Breeze Perspectives: “She who waits, also serves” a rewarding saying
By Jackie Quattrocchi, contributing writer

For most women, the sight of a man in a military uniform can turn heads and catapult our minds into a whirlwind of daydreams ranging from romantic days on the beach to steamy nights spent at home—not to mention a feeling of security, because, after all, he did go through basic training. However, as a Navy girlfriend, I can assure you there’s more to dating a sailor or a soldier than just a sexy uniform. More...

By Rachel Chemerynski, contributing writer

‘Cloverfield’ new perspective on monster flicks
By Justin Thurmond, staff writer

If you’re looking for a classic monster movie,  look no further than “Cloverfield.”  It follows in the footsteps of all the classics with a unique style. It begins with a group of young adults throwing a going away party for their friend Rob, (played by Michael Stahl-David) who is moving to Japan because of his job.  Then something terrible happens and New York City is suddenly under attack.  A monster-like creature (and no, it isn’t Godzilla) runs rampant through the city’s streets.  Rob, with his brother Jason (played by Mike Vogel, “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”), Jason’s girlfriend Lily (played by Jessica Lucas, “She’s the Man”), and their friends Hud (played by T.J. Miller) and Marlena (played by Lizzy Caplan, “Mean Girls”)  attempt a desperate escape from the chaotic city. More...
