‘Doctor Who’ blogging: “Smith & Jones”
I was totally prepared to hate Martha Jones. I *wanted* to hate Martha, for Rose’s sake. But I can’t hate her. She’s too cool.

‘Doctor Who’ blogging: “The Runaway Bride”
I once again can’t stop thinking about ‘Doctor Who,’ or the Doctor. It’s pathetic, but I really am in love with him. I don’t mean I have a celebrity crush on David Tennant, though of course he’s totally adorable and I certainly wouldn’t turn him down. But he is not the Doctor, and I am in love with the Doctor…
‘Doctor Who’ blogging: still madly in love with the Doctor
Just so we’re perfectly clear here: I am not “reviewing” Doctor Who. I am geeking out over it. I never pretend to be “objective” about anything I write about here, but I’m putting everyone on notice: I have absolutely no interest in debating the merits of this show. As far as I am concerned, if … more…
what is ‘Cloverfield’?
You’re all buying into J.J. Abrams’ pop-culture psy-ops. Suckers.
more ‘Doctor Who’ on Sci Fi — hoorah!
Those reruns of Jericho? Oops: they’re up against the return of Doctor Who to the Sci Fi Channel this Friday night. The fact that Jericho was one of the shows most time-shifted or watched online — methods of viewing that aren’t captured by traditional ratings systems — apparently contributed to its initial cancellation, though it … more…
‘Jericho’ reruns start Friday; maybe a lot more to come next fall?
The news about the resurrection of Jericho (which I wrote about previously here) just keeps getting better and better… maybe. One of the show’s executive producers, Carol Barbee, tells us not to assume that those seven episodes we’ll get next season will wrap up the story. “We are not closing this story out. We have … more…
spending the holiday in the Twilight Zone
It’s such a rare thing in our television world of too many cable channels filling up their schedules with endless reruns of old shows to come across episodes of a favorite old show you’ve never seen before. And yet this happens to me every year during the Sci Fi Channel’s Fourth of July Twilight Zone … more…
GM hopes you’re dumb enough to (kinda) think Transformers are real
This is how stupid, how pliable, big corporations think we are: Posters outside theaters across the country list Jon Voight, Shia LaBeouf, Josh Duhamel and Megan Fox as the stars of the summer action flick “Transformers.” But in the labs and cubicles where General Motors Corp. (nyse: GM – news – people ) workers design … more…
License to Wed (review)
I was so tempted to walk out of *License to Wed.* And I have *never* walked out of a movie, not in my ten-year career as a film critic, not before.
my movies this week: absolutely nothing
It’s a holiday week, which means no movies for me. It’s not that there aren’t a few films screening this week, but I’ve either seen them already or don’t care to see them. (I think the last week in which I didn’t see a single film was that quiet week between Christmas and New Year’s, … more…
