I could spend hours poking and picking at the things they changed from the comic book continuity I grew up on and loved. I could lament the lack of some of my favorite story bits and the light touch they gave others. I could do all that, but, when it comes to X-Men Origins: Wolverine [...]

This past Sunday, NBC aired the first episode of their new series Kings. It tells the tale of the kingdom of Gilboa, pulled together from beaten and broken territories after the Unification War and built over the course of a generation into one of the most powerful and prosperous kingdoms in the land.

SciFi’s New Reality
November 12, 2008 By Leave a Comment
Over the last two nights, The SciFi Channel has debuted two new reality shows. Why The Science Fiction Channel feels the need to fill its schedule with the same reality show tripe (and professional wrestling) that other networks do, I don’t know. (Well, other than greed.) But they continue to insist on producing these shows. [...]

Genetically engineered terrorists, superscience and heavy doses of corporate sponsorship from Microsoft, Cisco and Intel. That’s what you get from Gemini Division, an online/On Demand series from NBC and Electric Farm Entertainment.

Even if it was from the same guy who gave us Six Feet Under and starred Anna Paquin. Was it going to be a [...]

Just finished Spider-Man 3…

…and, wow am I glad I didn’t see that in the theater! Seriously. They could have had two good movies and, instead, they crammed it all into one kinda crappy one. Pretty, though. In fact, as long as you don’t care about semi-sensible plot, proper character development or actual working story arcs, it’s the perfect [...]
Swingtown Starts With Fireworks
June 10, 2008 By Leave a Comment
After being horribly disappointed by the Thursday night show I actually watched in real time, I was slightly hesitant to queue up Swingtown on the DVR. Very quickly, that hesitation turned to elation. This show could be really good. Yes, sex and swinging was a sizable part of this introductory episode. But it was done [...]
