LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Finding Freedonn and
independence at FSU
Being a freshman in college is an un
believable experience. It is your first taste
of freedom, the feeling of independence.
You’re basically on your own. This is the
life and I absolutely love it. Ever since
i stepped on campus in June 2010 I felt a
sense of belonging and was ready for the
experience. I found living in a dormitory a
great experience. It allowed me to develop
life long relationships with my dorm mates.
I love the fact that in college, your class
schedule is under discretion. Procrastination
is a down fall though. With so much free
time you get caught in distractions and put
ting assigrmients off to the side until later.
College requires good time management.
Through all of the demands of college, I
am determined to make these four years the
best.

Movie enthusiast speaks
out on Craven’s Scream
Over the weekend, I saw Wes Craven’s
new movie Scream 4. Staring Anthony
Anderson, Neve Campbell, Emma Rob
erts, David Arquette, Courteney Cox, and
Hayden Panettiere. Scream is recognized
for rebirthing the horror genre. In Decem
ber 1996, Scream first hit theaters making
impressive revenue at the box office. The
infamous ghost face killer favorite ques
tion “What’s your favorite Scary Movie”
captured fans all across the globe. Well, lets
just say 15 years later the movie still has
kick. Scream 4’s beginning was veiy catchy
because it was different from the first three
films and it balanced horror and humor. Sid
ney Prescott return’s home and revelations
stkrt immediately.
Sidney really learned some fighting
moves. The fights between Sidney and
Ghost face were action packed. The mov
ie’s motto is “New Decade New Rules” new
rules for surviving a modem horror trilogy
were expressed. I must admit the suspense
in the movie was wonderful. At one point,
at lest half the theater hqd jumped out of
their seat. Everyone chanted “run run run”
while ghost face was in action. I’m not gon
na ruin the ending for people who haven’t
seen it yet, but I’ll summarize it with three
letters (O.M.G). Overall, I give the movie
five thumbs up. It was so good, next week
end I’m gonna watch it again

RESTAURANT REVIEW: Ml CASITAS
Taco night a bust
By Alicia Bayat
Voice Editor-in-Chief
Let’s just say Taco night
didn’t exactly work out.
What’s one of the quickest
things you can eat? It’s ver
satile and mobile. How can
anyone mess that up?
Well Mi Casitas on Cam
den Road in Hope Mills
managed to do that.
I didn’t even order any
thing outlandish. I went in
there and ordered a typical,
ever day dish. It was some
thing they are probably used'
to hearing Americans order.
You order what’s familiar
as far as Mexican food is
concerned. I went for the
number 25 a simple dish of
enchiladas, rice and beans.
How simple is that.
Well obviously it’s too
difficult even for a Mexican
restaurant to manage. The
tortillas were hard and dry.
The rice was under cooked
and the beans had to be day
old. The enchiladas were
just that one enchilada with
stringy processed dry cheese.
Lets not even talk aboiit how
they managed to
cut their dinner
serving down
to less than the
usual lunch serv
ing. It’s good for
the diet but bad
for the expecta
tions.
When that
didn’t work out I
tried their Cami-
tas. That wasn’t
so bad. Their
pork was decent
ly soft and the
rice and beans
were a little bet
ter in that dish,
but then here we
are again with
their budget like portions for
a dinner menu. Could this
just be the economy and por
tion sizes suffer as well as
quality?
The restaurant itself was
The atmo
sphere was
off putting,
loud and clut
tered, with the
vinyl booths
that seemed
to have tears
here and there
and the harsh
low lighting,
crowded with employees,
carts and chairs strewn about,
but not customers. It had this
cluttered feel where you just
wanted to pul
things away.

not exactly
place I would
want to sit and
eat again.
I wouldn’t
even recom
mend thei
pick up ser
vice. It would be a better bet
to either eat at home or find
another Mexican restaurant.
I think I will opt for cook
ing lessons.
MOVIE REVIEW: HANNA
From lackluster beginning to confusing
end, movie potential lost on audience
By Anna Lee
Voice Staff Writer
“I just missed your heart.” These are the
words of Harma (Saoirse Ronan) a teenage
assassin in training. Hanna is not your typi
cal teenager. Her social life is void with the
exception of her father, Erik Heller, and ex
CIA agent. Hanna lives a very sheltered life
in an arctic forest in Finland. Her only indi
cations of society are an encyclopedia and a
book of fairytales. She has no knowle4ge of
what music sounds like or what electricity
is. Erik puts Hanna through rigorous train
ing preparing her for a mission involving re
venge for a tragedy that took place years ago.
Hanna purposefully gets caught by the CIA
in order to fulfill her mission. She develops a
cat mouse relationship with Marissa Heigler
(Cate Blanchett) a high power CIA agent.
Marissa plays the manipulative antagonist but
she’s hiding a dirty secret that can help Han
na come to terms with her identity and past.
During her action packed mission, Hanna not
only kills several people but she experiences
some normalcy. She forms her first ffiendship
and even gets her first kiss. Hanna soon be
gins to realize that she doesn’t want to hurt
people anymore but with Marissa after her
can she find the inner strength to stop?
I felt like Hanna had great potential but fell
short. The first half of the movie is slow and
dragging. The second half is easier to watch
because I got a better understanding of each
character’s motive. However, it was still hard
for me to follow. The story line is all over the
place and it’s hard to put the pieces together
and make sense of everything. A lot of my
questions were left unanswered.
Some things I did like were the musical
score and the cinematography. My Chemical
Romance is behind the instrumentals in Han
na. Their edgy high strung rock music went
perfect with the various action scenes. The
cinematography was especially good. I loved
all the scenery. From the isolated snowy for
est in Finland, to the deserts of Morocco, an
abandoned amusement park and a fantasy
like house .with mushrooms hanging from the
ceiling-Hanna will take you on a visual trip
Overall, Hanna was just okay. Not
great but not horrible. I wouldn’t recommend
seeing it at the movie theater, just wait until
it comes to a Redbox. The idea was good but
the execution, not so much.
