Top 15 Doctor Who Companions
As most any of you who know me are aware, I’m a big Doctor Who fan. I grew up watching the series on PBS. I’ve been totally loving the new resurgence of the show. Well, I was reading the newest issue of SFX magazine while …

Ponderings For 2008-05-27
Holy cow. Talk about an action figure. I stopped using Monster Cables a number of years ago when they became ridiculously overpriced. These days I wouldn’t use them for free, what with all their unbelievable retarded law suits. With that in mind, here’s yet ANOTHER …

Ponderings For 2008-05-26
RIP: Sydney Pollack RIP: Dick Martin (where’s the third?) After a second viewing of the new Indiana Jones movie, I’ve bumped my review down ever-so-slightly to a 9 out of 10. It has a few definite problems, but I still very much enjoyed it the …

Ponderings For 2008-05-23
Surprising praise goes to Sony Home Entertainment for their DVD release this week of Square Pegs. As a vaguely remembered show from the early 80′s (one of the first to have that TRUE 80′s feel), it’s one of those surprises to see get a DVD …

The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian (7/10)
While I generally enjoyed this second entry in the Narnia franchise, I definitely found it weaker than the first installment. Featuring some world class visual effects work and solid production design, the story comes through as little more than functional. Writing: I read at least …

Ponderings For 2008-05-19
My review for Prince Caspian should be posted within the next day. In short, I liked it. I’ll try to get my review of the midnight screening of Indy 4 posted late Wednesday/early Thursday. Cover and specs for the new 10th anniversary special edition release …

The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated…
Lack of posts is primarily due to the fact that I’ve been bringing my machine at the house back up to speed after a fresh rebuild following some upgrades to the hardware. Posts shall begin again in earnest in the next day or so.

Speed Racer (10/10)
I just got back from a midnight opening screening of Speed Racer, as presented in shiny, glorious IMAX form. I’m a big supporter of the IMAX format, but would it kill them to change their little format demo that plays before each IMAX film one …
