Dr. Who Season 6 Episode 8 ‘Let’s Kill Hitler’ Review

August 28, 2011

I was a little apprehensive about the mid-season premiere of Doctor Who. Not for the reasons a lot of critics were (concerned about The Doctor assisting Hitler or something like that), but rather because Season 5 and the first half of Season… Read More

Torchwood: Miracle Day Episode 8 ‘End of the Road’ Review

August 28, 2011

The abbreviated introduction of modern day Angelo started out very disappointing. His character and relationship with Jack was set up for an entire episode, and the next time we see him he’s a 100-year old vegetable. Surprisingly,… Read More

Breaking Bad Episode 406 ‘Cornered’ Review

August 25, 2011

AMC delivered another good episode from Breaking Bad this week, but not nearly up to the level that I’ve become accustomed to this season. There seems to be a conscious continuation of the main arc’s themes, but I found the pacing… Read More

Torchwood: Miracle Day Episode 7 ‘Immortal Sins’ Review

August 21, 2011

Okay, now I feel better. Thanks again, Ms. Espenson. The latest episode of Torchwood: Miracle Day titled ‘Immortal Sins’ SCREAMS Torchwood in so many ways. Time travel, aliens, last minute saves. At the heart of it all there’s… Read More

Blu-ray Reviews Reviews

August 18, 2011

One would be hard-pressed to find a more beloved movie from the 90's than Swingers. Produced on a shoestring budget, the film made quite an impact on the culture and dialogue of the time. It also single-handedly launched the careers… Read More

Breaking Bad Episode 405 ‘Shotgun’ Review

August 17, 2011

When you look back at history and the downfall of powerful men, it is almost always one of three things that are the catalyst: Women, Pride, or Bookkeeping. In this case, Mr. White, two out of three is REALLY bad. The latest episode of Breaking… Read More
