An All-New Alice (2009)
The channel formerly known as SciFi and now known as Syfy is delivering their latest miniseries this week. Entitled Alice, the four-hour adventure is something of a re-imagining of Lewis Carroll's classic Wonderland tales. Both fun and distinctly odd at… Read More ›

Dragon Ball: Raging Blast Lacks Rage and Blast
One of the best things about 3D (or 2D) fighters is the fighting. Nice environments, good graphics, great sound, and a decent story are all nice, but the actual fight mechanics are the most important thing. Thus, when one plays… Read More ›
The Who Dr. Seuss’ Horton Heard Heads to Blu-ray with the Elephant Riding Shotgun

A Charlie Brown Christmas hits Blu-ray

Godzilla (1998) Takes Manhattan
One can't slam a monster movie for being silly – there is something inherently silly about a giant monster lumbering through a city destroying things. Yet, in the most basic sense, Roland Emmerich (writer/director) and Dean Devlin's (writer/producer) reimagining of… Read More ›

Crossing the Line or Just Looking at it – Last Night’s The Amazing Race
There's a line one shouldn't cross when going on reality television. Cross the line and everyone (at home and the people you're playing against) will hate you, don't cross the line and you may end up going home. The only… Read More ›
Longing for Sitcoms

Three Times the Kevin Smith Comes to Blu-ray
It would probably be wrong to say that Kevin Smith speaks for my generation. He certainly has, as his production company name tells us, a View Askew, and that means that we'd all have to have the same sort of… Read More ›
Everything Old is New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Sometimes reinventing the wheel isn't necessary. Sometimes just giving the wheel a nice spit-and-polish is all that is needed to make the wheel seem shiny and new and tons of fun. As old as the wheel might be, even if… Read More ›
Going out with Rabbids Go Home
Rabbids, originally introduced in the Rayman series of videogames, are, essentially demented little anthropomorphic rabbits.

Getting Happy with Glee
How good was Artie's “Dancing with Myself” last night on Glee? No, it wasn't good, it was great, wasn't it? It was a great use of a song, it was well sung, and then they're repeating the song when everyone… Read More ›

Hitching a Ride with The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009)
Just because a film is a remake – or perhaps a movie based on a book that was already made into a movie – doesn't mean the film is destined to fail. To be less cryptic, The Taking of Pelham… Read More ›
