Enter Oblivion

Tom Cruise stars in crunchy smoothie [ok]

Corey Johnson

Thoughtful, well-acted and unique

Total Recall Redux

Bombastic imagery and slick chase sequences

Seth MacFarlane doesn't quite make a seamless jump into films with Ted, his feature directorial debut

Corey Johnson
Seth MacFarlane (creator of Family Guy and several other nearly identical shows) hasn’t quite made a seamless jump into films with Ted, his feature directorial debut.

Corey Johnson
On April 1, 1998, the cover of the Santa Fe Reporter underwent the most significant redesign in its then-24-year history. Now, 14 years later, we’re doing it again.
