Satire: Death metal band takes responsibility for shooting

By By Poppius McGee, Red Pulse Contributor September 25, 2008

A young man named Matti Juhani Saari shot and killed ten of his classmates Tuesday at a vocational school in Kauhajoki, a small town in western Finland. Public outrage and disbelief were immediate nationwide, but a more sober and troubling question lurked beneath the surface: what could have driven an otherwise well-adjusted young adult to turn a weapon on his classmates?

Rookie fumbles Eagle Eye

By By Trevor Hale, Red Pulse Editor September 25, 2008

"Eagle Eye" is an entertaining popcorn flick for about two-thirds of the running time, but the plot veers off in the direction of the ridiculous toward the end.

Documentary strikes delicate balance

By By Trevor Hale, Red Pulse Editor September 25, 2008

Director James Marsh has crafted an extremely entertaining film that, at times, almost forgets it's a documentary. Full of humor, suspense, drama and everything else that makes for an amazing story, the movie mostly benefits from Petit. The glow and excitement he shows when he thinks back to that day almost 35 years ago is enough to make anyone believe he's just a man that lives for the chance to perform.
