Note: portions of this review originally appeared in March, 2009. It’s an absolute travesty that The Spectacular Spider-Man animated series has been canceled in favor of an Ultimate spider-Man reboot. Remember when we, as fans, compared the live action 90’s Batman movies to the Batman animated series, and the movie, Mask of the Phantasm, and […]
Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future is a 1987-88 sci-fi/action television series that ran for 22 episodes in Canadian/American syndication. A toy line was also produced by Mattel, and during each episode there was a segment that included visual and audio material which interacted with the toys. Christmas of 1987 was ALL ABOUT […]
Every time I think of ALF, the furry little bastard who took the world by storm back in the last 80’s, I think of the Ben Stiller movie Permanent Midnight, about television writer Jerry Stahl, who was on drugs while working on the show. Weird movie. Anyway, this week for Good Old Days, at the […]
Revealed today on DC’s Source Blog is a peek at some test footage put together for a potential Blue Beetle live action series, and I have to say…it looks pretty sweet. According to Geoff Johns, I feel very fortunate to have been a part of Blue Beetle’s introduction way back in INFINITE CRISIS. I’ve said […]
Last Thursday, the second season finale of the television show Fringe, “Over There, Part 2,” aired, a rare extended adventure into the alternate universe that Fringe has only briefly given us glimpses of until this point. Fringe is one of those rare shows where the mythology episodes seem to outshine the “monster of the week” […]
Source: AICN Okay, so apparently one superhero show isn’t enough to fill the void left by Heroes being canceled (not that any of us watched it anymore anyway). In addition to The Cape (check out the trailer for that one here), ABC is throwing their hat in the ring with No Ordinary Family, which kind […]
I can’t decide if this looks really good or really stupid. Costumes typically don’t work well on television, but there are certain thigns about this I like. Still…why create a new hero when there are so many better ones out there to choose from? Oh well…Either way, I’m sure I’m on for the first episode. […]
The ninth season finale of Smallville aired on Friday, concluding a very odd season of the long-running television show. Though this season introduced us to the first live-action appearances of many DC characters, it also focused mainly on the relationship between Clark Kent and a newly resurrected group of Kandorians, led by Zod. We met […]
I know it’s not Saturday, but, as long time readers will remember, we did actually have a column called Supernatural Saturdays for a little while! Last night, the fifth season finale of Supernatural aired and as reports have stated, for all intents and purposes, was originally written in mind as a series finale, until the […]
I’ve spoken before about Syfy’s upcoming reinvention of The Phantom, and, even though I didn’t dig the concept designs for the costume, I have to admit that, after seeing the trailer, the mini-series, premiering June 20th on SyFy Channel, looked pretty decent. In fact, I found it very Batman Beyond-ish. Having been given the chance […]
