12 Pubs: THE WORLD’S END (Let’s Boo Boo)
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor There are so many themes which should be explored in this post: lost youth, failure, the nature of the human race and the bonds of friendship. But I’m spent. I’ve written and edited a lot this week and I’m really trying to focus on getting appropriate sponsors to advertise on the site!

Candi’s Corner: The Immortal Intruments: City of Bones
Keeping the Trend of Strong Females Going: The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones Review by Candice Cordelia Ever since Twilight made its entree into movie theaters six years ago, audiences, especially of the female variety, have been seeking stronger female characters on film. Television had Buffy, Dana Scully, and Khaleesi, but where on film was the next Ellen Ripley for young girls to model themselves after? The answer to Bella Swan’s swooning, was Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence). Katniss, without superpowers, used her common sense and intelligence to best her competition under a totalitarian government. The second installment of The Hunger Games movie trilogy, Catching Fire, won’t be out until November,…

Candi’s Corner: THE SPECTACULAR NOW
In the Age of “YOLO”– A Review of The Spectacular Now By Candace Cordelia Being the good and curious film reviewer that I am, I had to read some other movie reviews about The Spectacular Now before seeing the movie.

When so much praise is given to a movie, my first feeling is excitement… and then skepticism crawls in. There have been a lot of movies that have been called…

The First Fruits – Apple: JOBS movie
I’m strictly a Windows and Android kinda girl. Probably due to financial constraints. But even when I do win the Publishers Clearing House $5000 A Week for Life, not a commercial, truly my destiny! I’ll still probably stick with Windows and Android over Apple because it’s what I know. With that being said, I was still highly anticipating the biopic Jobs directed by Joshua Michael Stern. Why? Because Steve Job’s life represents the world we’re so immersed in on a daily basis – Technology! How involved was Apple? JMS: They weren’t [involved] at all. They don’t have anything to gain by coming out for or against it. All of…

Clary and Jace in Philly – The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones Interviews
I got a chance to meet the two leads and the author from the upcoming movie The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones – Lily Collins, Jamie Campbell Bower and Cassandra Clare. This is the latest in young adult fantasy fiction to capture the imaginations of those who long for a world of magic, monsters and mortal danger. In 2007 author Cassandra Clare introduced young adult readers to the reluctant warrior, Clary Fray (Collins), in The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, the first entry in what would become a fantasy-adventure empire. In Clare’s carefully constructed magical world, a young woman finds herself surrounded by warlocks, vampires, werewolves, demons—and the mysterious Shadowhunters,…
