Star cast can't elevate boring film

by Daniel V. Garcia Daily Lobo You've probably noticed several trends in filmmaking as of late.

by Jessica Del Curto The Daily Lobo Vickie Temer said dangling from a rope by the skin of her knees and shoulder blades isn't as painful as it looks. "It's mind over matter," she said. "It's really just how you look at it." The 20-year-old has been performing acts of suspension since she was 18.
