DVD: “The Cave”

“The Cave” came out in theaters just last year and bombed. I didn’t even know the film existed, but couldn’t help but put it into my Blockbuster queue.
The premise is simple: A bunch of explorers get trapped in a cave with superpowerful creatures that have one thing on their mind: dinner.
As you can imagine, the [...]

TV: “Supernatural” Makes Top Five Favorite Endangered Shows

I’m not surprised – “Supernatural” has made it to E! Online’s Top Five Favorite Endangered Shows.
Now, readers most vote to pick their one favorite show to be saved. My vote is, of course, for “Supernatural.” Once again, you must follow the simple rules exactly: Email tvdiva@eonline.com with the name of your show in the [...]

DVD: “Spawn” – Yikes!

I caught the Sunday matinee showing of “Spawn” on Fox a few days ago. The 1997 film is, I believe, a comic book rip – a man, killed in a terrible explosion, makes a deal with the devil to lead his army. He is sent back to earth to be reborn as “Spawn,” with all [...]

Save One Show: Both “Invasion” and “Supernatural” on the Fence

It’s not surprising that two of my favorite new sci-fi series, “Invasion” and “Supernatural,” are now on the fence for renewal. “Invasion” has been suffering from ABC’s ridiculous scheduling tactics – it was taken off its time slot for a temporary mid-season replacement, just as the show got good. “Supernatural” has been suffering from a [...]

TV: ABC to Start Streaming “Lost”

Don’t know why analysts are saying this is a bad idea: ABC is going to test out streaming episodes of “Lost” and “Desperate Housewives” after they air on regular TV.
Can I just say: Finally! Duh!
This is what the “media convergence” is all about. We should be able to download TV shows on demand, from the [...]

The New Doctor Who

It’s been a long, long while since I’ve watched classic Doctor Who, but I was a fan of Tom Baker and his famous scarf.
After a long hiatus, they released all new episodes of Doctor Who in 2005, with Christopher Eccleston as the ninth doctor. (The SciFi Channel is currently showing the 2005 episodes.) This year [...]

TV on DVD: “Kung Fu” Kicks Ass

The 1970’s TV show “Kung Fu” is not sci-fi, but I wanted to share anyway. I recently rediscovered this show, which is now on DVD.
For those who haven’t seen it, “Kung Fu” stars David Carradine as a Kwai Chang Caine, a half-Chinese, half-Caucasian Shaolin monk who is on the run in America’s Old West after [...]

DVD: “Cube”

This 1997 low-budget Canadian flick has a few good things going for it: A creepy setting (the cube, of course), and some horrific scares along the way.
The premise: A group of people wake up, confused and clueless, in a futuristic prison shaped like a cube, which is, in reality, a cube of cubes. The film [...]

TV: “Supernatural” Finds the Right Mix in “Hell House”

Thursday’s episode of “Supernatural” once again demonstrated why this show should become a classic in the liturgy of sci-fi/horror shows.
Sam and Dean come to a small town where, legend has it, the ghost of a 1930s farmer, Mortici, hangs girls in the root cellar of a creepy abandoned house. They’re not sure if the story [...]
