Movie Review-Greenberg
 Roger Greenberg (Ben Stiller), the title character of this odd yet poignant movie, is the antithesis of the movie hero. He is an angry, depressed, insecure, and neurotic 40-year-old curmudgeon. He makes ends meet as a part-time carpenter and vents his frustrations by writing complaint letters to American Airlines, the New York Times, Mayor Bloomberg, Starbucks and the Yellow Pages. He wants to do nothing else with his life.Click here to read more.
Gaming Review-Just Cause 2
 An author with a unexceptional career is surprisingly hired to complete the manuscript of a retired British Prime Minister’s memoirs. What looks to be a surefire bonanza for the spirited, confident young scribe, $250,000 for four weeks work, soon becomes a more demanding — and more dangerous — task.

The Record is the online newspaper of the RVCC community, designed, produced and written by students. With a focus on RVCC news, profiles, features and opinions, we publish regularly throughout the semester. Publishing online enables us to present material in a variety of formats, including print, photo gallery, audio and video.
To put out a quality newspaper requires many student volunteers: web designers and production people, reporters, writers, photographers, videographers, and even advertising reps.
If you would like to be part of The Record club, send us an e-mail. We meet Wednesday, 4:30-8:20 p.m. in cafeteria upstairs, but you don't have to be available during that time to be a part of the team.
Got a news tip, story or upcoming event you think the RVCC community ought to know about,
