The James Logan Courier

By Hassina Obaidy, Courier Staff Writer

Director Sam Raimi continues the trilogy of Spiderman with many twists in the storyline and intense fight sequences.

Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire) and Mary Jane Watson (Kirsten Dunst) are both madly in love with each other in the beginning of the film. When MJ lands a role as a broadway singer, Peter Parker, alter-ego of Spiderman, tries to save the city by fighting crimes while working as a freelance photographer for the Daily Bugle. But tensions rise between the couple when MJ loses her part in the role and Peter fails to offer sympathy.

For many of us, the idea of being imbued with superpowers is something of a fun little fantasy to entertain while waiting for the bus or sitting through another boring lecture in class. After all, Superman doesn't have to wait for the bus. Superman can just faster‑than‑a‑speeding‑bullet his way over to where he wants to go. And if he doesn't want to stay in class, what's the administration going to do to him? They can't possibly pull a kryptonite‑encrusted referral on the guy; hell, they scarcely have enough funds to stop me from cutting, and I could barely beat my ex in arm wrestling.

XBOX 360 ELITE
From: Microsoft
Price: $479

Ask most people to describe the Xbox 360, and the words "video" and "game" are bound to come up, likely in sequence.

That's what makes the release of the Xbox 360 Elite a bit puzzling. It's the same Xbox 360 you know and maybe love, and it's still a top-notch gaming system. But there's no way Microsoft designed this with gamers in mind.
