Are you rushing out to see Watchmen tonight? I have decided to wait until it comes out on DVD. I generally get a good sense of a film from the trailers, and my feeling on it is that it will be so-so. There’s something about the quality of the atmosphere that doesn’t quite feel right [...]
I went to see ‘Mirrors’ last night. A damn fine horror. Low body count but high shock factor, with a gruesome death in there that I’ve simply never seen before. All the good freaky mirror tricks, plus a few new ones. Add the superb manipulation of suspense, and the macabre mise-en-scene (a burned out department [...]
I am glad to see Pushing Daisies back, but alas, the season premiere was not as good as it could have been. Probably due to fallout from last year’s writer’s strike, this episode looked like they tried to smush a half a season of storylines into one episode. One of the aunt’s had a confession [...]
Good news: Reaper and Eli Stone have been renewed! I was a bit worried for both (Reaper seemed to be very much on the bubble) and I am glad to see both will come back. Reaper is not high art, but it’s fun, with some really great moments. I have unfortunately not been able to [...]
Ho hum…I just can’t get excited about anything SciFi does anymore…but in case you are curious…

The WGA strike is over, just in time to make more episodes of Lost this season. A brief review of what’s staying and what’s going sci-fi-wise:
Lost will have at least five more episodes filmed this season.
Reaper and Supernatural will be returning with more new episodes, hurrah.
Bionic Woman and Journeyman are canceled (good call).
Pushing Daisies is [...]
Here it is…ugh…J.J. Abrams looks to be making Star Trek into a pretentious overblown, serious drama. I have liked Abrams’s TV shows (Alias, Lost) but have no interest in seeing an Alias or Lost-like Trek.
The casting of Winona Ryder then confirmed it for me…this Trek movie will not be Trek. It was, after all, [...]
I wouldn’t normally be talking about Heath Ledger here, but with his upcoming role as the Joker in the next Batman movie, The Dark Knight, this is sci-fi news. I have not been a fan of Heath Ledger; he has only been in my consciousness somewhat vaguely and I haven’t seen most of the films [...]
Hallelujah! Bonnie Hammer is stepping back from the day-to-day operations of the SciFi channel, and Dave Howe will be replacing her. I’m not sure if this is great news, however. The crowing puff piece in Variety gushed about both of them, saying that they turned SciFi into a profitable enterprise by moving the channel towards [...]
Well, this is what the Writer’s Guild is striking about: TV and film being streamed online and writers not getting paid for it. Hulu.com is a new website where you can watch a variety of full television episodes (and a few select feature films) for free. The advertising is quick and painless (usually 15 seconds [...]
