The Mist movie review: we have met the monsters…
Frank Darabont’s adaptations of Stephen King’s writings are not just some of the best mountings of the writer’s work but some of the best films, period, of recent years. So I don’t think it’s too outrageous — or too surprising — to say that ‘The Mist’ is not only one of the best movies of 2007, it’s one of the best horror movies ever made. Period.
sneaking a peek at ‘Battlestar Galactica: Razor’
Battlestar Galactica on the big screen? Ooo, baby. When I heard that the Sci Fi Channel was doing some multiplex sneak previews of Razor, the BSG movie that’ll debut next Saturday, November 24 (and coming to DVD in an extended version in December), I was so there. And it looked really cool on the big … more…
Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead (review)
Oh, but these are awful people, honestly. They’re so deliciously amoral that it’s coolly insane fun to watch them implode, it’s true, but you’d have to run far and fast were you to find yourself actually encountering them lest their slimy stink rub off on you.

Because this is it, right here, the Doctor’s tragedy, and the tragedy of everyone who loves him: he’s destined to be lonely, and we’re destined to be left because he thinks he can deny the loneliness by shutting us out when we get too close.
yet another DVD version of ‘The Princess Bride’? inconceivable!
There’s a new DVD edition of The Princess Bride. Yes, another one. Sure, it’s one of the best movies ever made, a wonderful and sweet tale about the power of true love. But I can’t help but remember the words of the Dread Pirate Roberts: that life is pain (and not all about True Love … more…
‘Doctor Who: Time Crash’: new new Doctor and new old Doctor
There’s a new Children in Need charity video from the Doctor Who folks. This one’s a missing scene between the end of the most recent series and the start of the new one (which begins on Christmas Day). And how cool is this for me: It features my new favorite Doctor and my old favorite … more…
