West Chester has a variety of things to do when it comes to college students wanting to hang out. For example, Fennario is a “new” coffee pub, brewing with local action. “I come for good coffee, the atmosphere and live music.” said Milty, a customer. On Mondays and Tuesdays there music where you can enjoy a game or drink. “Our very own customers have thought up our drink menu. Fennario is a unique alternative for something to do.

This has to be the best series out there. It’s the story of a boy named Tenchi Masaki who lives with his father and grandfather in 20th century Japan. Tenchi’s grandfather, a priest that looks after a nearby shrine, warned Tenchi of a nearby cave that is supposedly haunted by a demon. Of course, Tenchi’s curiosity gets the better of him and he ventures in. There he finds an ancient sword and unleashes the demon, who happens to be a teenage space girl, Ryoko, who was locked in the cave centuries ago. This sets off a chain reaction that will changes Tenchi’s life forever. Throughout the series he meets an array of amusing and odd characters, such as Mihoshi, an airhead galactic police officer on the hunt for Ryoko; Ryo-oh-ki, half cute bunny rabbit and half spaceship (go figure); Wasyu, a short, little and cute girl who happens to be the most brilliant scientist in the galaxy, and many more. This is the most addictive series have ever encountered and leaves you wanting more after every episode. Be sure to get this the next time you renta movie.

Opinion & Review McHale’s Navy Is a Colossal Waste of Time By JoAnne Johnson There is a time to laugh and a time to cry. There is also a time to throw your milkduds ata movie screen and retreat in disgust. McHale's Navy, which recently opened at area theatres, is a reincarnated version of the 60’s sitcom, minus the comedy. The story takes place somewhere in the Carribean, as opposed to the T.V. show which took place in the South Pacific. A retired Navy lieutenant McHale (played by Tom Arnold) is asked by the Navy to return to action, because he is predictably the only person who can battle the evil forces of terrorism and the bad accent of Tim Curry’s character, Vladakov. David Alan Grier serves as a brown-nosing seaman, who wears his pants tight, and whose lisp is overdone. In a few scenes he provides an inkling of comedy relicf, though. The remaining characters take on “stooges” roles, each one possessing some kind of fake, annoying quirk. The original Quinton McHale of the T.V. series gets to appear in the movie as the Admiral, and was probably the only quality actor throughout the entire film. This movie was extremely predictable, with at best, vague humor. Because of the weak and confusing storyline, it is difficult to tell what the moral of the story is. Actually I couldn’t understand what the purpose was of making this movie in the first place. Allinall, there are no redeeming qualities to this movie, and Iam still in shock that the theatre actually charged me to watch it.
