Last night, I watched the HBO Film Taking Chance and cried like a baby. A big, man-baby, mind you, but make no mistake – weeping occurred. Seriously, it was like I had watched a marathon of Where The Red Fern Grows, The Yearling, Old Yeller, and Brian’s Song back-to-back without so much as a bathroom […]
Spoilers Ahead… The set up for “Gray Hour” showed F. Murray Abraham-Looking-Guy (I always get Tony Amendola confused with F. Murray Abraham) meeting with Ms. DeWitt (Olivia Williams) to hire one of the Dollhouse operatives for a job with “special requirements.” Given Ms. DeWitt’s concerns regarding the risks and the subsequent scene of Echo (Dushku) […]
A couple of weeks ago, I did a review for Killer Movie, which was a dark comedy about horror films and the real life horror that happens during the filming of one. That film was okay, but it’s hard to pull off that satirical/horror bend without skewing too much one way or the other. Dark […]
Last night’s episode of Battlestar Galactica… well… um… Okay, spoilers after the jump!
SPOILERS AHEAD… It’s been a bit rough watching Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse. The first episode was painful setting up a series that seemed all about the exploitation of young women unawere they were even being abused. Our nausea was transformed to an ick-factor in the second episode, but since we got to see Dushku hand a […]
Some spoilers ahead… Last week, I shared how disturbing I found Joss Whedon’s new series, Dollhouse. I found it to be a show about victimization. Just nauseating, really. The second episode, “The Target,” while certainly an improvement over the first remains awfully creepy. And not that good kind of creepy like Vincent Price. No, the […]
Traveling on business, I’ve been in a hotel all week. Flipping the channels on the in-room-pay-per-view, I observed that Twilight is available. I considered it for a moment… But it’ll appear on my bill… What if my wife found out? Or my boss?!? I’m a lay minister for crying out loud! I could be ruined! […]
Since the show was canceled in 2003, The Wife and I have been itching for Andy Richter Controls the Universe to come to DVD. Andy Richter, former Conan O’Brien sideman, starred in this hysterical sitcom. Richter played a man largely dissatisfied with his life, fancying himself a short story writer, but instead working as a […]
Wil Wheaton was lucky enough to sit in on an advance screening of Zack Snyder’s upcoming film realization of Moore and Gibbons’ Cold War masterpiece, Watchmen. Over on his own blog, Wheaton ends the suspense: It’s the best movie inspired by a graphic novel that I’ve ever seen. It could have gone wrong in a […]
What an unfortunate mess this turned out to be. Spiker has a halfway decent background story for a horror film. Adam and Elizabeth are in love. But someone else loves Elizabeth too, and ends up knocking her up, so she has to marry him. She’s so depressed by this fact (which begs the question as […]
