Heroes: Episode Five

OK, rule number one in reviewing: Write it down as soon as you watch it. I saw the last episode of Heroes a few days ago and my head is swimming with so much plot at this point, it’s hard to remember what’s specific to the latest installment.
One thing is for certain: Heroes, despite [...]

Heroes: Episode Four Stretches Credulity

One of the weakest episodes since the pilot in many respects, episode four promises to connect the dots between our various heroes. The problem with this, of course, is that such connections are inevitably contrived and stretch believability. (Should believability be an issue in a series about people with superpowers? Yes, even more so.)
For example, [...]

Farscape Band Playing at the Farscape Convention

See, I always knew Farscape was super cool. Who would have thought that there would be an actual rock band featuring our beloved D’Argo, with Scorpius on drums! (Well, their human counterparts, anyway.) Their band, Signal Room, will be appearing Friday, November 3, at 10 pm at the Burbank convention. From the Creation Entertainment website:
“By [...]

Beloved Boone Back on Lost!

Maybe it’s a girlie thing, but I was a huge fan of Boone and very upset when he was killed off on Lost in the first season. It’s not just that Iam Somerhalder is a super hottie of the nth degree (oh, the eyes!). I actually liked his character. He was calm and somehow soothing…something [...]

Here, There Be Dragons by James A. Owen

This young adult fantasy novel is so charming and so ready to be made into yet another loveable series that it did not surprise me in the slightest to find it has already been optioned as a screenplay.
Unlike most of the kiddie-fantasy being published today,  this is more adult and has adult protagonists varying in [...]

Endymion Spring by Matthew Skelton

Hailed as the “DaVinci book for kids” I picked up Endymion Spring at Wal-mart a few days ago just to have a light quick fantasy read. I was right on two counts, it was light and it was quick. 
I actually enjoyed the book though I admit I was much more ramped up to a spectacular [...]

Dune – David Lynch original theatric release version 1984

What can you say about a film that Director David Lynch says is the only real failure of his career. (I would nominate Wild at Heart for that honor!) Lynch claims that revisiting the film through the DVD edition would be too painful an experience to endure.
I revisited it this past weekend and it was indeed [...]

Battlestar Galactica Season Three: Already Going Downhill?

After watching the season three premiere of Battlestar Galactica, I am getting concerned the show is seriously going downhill this season. Cylons trying to convert humans to God by becoming fascist dictators? Cylons are machines – they should be more logical than this. The whole premise is just ludicrous.
Also, why the need for the graphic [...]

Heroes: Episode Three

If you have missed Heroes, they are running a three-episode marathon on Sunday, October 22. You can also check out the latest episode online at NBC for one week after the initial airing. (NBC, alas, does not keep an archive of old episodes online…but you should, NBC, you should!)
Onto our review:
As we move forward to [...]
