diaz really hasn’t done anything spectacular lately. I mean, “My Sister’s Keeper” had promise, but she overacted just a tad. There was also “What Happens in Vegas,” but some think it definitely should have stayed there. I saw the trailer for “The Box.” Very promising.

The tagline for “Orphan” is probably the biggest understatement of the century.

The “Blair Witch”-esque horror film “Paranormal Activity” hit Hays on Friday, and I have to say it was pretty darned scary.

For some reason, “Mistaken Identity” — a late-’90s, almost certainly Lifetime Original Movie — can be found in the new releases section at Hastings.

In all likelihood, you’ve never heard of Cory Doctorow. This is a crying shame, since he is a fantastic author who just released an excellent new book called “Makers” last Thursday.

This Monday, Hays was graced with the presence of a big band called String of Pearls, and it performed its show “In the Mood,” which was comprised of popular music from the 1940s.

I should have known that the bland indie music in the “Where the Wild Things Are” trailer was a precursor for what was to come: a movie about boring, hippie-esque monsters bickering with an annoying little boy.

If you appreciate a little good-natured nun fun, and can put up with too many puns using the word “habit,” then you should definitely take the time to go see “Nunsense,” a musical presented by our own Fringe Theatre Company.

I admit, I was skeptical about the new Halo 3: ODST game. I mean, a Halo game where instead of suiting up as everyone’s favorite invincible super solider, Master Chief, we instead get to play as “The Rookie,” a faceless Orbital Drop Shock Trooper? Does that even qualify as a Halo game?
