Tombstone Lives on Blu-ray
The number of times the gunfight at the O.K. Corral has been depicted in various forms of media is certainly not a small one. The fight may be the best known showdown in the Old West, and, like so much… Read More ›
It’s Complicated, but Perhaps not as Much as it Should be

Praising FlashForward’s Look at Demetri’s March 15th
I complain (a lot) when things are bad on a television show; I speak up and shout and point fingers… loudly. Consequently, when a show I've watched but found grossly disappointing does something right I feel myself obligated to speak… Read More ›
ABC’s Romantically Challenged – We’ll Pass
Sometimes after sitting and watching a new television show I need a day or two to process my thoughts – was what I just witnessed as bad as I think it was, is it going to grow on me, did… Read More ›
The US Version of Top Gear is Coming!

Glee: The Power of Madonna and Guest Stars
At what point did Glee became such must-watch viewing for me? At what point did the show go from one I was very middling about – and was even considering not watching over the summer – to one whose new… Read More ›
Monster Buck Hunter – More Buck Hunting than Monster Hunting
To some out there the thought of the release of another of Cabela's hunting games will seem completely ludicrous. After all, how many games do you need to have where you go out and shoot deer, birds, and various other… Read More ›
Fight on: Final Fight: Double Impact
There was a point in time when side-scrollers were huge. Every other game you would see in an arcade or on a home system was some sort of side-scrolling, button-mashing action game. They ranged from the generic to the exceptional,… Read More ›
Sushi Go-Round Comes Round Again
Web-based casual games are incredibly popular, and that makes complete sense. Here are quick little games that you can play for a few minutes and then turn off when the boss comes by to check up on you. They are… Read More ›
The Eleventh Doctor Arrives on Doctor Who
Doctor Who has been around in one form or another (or multiple forms at the same time) for over 40 years. Prior to 2010, there have been nine different Doctors, each with their own particular fan base, mythology, attitude, and… Read More ›
Apollo 13 Blasts onto Blu-Ray
There is just something about outer space. It has captured the human consciousness in an amazing way, and although our repeated trips to space seem to garner less and less attention, the notion of actually taking a trip to space… Read More ›
FlashForward – Would Asking for Logic be too Much?
Do you ever sit down and watch a TV show week after week thinking to yourself “no… really… this time it'll be good. I know it, I just know it – this time they'll figure it out and it will… Read More ›
Desmond, Lost, a Return, a Theory, and Ramblings
We're talking about last night's Lost episode today, so if you haven't seen it you probably don't want to read anymore because there'll be information given out here that will be spoiler-ish. While that ought to be obvious with my… Read More ›
Chuck Keeps Changing, Will we be Left Behind?
I am worried about Chuck. Not so much Chuck (although I do worry about him too), but about Chuck. It's not that I don't think this season has been fantastically wonderful and amusing and that I haven't liked all the… Read More ›

Ruling on The Marriage Ref
Just a quick-ish thought this Friday morning – The Marriage Ref upsets me. I've had trouble working out exactly why it is that the show upsets me, but after some serious study of the matter I've put together some reasons…. Read More ›
Cable On Demand, Netflix, Amazon on Demand – VOD Options Abound
