Ponderings For 2007-12-31
Happy New Year! Here’s a very cool new teaser promo for season 4 of Battlestar Speaking of Battlestar, there’s finally some actual info (and artwork even) for the delayed release of the season 3 DVD set. Here’s a semi-techie article about the death of high …

Hitman (6/10)
A fairly run-of-the-mill action movie with a few unique aspects. The Russian surroundings give it a welcome, different flavor. And the under appreciated Timothy Olyphant helps boost the otherwise stale goings on. Writing: Not a lot to praise here. Most of it is fairly obvious, …

Hope y’all had a merry Christmas Aaaack! How did I miss this news? Today’s brand new Christmas special of Doctor Who featured a dedication in memory of Verity Lambert. Somehow, I missed seeing the news of her passing last month. It’s a name most any …

National Treasure: Book Of Secrets (9/10)
This sequel effortlessly recaptures the goofy magic of the first film. I’m a bit of a sucker for these kinds of adventure films, of which the National Treasure films are nice modern entries (along side others like the fun Sahara). Writing: The goal of writing …

Charlie Wilson’s War (9/10)
You know, I’d really like to give this movie a 10 out of 10, but it’s not QUITE there for me. Stranger still, I’m not sure why. Writing: Frankly, I’m quite curious as to how historically accurate this script is. As twisted and insane as …

OK, time to do another HD disc rant. This time the target is HD-DVD. More specifically, it’s the HD-DVD/DVD combo format. I got my third defective combo format disc yesterday (Mr. Bean’s Holiday), following up my other recent one (Bourne Ultimatum) and the first one …

Son of a…… So Universal didn’t stop releasing Sliders on DVD after the 3rd season release in 2005 after all. They’ve suddenly announced the pending release of season 4. Excellent. Now, if only Sony would release the second (and last) season of Ned & Stacey, …
