Elmo and the gang put on a special show for the children and families at Tinker AFB.

The USO has been partnering with Sesame Street since 2008 and has visited well over 400,000 troops and their families. 

On July 7, the world, or a few of us in it, were given the chance to see footage from the upcoming Marvel film “Guardians of the Galaxy.”

The Star-Spangled Man with a Plan is back for this third outing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” is the third post-Avengers film, and marks a change in tone for the superhero universe. 

I’m giving “Noah” a B. It is an enjoyable reinvention of a story every child learns, but it tries too hard to make it fit in with the epics that don’t have a responsibility to stay faithful to their source material. “Noah” is rated PG-13 for violence, disturbing images and brief suggestive content.

From Kickstarter to the Silver Screen; EastWord reviews Veronica Mars

On February 14, the period for the official final voting for Academy members began. Voting will end on February 25, and March 2 is the big awards show to end a season that has been neck-and-neck for many movies. “12 Years A Slave” and “American Hustle” look to be the runaway favorites for the night, but “Gravity” and “Dallas Buyers Club” have been creeping in on the accolades. As final voting begins, EastWord News has picked its favorites for the biggest categories.

Another year, another young adult adaptation, and yet another featuring supernatural forces. While this may seem the statement of an exasperated reviewer, the truth is, the exasperation comes for the expectations I hold for many of these films.

This is no different with the new "Vampire Academy," now in theatres. Released pre- "Twilight" craze, the main character even makes a comment regarding the sparkly vampires, and how the vamps of VA do no such thing.

The wilds of Montana host St. Vladimir’s Academy, where the Moroi and dhampirs are educated. The Moroi are mortal and alive, as opposed to the living dead Strigoi. Dhampirs are the offspring of the Moroi and another dhampir, and are trained to be guardians for the Moroi. That’s just the tip of the iceberg.
