  • Summer 2009 So Far

    by Josh Roth @ 6:26 pm June 7th, 2009

    summer091

    Boy do I love the summer. Not only is it a time to kick back and relax by the pool, but it’s also when we get some of the biggest, most anticipated movies of the whole year. We’re about a month into the summer movie season and I wanted to give you guys a wrap up of my thoughts of how the summer’s been shaping up, cinematically.

    This is going to be an exciting weekend for sci-fi fans. Tonight saw the first of three brand new half hour Red Dwarf specials, continuing through the weekend, and tomorrow we’ll finally get to see the next Doctor Who special! But before that let’s focus on the first new episode of Red Dwarf in 10 long years. Well fear not fellow smegheads!! Red Dwarf is back, in high definition, with the original cast, original writers, and all new effects, and it is bloody fantastic.

    ABC Family may have tragically cut down ‘The Middleman’ before it’s time, but you can help support everyone’s favorite milk drinking superhero by pre-ordering the DVD!! The Complete Series will be released on DVD to coincide with Comic-Con 2009. Middleman creator Javi has said before that the DVD will feature episode commentary, as well as other making of content I’m sure. Shout Factory will be producing the DVD, the same guys who do the Mystery Science Theater 3000 DVD’s, and they produce quality stuff. So head on over to Amazon and pre-order your copy. Right now. Go do it.

  • SCI FI to Become SyFy?!

    by Josh Roth @ 9:27 am March 16th, 2009

    What the frak are you doing to yourselves, SCI FI Channel? First you start airing wrestling, then you cancel your flagship show (Stargate SG-1), then the wildly popular spin-off to your flagship show (Stargate Atlantis), and now this?! In an announcement that’s shocked and awed the sci-fi crowd, NBC Universal’s SCI FI Channel has announced it will be changing its name to SyFy to appeal to a wider audience. This is just the latest in a long line of bad ideas from SCI FI in an aim to make itself less of a geek network.

  • Nathan Fillion Returns to the Small Screen in ‘Castle’

    by Josh Roth @ 10:01 pm March 14th, 2009

    Castle - Home - ABC.com.jpg

    Two of my favorite things in TV are procedural crime dramas, and Nathan Fillion, and here are they together at last! ABC’s new mid-season procedural dramedy Castle, starring everyone’s favorite hammer related superhero as a cocky pulp crime fiction writer who must help the NYPD when a killer starts killing straight from his books. Fillion is the king of snark, he plays the ultimate sleezy cheeseball, at the Dr. Horrible Comic-Con panel Joss himself said “Shatner, you’re time is done”.

  • The Middleman Goes on a Manhunt on ‘Dollhouse’

    by Josh Roth @ 6:01 pm February 22nd, 2009

    dollhouse-target.jpg

    Like I said last week, never underestimate Joss Whedon. This week’s episode rocked harder and faster than the pilot, I dare say this would have made a better pilot. In a show like Dollhouse where the main character undergoes a personality change from episode to episode, you needed at least two episodes to really get a sense of how the show will feel. Now I think we know. Every week will be a new adventure, presenting a new acting challenge for Eliza Dushku, as the overall series plot moves forward. And I say, sign me up.

  • Clive Owen Can Kick Your Bank’s Ass, ‘The International’ Review

    by Josh Roth @ 8:50 pm February 16th, 2009

    theinternational.jpg

    The International, starring Clive Owen as a renegade Interpol agent, had some very misleading, and frankly awful trailers and ads. Tom Tykwer, who directed the bizarre, stylized, German action film Run, Lola, Run, added some much needed style to the decent script, and Clive Owen brought his typical brooding bad-assery. As it turns out, The International isn’t as mediocre or ‘Hollywood’ as the ads made it out to be. It’s actually a pretty compelling action/thriller with moments of serious greatness (there’s a shootout in the Guggenheim, and damn is it incredible).

  • Dollhouse FINALLY Lands, Welcome Back to the Whedonverse

    by Josh Roth @ 4:49 pm February 15th, 2009

    dollhouse-echo.jpg

    “Grrr, Arrgh.” Seeing those immortal grunts return to the TV almost brought tears to my eyes. Joss Whedon’s shows are always leaps and bounds above everything else on television, but I’ll be honest, Dollhouse gets off to a bit of a rocky start. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s never, ever, ever underestimate Joss Whedon. That man will surprise you to no end, and at every single turn. He inspires creativity and all around genius form everyone around him, and we’re all better off for it. Buffy and Angel took a whole season each to really get rolling, but I’ve got a feeling Dollhouse will get us invested much quicker.

  • A Vampire, a Werewolf, and a Ghost Live Together in ‘Being Human’

    by Josh Roth @ 10:45 am February 6th, 2009

    Being_Human_promo.jpg

    Why are BBC shows consistently better than most US shows? Doctor Who, Torchwood, Life on Mars (the original, UK version), and now Being Human. I think the answer is because they take risks. I could never imagine a US network (even a cable one) green lighting Doctor Who or Being Human, they’re just too out there, too original. Get this, in Being Human a vampire, a werewolf, and a ghost share a house in Bristol, each trying to figure out how to survive as supernaturals in a human world. Being Human feels like a modern descendant of Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Angel, at its heart its a clever character drama in the guise of horror. You can catch Being Human on BBC Three in the UK and on BBC America when it hits the States later this year.

  • Fringe Comes Back from Break with Killer Monster Scientists

    by Josh Roth @ 6:10 pm February 5th, 2009

    fringe_13_01.jpg

    J.J. Abrams’ procedural science fiction drama has come back from its mid-season break with a vengeance. “The Transformation” was co-penned by Zack Whedon (yep, that Zack Whedon, brother of the all mighty Joss Whedon, of Dr. Horrible fame) and J.R. Orci. Fringe seems to have taken a bit of a break from their season long story arcs in favor of more serialized episodes. But this week sees the return of the John Scott / Nina Sharp / Massive Dynamic storyline, and with some interesting developments. Fringe may not be the most intelligent or complex show on TV, but it sure is loads of sci-fi fun.
