You know what’s great about Star Trek? Patrick Stewart’s voice at the beginning of every Star Trek Next Generation episode. But other than Patrick Stewart (as if we needed anything else), it does what all good sci-fi series, movies and franchises do when it comes to the lady folk- It makes them tough. There are…
Animated shows have a subjective hierarchy. When Fox lines up hours of television dedicated to “Animation Domination” (including some, shockingly not created by Seth MacFarlane), choices for cartoon chuckles are numerous. But how do you rate the big names? Are you a South Park supporter, or do you prefer probably-past-its-prime Family Guy? Futurama: The End…
Stop me if this sounds familiar: Thing comes into existence. Thing gathers more fans and snowballs in popularity. People start to become actively angry that this thing is becoming popular, which then grows in direct proportion to the popularity of the thing. This is happening with The Big Bang Theory, a show watched by upwards…
The “Whose Line is it Anyway?” Reboot starting airing last month on the CW Network. Thanks to the power of the internet I’ve been able to catch up on the new version of what is one of my favorite shows of all time. The original US version ran for an impressive 8 seasons, clocking in…
Directed By: Neill Blomkamp Cast: Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley, Alice Braga, Diego Luna, Wagner Moura, William Fichtner Elysium – Review After the horror that was Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters, I went on a quest to find a movie that had memorable characters and electrifying action. I found it with Elysium. Elysium is…
Director: Thor Freudenthal. Cast: Logan Lerman, Alexandra Daddario, Douglas Smith, Leven Rambin, Brandon T. Jackson, Jake Abel. Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters – Review In every summer movie season, there has to be at least one dud. Unfortunately, that dud is Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters. Before I completely rip this movie a new one,…
‘Preacher’ and’ The Boys’ are two graphic novels from the immeasurably talented Garth Ennis. The latter ended recently (2012) while Preacher is a product of the 90s. The weight of the decade between the two is evident: the world has changed dramatically between their publication. Both series are love letters to the USA, but in…
The trailer for the forth season of The Walking Dead is out, and I am excited. It looks like we’ll have more side-characters for the zombies to munch on; a change of location; and Tyreese might actually get a few lines. But beyond the visceral, ponderous madness that is the show, I have a problem….
They are coming for you. You cannot escape them. Everyone is aware of them. They may have even taken hold of your loved ones already. We Love the Apocalypse! (But, Why?) I’m talking of course about post-apocalyptic movies. Previous years have seen a plague descending upon our theaters, and 2013 was no different. Blowing up…

But also hidden there is the light of reason that can lead us to the dawn.” –…
The Avatar movie was already getting 2 sequels. Now, it will get one more. Director James Cameron and 20th Century Fox have announced that the Avatar franchise will now be made into a quadrilogy. Avatar 2, 3 and 4. Avatar heavily influenced the movie industry upon its release in 2009 – with its great usage…
I think that we can agree that the Internet was not short from imploding or spontaneous combustion when we all heard the news that Doctor Who star Matt Smith would be departing before the show’s eighth season. And then came the predictions. In between all of the lamenting and criticism were various names of actors that…
It happens fairly often. You’re watching a show, minding your own business, and someone with that face comes on screen. You know you’ve seen them before. They were in that show, with that plot, and those other actors. You know the one. Right? You might be thinking of one of TV’s most underrated stars: Gina…
Reviewing The World’s End (the end result you can read here, shameless plug) felt a bit like saying goodbye. Knowing that this was the last of the breed, that we’d never see another film of exactly this ilk again was slightly bittersweet. Or would we see another film like this? I’ll deal with that later….
Adventure Time 2013 Summer Special is just that, a bumper sized comic book annual containing four separate stories by four separate writers. But can such a diverse group of comic book writers and artists capture the charm of the Adventure Time television series? And is it worth picking up for a lazy, summertime read? Geek…
