The Corsair is the student press at Pensacola State College.
Fast Five Review
RANDALL WILLIAMS – The Corsair By Universal Pictures PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, sexual content and language. Well, the boys who love the racing thrill are back in this fifth iteration of the infamous series; and this one stands to possibly be the best film to come from it.

Portal and Portal 2
WADE MANNS – The Corsair By Valve Software Genre: First-person puzzler There haven’t been too many really, really original science fiction stories lately. Even fewer which put YOU, the reader (or in this case, the player character), in as the protagonist.

One year later – Gulf oil spill revisited

Giger, which sets my heart pounding and adrenaline flowing when I watch the movies or play the games,...

Butler – lucky or good?
TIM AJMANI – The Corsair So the college basketball season is over. March Madness provided us with rare performances, amazing finishes, and an unforgettable 10-0 run to a national championship. No one can tell me (except perhaps UConn fans) that they were rooting against Butler in the title game. For two years in a row, Butler has run its train...
