Extraterrestrial movie review: no intelligent life on Earth
Utterly empty. It’s aware of the tropes of the new mythos of alien abductions, but makes no attempt to find anything even the slightest bit fresh in them.
X-Files
Upstream Color review: higher dimensions of storytelling
A confounding intellectual mystery, an enigmatic philosophical science fantasy that’s like a cinematic Moebius strip.
The Dyatlov Pass Incident (aka Devil’s Pass) review: mountain high
A deliciously ooky, X-Files-esque chiller that’s a scary-fun hoot and a half; a lean, smart example of the found-footage flick.
QOTD: Is the military-industrial-entertainment complex trying to ensure we stay passive consumers, not active creators?
Was Fox Mulder right? Is the Net becoming our digital soma?
Grimm: Season One (review)
LOL for American network television trying to do fantasy. Except Grimm isn’t funny, not even a little — not even accidentally. It’s dull. Worse, it’s so damn tediously conventional.
staying in on a Saturday night to watch Doctor Who is the new cool (and other adventures in social networking)
Links my followers on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ saw today…
Zero Dark Thirty (teaser trailer)
Sounds like it’s time for another reminder about Fox Mulder’s warning concerning the military-industrial-entertainment complex…
question of the day: Which onscreen romance do you wish was real?
OMG! Mulder and Scully have hooked up in real life! Bella and Edward have broken up! How can we go on amidst all this real-life fan fiction happening right in front of us?
Doctor Who thing of the day: I want to believe (in the Doctor)
Somewhere in an alternate universe, is Fox Mulder on an endless hunt for proof of the Doctor’s existence?
Storage 24 (review)
Crosses the line into misogy-wah! territory, and conflates an attack by an alien monster with an attack by mean ol’ bitches on innocent men who didn’t do nothin’ to deserve it.
