Peter Capaldi Is the Twelfth Doctor

A while back, Matt Smith announced that he would be leaving Doctor Who at the end of this year. This left many Whovians asking, "Who is the next Doctor?" After months of anticipation and speculation, the BBC has finally answered us. They announced last Sunday that the Twelfth Doctor would be played by Peter Capaldi. Capaldi has been a Doctor Who fan for quite some time, and he even sent the BBC a letter asking them to make more episodes when he was fifteen years-old. He appeared on the British sci-fi classic before in "The Fires of Pompeii" when David Tennant was the Doctor. Peter Capaldi is most famous for his role as Malcom Tucker on The Thick of It on BBC Two. He also starred as a W.H.O. doctor in the recent zombie-thriller World War Z. Coincidence? I think not. Most long-time Whovians have welcomed Capaldi into the Doctor Who universe, but some newer fans are a little skeptical. At fifty-five years-old Peter Capaldi is a little older than recent Doctors, and some fans think that this would make the new Doctor "boring". We ourselves disagree with this statement; age does not define someone's acting prowess. What is our opinion on Peter Capaldi becoming the Doctor? Although we are slightly disappointed, still not a ginger, we can not wait to see what he brings to the show this fall. Capaldi being slightly older than recent Doctors might make the show a little more serious, or make the Doctor a more "powerful" character. Want more news on the Doctor's upcoming regeneration?

Review: The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water

It's 7:15 at night. The sun has been below the horizon for quite some time, but it is not yet my bedtime. I go to the cashier and ask her if they are showing my movie. She gives me a puzzled look, checks the queue, and luckily finds the tickets I am looking for. After asking my age she assures me that I have nothing to be ashamed about, nothing to fear. I then pass through the doors and embark on a journey I have been waiting for more than a decade to begin. Back in 2004 Nickelodeon, Stephen Hillenburg, & company released the very first feature film of the SpongeBob Squarepants franchise: The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie . The cartoon had been around for less than five years at the time, and many people did not expect much from its box office release. However, it did do very well for a television cartoon movie grossing more than $32 million opening weekend and receiving average scores of 66/100. This might sound mediocre compared to Oscar winning films, but this is incredib...

A New Leaf

Hello everybody; it's been a while. With school, work, and my extracurricular activities, I haven't had as much time as I would have wanted to spend writing. In the two years since I've last posted, I was vice president, president, and varsity captain for my high school's Academic Decathlon team, went to the California state Academic Decathlon competition twice, was a student commissioner for my city's Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission, a speech coach for Chinese students learning English, earned my Eagle Scout rank, and was accepted into my dream school, the University of California San Diego. With that in mind, I'm also about to graduate high school. I wasn't the speaker that my high school teachers were looking for as graduation speaker, but I thought it would be remiss if I did not say anything. My original speech would seem a bit out of context as an article, so this is a slightly abridged version. "Throughout my high school career, this...

Qualcomm debuts Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 processor

Earlier today, Qualcomm unveiled their new Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 processor on their developer tablet in San Francisco. This processor is the successor to the S4 processor that we see on many of today's flagship mobile devices (ex. HTC One X, American Samsung Galaxy S III's, HTC One S, Motorola Atrix HD, etc.), and is one of the greatest mobile chipsets on the market. Based on the scores we have seen from Engadget , this new processor seems amazingly fast. This new processor blows away the competition and beats every other mobile device you could imagine in every single benchmark category. This processor is like a Bugatti Veyron drag racing against a Smart Car. We can not explain how much faster this device is compared to the devices that are out right now. This new processor leaves every single top mobile product in the dust. The Snapdragon S4 Pro beats the AT&T HTC One X, all of the Samsung Galaxy S III's, the Nexus 7, the international HTC One X, and probably ...
