Hallelujah! I’m Going to Comic Con – Canada Style!

Hallelujah! I’m Going to Comic Con – Canada Style!

This coming weekend, Central Canada Comic Con kicks off here in Winnipeg, Manitoba. That’s three days of gaming, geeks dressed as their favorite superheroes and anime characters, and a wide variety of celebrity guests. This year is a particularly big deal, since it celebrates 45 years of ‘Star Trek’! Trekkie prayers everywhere seem to have been answered, as stars from four of the five series (all except ‘Enterprise’) will be on hand. And the main draw? The Shat!

‘Terra Nova’ 1.05 Recap: “You Don’t Want to Be on the Wrong Side of History”

‘Terra Nova’ 1.05 Recap: “You Don’t Want to Be on the Wrong Side of History”

Honestly, at this point, I think that I continue to watch ‘Terra Nova’ primarily because I enjoy mocking it. It’s a very easy show to mock – especially after the recent revelation that the soldiers in the series carry Nerf rifles. Oof. While this week’s episode is actually a marginal improvement over that stinker from last week, it still has plenty of foolishness and general lameosity.

‘Sunny’ 7.05 Recap: “I Choose Drugs”

‘Sunny’ 7.05 Recap: “I Choose Drugs”

I know plenty of ‘Sunny’ fans who deem the Season 4 episode ‘The Gang Cracks the Liberty Bell’ to be one of the show’s all-time funniest, but for me, the Gang’s period piece is one of my least favorite episodes. ‘Sunny’ took another shot at the flashback formula last week with ‘Frank’s Brother’, and just like ‘Liberty Bell’, it doesn’t work for me.

‘Zombieland’ Headed to the Small Screen

‘Zombieland’ Headed to the Small Screen

More and more movies are making their way to the small screen – and not just in syndication. First we got news of a ‘Source Code’ TV series, and now ‘Zombieland’ is getting the small-screen treatment as well. Much like the ‘Source Code’ series, ‘Zombieland’ will be brought to television by one of the film’s producers. But ‘Zombieland has a one-up on ‘Source Code’ – the writing partners who penned the ‘Zombieland’ movie are on board too.

‘Modern Family’ 3.05 Recap: “I Want to Be the One to Push You Off the Cliff”

‘Modern Family’ 3.05 Recap: “I Want to Be the One to Push You Off the Cliff”

I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, but it never does. Season 2 of ‘Modern Family’ was really hit and miss for me, but we’re five episodes into the third and, while there have been some underwhelming episodes, there’s nothing that I’d consider even close to bad. Continue Reading

‘The Walking Dead’ 2.01 Recap: “It’s All About Slim Chances Now”

‘The Walking Dead’ 2.01 Recap: “It’s All About Slim Chances Now”

The ‘Walking Dead’ has returned, but with the departure of producer Frank Darabont, will the series live up to the high bar set by last season? That’s the question I had going into Sunday’s Season 2 premiere.

‘Psych’ 6.01 Recap: “Suck It, Hyphens!”

‘Psych’ 6.01 Recap: “Suck It, Hyphens!”

Is ‘Psych’ really starting its sixth season? I can hardly believe that it’s been on the air this long. I mean, I like the series and all, but the concept seems like something that would eventually play itself out. With last week’s new season premiere, is the show finally beginning to feel the weight of its age?

‘American Horror Story’ 1.02 Recap: “Do You Believe in the Devil?”

‘American Horror Story’ 1.02 Recap: “Do You Believe in the Devil?”

I’m almost nervous to proclaim ‘American Horror Story’ my favorite new show of the season. I fear that it’s doomed to sputter out eventually. The question is how soon that will happen. But the pilot episode was sooooo good, and honestly, the second episode is right up there with it.
