Now Streaming: Another Life

Josh Zyber — Thu, 01 Aug 2019 12:00:58 +0000

Former Battlestar Galactica star Katee Sackhoff returns to duty in space for Netflix’s new sci-fi drama Another Life. I wish she could have brought some of that prior show’s good writing with her. The premise of the series is basically Arrival meets Lost in Space with a fair amount of Event Horizon and a lot...

‘The Flash’ 4.21 Recap: “You Got Me a Council of Rejects”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 10 May 2018 12:00:48 +0000

Guest star Katee Sackhoff returns to ‘The Flash’ this week. So do Tom Cavanagh, Tom Cavanagh, and Tom Cavanagh. Yes, the Council of Wells is back, now with even more exaggerated stereotypes. Unable to find a solution to his diminishing intellect, Harry attempts to consult the smartest people he knows – other Harrison Wellses from...

‘The Flash’ 4.13 Recap: “Orange Is Not the New Anything”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 08 Feb 2018 13:00:08 +0000

The Barry-in-prison storyline was largely sidelined on ‘The Flash’ for the past couple of episodes to focus on other meta-human cases. It’s back front-and-center this week, which means you should brace yourself for a lot more mopiness and whining. I notice that Barry has grown a mustache and stubble beard while biding his time behind...

‘The Flash’ 4.09 Recap: “Your Tinsel to Surface Ratio Is Terrible”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 07 Dec 2017 13:00:38 +0000

The big fall crossover event is over and, aside from an acknowledgement that Barry and Iris got married, ‘The Flash’ returns to pretty much exactly where it left off beforehand, as if space Nazis hadn’t just destroyed half of Central City. I suppose that’s to be expected, but it’s hard to take a goofy villain...

‘The Flash’ 4.05 Recap: “That’s Not How Feminism Works”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 09 Nov 2017 13:00:27 +0000

It looks Ralph Dibny, the elongated meta-human without an official nickname confirmed by the show yet, is going to be part of ‘The Flash’ for a while. To balance out adding a sexist ass to the team, this week’s episode focuses on letting the ladies be heroes. It’s time for Iris’ bachelorette party, and Felicity...

‘Oculus’ Review: Who’s the Scariest of Them All?

Philip Brown — Wed, 16 Apr 2014 16:00:36 +0000

‘Oculus’ is one of those rare contemporary horror flicks that derives its scares primarily out of clever plotting and ideas. On top of that, it’s also a rare contemporary haunted house movie that doesn’t balk at an R-rating. In other words, imperfect though it might be, this just might be the horror movie you’ve been...

Now Playing: ‘Riddick’-ulous

Luke Hickman — Fri, 06 Sep 2013 13:00:22 +0000

The way I see it, there are three types of people who will want to see ‘Riddick’ this weekend: 1) those who enjoy the established character and want to see more, 2) those who like Vin Diesel and his ‘Fast and Furious’ movies, and 3) the pervy ‘Battlestar Galactica’ geeks who want to see the...

‘Longmire’ 1.03 Recap: “Man of Few Words, I Know the Type”

Josh Zyber — Thu, 21 Jun 2012 13:00:40 +0000

How did I miss the premiere of A&E’s new Western/police drama ‘Longmire’ a couple weeks ago? I’m supposed to be paying attention to and seeking out interesting new TV shows. I guess that I’m just not currently watching anything else on that network, and never came across any ads for the series until I happened...

Captain’s Blog: Calgary Expo Day 2 – Freddy’s Revenge

Tom Landy — Wed, 16 May 2012 19:00:57 +0000

After my hectic first day at the Calgary Expo, I figured that Saturday would have to be much smoother sailing. Boy, was I wrong. In fact, the media pass fiasco was merely a bad dream compared to the full blown nightmare that swept through the con by mid-afternoon on Day 2. The day actually started...

Captain’s Blog: Calgary Expo Day 1 – Media Circus

Tom Landy — Tue, 15 May 2012 19:00:51 +0000

The 2012 Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo has come and gone. Legions of fans came to celebrate the 25th anniversary of ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation’ and meet the entire cast of the classic television series, but to say that the event was embroiled in chaos and confusion would be an understatement indeed. I arrived...
