Soul Fire Rising
The more one bounces around online, the more little interesting things one comes across. This bit of new online series came my way via Kelly Stables Twitter account, most recently recognizable as part of the cast of Romantically Challenged, the very hastily (and unfortunately) canceled sitcom headlined by Alyssa Milano. Stables is a producer on…

Friday the 13th (2009): Just Die Already
To say I didn’t hold out a whole lot of hope for the reboot of the Friday the 13th franchise would only be a slight understatement. I was relatively happy with the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, so seeing the same team involved kept my expectations from being totally negative. There was some small spark of…

New Season: CBS’ Moonlight
Moonlight is the new show about a vampire, living in LA and fighting crime. Don’t confuse it with Angel. Don’t confuse it with Forever Knight. Both of those shows are infinitely superior. Sure, Moonlight has a brooding vampire in it, but Mick St. John has only been around for 90 or so years. He’s painfully…

New Season: The CW’s Reaper
It’s rare to see a comedy that has both high production values and an oxymoronic high-class flavor of lowbrow humor. Reaper is one of those rare shows. Granted, when I first started seeing stuff on it, I thought it would be a cold day in Hell before it turned out to be worthwhile. Seems that…
