‘Doctor Who’ blogging: “Army of Ghosts”/“Doomsday”
Russell Davies, you magnificent bastard. I told myself I wasn’t gonna cry. I’ve seen these episodes a bunch of times now, I should be over the crying. But I cry every time. Every damn time I cry.

‘Battlestar Galactica’ blogging: “Six of One”
(lots of spoilers! assumes you’ve seen the episode!)
opening wide today: ‘Prom Night,’ ‘Street Kings,’ ‘Smart People’
Prom Night It’s one of those not-screened-for-critics non-R-rated “horror” movies, so you know what to expect: bad pseudo teen actors running around not quite half naked getting hacked to death in not quite graphic ways. Though the title suggests that anyone not a jock or a cheerleader in high school will find the setting horrific … more…
screencap Friday: what the flick? #15
Friday fun! Here’s a screen capture from one of the DVDs in my collection (and it’s definitely from a movie, not a TV show). Guess the movie for fun and, well, fun. No prizes, just bragging rights.
‘Doctor Who’ is on the Sci Fi Channel all day today
I had to turn it off or I’d never get any work done…
it’s yet more ‘Doctor Who’ with ‘The Sarah Jane Adventures’
There are three Law & Order shows and three CSI shows, so why not three Doctor Who shows? Hell, why not three hundred Doctor Who shows? Russell Davies doesn’t need to sleep, does he? You might not have heard, since it’s been kinda low-key, but there’s a third Doctor Who series on the air in … more…
daily list: 8 things it’s okay to think about Doctor Who
“It’s ok to think Doctor Who is gay, says David Tennant,” blares a headline at TimesOnline. Which is hilarious… doubly so because it turns out the article is about David Tennant saying it’s okay if you think he, the actor — and not the character of the Doctor — is gay. He isn’t — gay, … more…
the green light doesn’t always mean “great flick”…
The green light just means “see it.” I knew this was gonna need some explaining when I gave a green light to Expelled, the pro-creationism documentary opening wide next week. And already I’m being accused of falling for its “Darwinism = Nazism” claim (which is but one of the bizarre aspects of the movie). You … more…
oh my god oh my god oh my god ‘Doctor Who’ is back
The hotel I stayed at in Paris last week got two BBC channels on the cable, and on both of them, it was nonstop geeking out over Doctor Who, which was returning for a fourth season of the new series last Saturday night, April 5. This promo was airing all week: And every time Donna … more…
my week at the movies: ‘Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden?,’ ‘Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed,’ ‘The Visitor,’ ‘Smart People,’ ‘Redbelt,’ ‘Forbidden Kingdom,’ ‘Street Kings’
It’s almost over at this point, but for what it’s worth… Yesterday was a three-movie day, which I’ve learned to avoid if I can, because it tends to be too much, but sometimes it’s not avoidable. Morgan Spurlock — he of Super Size Me fame — has a new doc about the global war on … more…
