Hello, good citizens of Earth. It’s me, Adam, with another review for you. Once more, I’ve skimmed the edges of my deadline to bring you the most recent movie possible.
Teen Talk: On the Go: Memories of Easter give warm feelings
"If joy were a color, it would be purple pastel pretty, like old women and young children both wear on Easter, smiling while having deviled eggs and drinking Kool-Aid. Chasing blown bubbles in the backyard, the young ones' distracting hats fly off."

Teen Talk: Weekend reviews: 'Jumper' worthy of praise
Welcome to the Ides of March. Since we've had a few "off-beat" columns recently, I figured I'd return to a little bit of normalcy. This month, we'll be taking on the movie "Jumper," along with the novel "The Walking," by Bentley Little.

So the political scene this year demands our attention, yet the spinning sensation sometimes takes over. With candidates promoting themselves earlier than necessary this year, some of us may already feel bored or tired of hearing about the race for the presidency even before we dive into the facts and research for ourselves.
Teen Talk: Teenhood Today: Elections more than horse race
Like most people, I have a secret wish. It burns deep within my being like some clandestine fiery madness; it gnaws at my soul. It is the wish that someone will in my lifetime take footage from the 2008 presidential nominations race and narrate it in Kentucky Derby-commentator style.
Teen Talk: Check with Chad: Look carefully at his future
I am constantly fighting with my parents; I like this guy and they don't approve of him. They don't like him because he is not planning on going to a college after he gets out of high school.
Teen Talk: On the go: Differences in language add fun to vacations
"Oh!, there go the 'Po Po'!"
"The what?"
"You know, the 'Po Po,' the police."
