X-Men 101: #101 - RERUNS
Issues of Uncanny X-Men #67-93 were actually reprints. It was decided at Marvel that the X-Men sold well enough to continue selling the comic, but they couldn't afford to pay for original stories.

X-Men 101: #97 - MUTANT X
After a member of Havok's X-Factor team, Greystone, develops temporal insanity, he attempts to build a time machine to return to his timeline and be reunited with his mother. Havok attempts to stop him, but the machine explodes, supposedly killing both men. However, at the instant of his death, another Havok from an alternate reality also dies after being shot in the chest by a Sentinel. Somehow, Havok's spirit finds its way into his counterpart's body and he wakes up in the Mutant X Universe. Here, he is the leader of a mutant team of heroes dubbed The Six, which consists of Bloodstorm (Storm), Brute (Beast), Fallen (Archangel), Ice-Man (Iceman) and the Goblyn Queen (Madelyne Pryor).
The series lasted for 32 issues and three annuals before it ended and Alex Summers' consciousness was returned to his proper body.

Flick2 Movie Review: Let Me In
I'll start by saying that on my way to the theatre I was told by 2 employees that this movie was terrible, so much to my excitement, I wanted to know why. Well, the joke's on you ladies, because this movie was great. (Must have gone over your head, allow me to explain...)
Let Me In is an endearing love story that can be paralleled with the classical Romeo and Juliet. Two souls who find that they love each other can't be with one another. It's a classic tale. Just add in the fact that Juliet is a vampire and that the main characters are twelve and we are in business. The plot was interesting too. It dealt with a descent size cast but I never felt lost as to where the story was going, but was surprised at some twists and turns the story took.
The movie also stayed true to vampire folklore which was a pleasant surprise (vampires actually burst into a consuming hellfire when they reach sunlight, no sparkles here ladies) and they must ask to enter your home or risk death.

X-Men 101: #83 - IN THE OVEN
Dazzler was pregnant with Longshot's child. It's been speculated the child will grow up to become the former X-Force member Shatterstar. Dazzler's pregnancy has not been mentioned since in the comics; the child may have been born and never seen by the readers, although evidence suggests that Dazzler may have had a miscarriage, though it has not been established officially what became of the infant.

Flick2 Movie Review: Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole
Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole was a brilliant movie. I went into the theatre with the mindset, "Okay, I'm gonna watch this owl movie, looks pretty cool by the trailer. I just hope this isn't Happy Feet. I hated Happy Feet." I stepped into the IMAX theatre and I was blown away. This was no ordinary owl movie. Instead, I got an epic action/adventure story that felt like 300 and Lord of the Rings combined, but with owls. And much to my surprise, when the credits came along, I noticed that it was directed by Zack Snyder, the famed director of 300.
This movie, on top of being visually stunning to watch with its amazingly lifelike movement, great rendered 3D, and slow motion action scenes, had a great story. The epic follows the young owl Soren, voiced by Jim Sturgess, as he searches for the Guardians of Ga'Hoole and makes some interesting friends along the way. I just reread that line and it sounds like a Disney channel made for TV movie but believe me, its far from that. I don't want to give away anything about this movie except that its worth it to watch, especially in the IMAX. You will be amazed and truly enjoy the experience.
Also, as an added bonus, much like the Disney movies have been doing, there is a cartoon before the movie. You get this nicely CG rendered cartoon of Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner. This was also in 3D and was very entertaining. I wouldn't be surprised to see more of these making their way to the beginnings of more Warner Brothers movies.

X-Men 101: #79 - X-REUNION
Except for their brief appearance in Giant-Size X-Men #1, it had been 21 years in real time (1970-1991) since the original five X-Men were all X-Men together. They rejoined at the request of Professor X after the Shadow King shattered his legs, after they'd been starring in X-Factor.

X-Men 101: #78 - DARK BIRTHDAYS
New Mutant Magik didn't grow up on Earth. She was taken to Limbo as a child by the demon Belasco and raised around bizarre demons and Limbo-versions of the X-Men. She returned to Earth the moment she was abducted, but now with demonic knowledge and seven years older.
