Rethinking Alex O’Loughlin and Looking at Some TV Pilots
About a week ago I wrote an article about the upcoming Fall television shows which intrigued me and what I was planning to put on my TiVo list. I have now had the opportunity to sit down and watch several… Read More ›
My Desire to see Games and ISPs Play Nice
Often when I finish reviewing a game it marks one of the last times I’ll ever pick the title up again – not always, but often. If I do play the game again, rarely does it find its way into… Read More ›
Top Gear – Season Five, Alive
About a month and a half ago (maybe a little more, but I’m not sure why that would be relevant) I sat on an airplane listening to two individuals behind me discussing their problem with BBC America. They said that… Read More ›
Sorting out my Fall 2010 TV Schedule
As I do every summer, recently I sat down and thought exceptionally hard about what I’ll be watching this fall. Listen, I know it’s only the end of July, but this is one of those things that just won’t wait,… Read More ›
2010’s Clash of the Titans and the Quest for Good Movies
While the 1981 version of Clash of the Titans has developed a cult following and its share of admirers, it is not the greatest of movies. It has a lot going for it, including a good cast and Ray Harryhausen’s unique… Read More ›
Doctor Who Learns all About "The Time Monster"
The Gallifreyan Time Lord known as The Doctor, as the currently on television Doctor Who season finale will attest, has many an enemy. There are the Cybermen and the Daleks and the Sontarans, to name a few. Perhaps though there… Read More ›
James May’s Toy Stories – Because Who Doesn’t Want to Build a Real Bridge out of Toys
James May has always seemed something like the odd man out on Top Gear. It’s not that he doesn’t belong on the series — in fact I think that the three men they have as hosts complement each other perfectly… Read More ›
Rizzoli & Isles
A cross-country drive has delayed this review, but here you have it (and before episode two!) Looking at the promotional artwork for TNT’s newest original drama, Rizzoli & Isles, one gets the impression that the series, while focusing on murders… Read More ›
Doctor Who – Revisiting Christopher Eccleston’s Doctor
Every summer I do my best to find some new old show to watch… well, something that's old but new to me. A couple of years ago I watched every episode of House, a couple of years before that every… Read More ›
Feeling out the Memphis Beat
For too long Jason Lee was stuck playing the hapless wannabe do-gooder Earl Hickey on My Name is Earl. Although that show's final season was certainly funnier than the one which preceded it, it did feel as though almost all… Read More ›
Does Hawthorne Require Medical Attention?
There are few real directions, it seems, in which a hospital-based show can take. It almost goes without saying that every hospital on every television show finds itself strapped for cash (or that a hospital administrator will at some point… Read More ›
That’s Right, I’m Watching Both Happy Town & Persons Unknown
I do these things to myself, I understand that. I started watching Happy Town, got a full three episodes into it before the first episode actually was on air, and liked it. I liked it despite being quite convinced that… Read More ›
100 Classic Books or The Nintendo DSi’s E-Reader Envy
It seems as though everyone wants to get their feet wet in the e-book game these days. Prior to the release of it latest handheld system, the DSi XL, earlier this year, Nintendo announced that a title would be released… Read More ›
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid in Blu-ray-livia
Opinions change with time – that which is viewed as brilliant today may be viewed as wholly trite and/or indescribably horrid tomorrow. The opposite is also true – that which is viewed with derision at one point later very well… Read More ›
Tetris Comes Around Again
On June 6, 2010 the puzzle game Tetris celebrated its 26th birthday. Yes, it may be hard to believe, but those little annoying shapes have been bugging casual and hardcore gamers alike for the past 26 years. Tetris has been… Read More ›
Playing 18 with Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11
Sitting down to play Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 on the Nintendo Wii is a whole lot like visiting someone who used to be a close friend but you've fallen out of touch with despite only living a mile apart…. Read More ›
Contemplating the Glee Finale
It would make for the perfect script, wouldn't it? Over the course of a television season going from unconvinced to semi-convinced to slightly disheartened to totally in love – it all sounds just like an executive in Hollywood would have… Read More ›
Racing Past in a Blur
There are two basic ways a racing game can go – arcade or realistic. Activision's new Blur, from the moment you first pop it in to your console, is most definitely the former not the latter. Everything about the game… Read More ›
Caddyshack – Still Alright After all These Years
One would be hard-pressed to state that Harold Ramis' debut directorial effort, Caddyshack, is the comedic equivalent of Citizen Kane. The story is weak, working best as comedic scenes rather than a film as a whole, and the basic “snobs… Read More ›
