Striding away from the Belvedere building complex, junior Addie Johnson and Senior Cooper Johnson pose for a family picture in Vienna, Austria. The Johnson family lived in Austria for six years and while living there, Cooper said he enjoyed the freedom provided by public transportation. “I liked just the overall city and the public transportation,” Cooper said. “It gave me the ability to go anywhere I wanted whenever I felt like it.”

DEN, a 35-minute-long free period students are given, is used in many ways for a variety of purposes. Students use this time to work on homework, make up missed tests and sometimes catch up with friends. Lots of students use DEN to run “errands,” as well, whether that means picking up an assignment from a teacher, visiting with a student teacher or asking the librarian about a tech issue. Students can no longer leave their designated classroom during DEN, even to go to the restroom.

Warm Bodies lovingly resurrects the zombie

Generally when you think of zombie movies, love isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. The blood, guts and gore that play a main role in zombie flicks are a prime contrast to the mushy, gushy love in romance films. Yet sometimes, the stars align and the two combine in a strange, juxtaposed situation. Such happens in the movie Warm Bodies, released Feb. 1, 2013.

When I walked into the theater, prepared for a casual double date, and learned that I’d be seeing a zombie movie, I was less than thrilled. Zombie movie? Date? Blood? Boyfriend? The combination seemed fatal. Next, I learned that Warm Bodies was a romance. A new combination came to mind, and I envisioned a twisted zombie apocalypse. And that was exactly what I got.

IMDb labels the movie in the comedy/horror/romance genre. Prepared for the horror and romance, I wondered what laughs could come out of such a strange setting. The first few were sparse chuckles, the next were some giggles, and the last were some solid few-second laughs. Although I didn’t have tears in my eyes, roll on the floor, or choke on my super-salty-buttery-popcorn, they’d nevertheless gotten a giggle out of me.

Rarely can I say that I laughed during a movie that didn’t include Will Ferrell, but I did. To be honest, rarely can I say that I stayed awake during a movie at all. If I’m going to watch a movie, it has to be entertaining, easy to follow, and interesting to say the least. Warm Bodies fulfilled all the requirements and exceeded my expectations.

For a person that favors Nicholas Sparks and Channing Tatum, I was pleasantly surprised when I got Dave Franco and Teresa Palmer. I mean I wasn’t complaining, and neither was my boyfriend. Although I wouldn’t consider Warm Bodies a spectacular comedy, horror, or romance, it was an exceptional combination of the three.
