Burn Notice Returns, Still the Best Spy Show Ever
by Josh Roth @ 8:18 pm January 27th, 2009
Now that the holidays are over and we’ve entered the New Year, our favorite TV shows are finally starting up again. This week alone we saw Lost, Fringe, and How I Met Your Mother again, and now, Burn Notice is back baby! I’ve already spoken on the total brilliance of Burn Notice, and now that its back I highly recommend giving it a looksie,. Even if haven’t been watching the whole series you can still jump in at random and have a kick ass time.

Have a Bloody Good Time at My Bloody Valentine 3D
by Josh Roth @ 10:05 pm January 18th, 2009
One of the more irritating trends in recent films is the menagerie of horror remakes the studios have been trotting out in an attempt to wipe out the world’s creativity. At first My Bloody Valentine 3D seems to be another one of these, but it isn’t really. Bloody Valentine is more of a classic 80′s slasher flick than it is a modern horror remake. It’s not torture porn, or a psychological thriller, what it is is straight up blood and guts horror…and in 3D no less. Within 20 minutes you have at least two very gory massacres, in 3D. If you’re looking for old school straight up fun horror, look no further. My Bloody Valentine 3D has it in spades, plus, it’s in 3D!

Even Neil Patrick Harris Can’t Save SNL
by Josh Roth @ 5:00 pm January 12th, 2009
Neil Patrick Harris is an absolute show stealer, he radiates pure talent, and yet Saturday Night Live was able to make even him seem unfunny. Out of the entire episode three of the sketches (including the digital short), and the monologue were the only good parts. The problem with the episode wasn’t NPH, it was the show, they just didn’t give him good enough material to work with. In fact most of the sketches he was in didn’t focus on him at all. -
Another Stargate Comes to a Close
by Josh Roth @ 5:08 pm January 10th, 2009
Last night saw the end of one of my all time favorite sci-fi franchises, Stargate, at least until this summer. Stargate SG-1 was the first show I ever became a fan of, and it sparked my interest in science fiction. SG-1 lasted a great 10 years, and never really lost its creative spark. A few weeks ago I went a bit nuts when Sci-Fi Channel canned Stargate: Atlantis, and now the adventure’s finally over. The finale wasn’t particularly thrilling or spectacular, there have been far more exciting episodes, and in the end it feels a bit rushed. But there were some great space battles, and some especially impressive special effects. What “Enemy at the Gate” did do well was wrap up the series, making way for the upcoming TV movie, and the next chapter in the Stargate saga. -

Get the Flash Player to see the wordTube Media Player.Not the Prom you’re thinking of, with limos, drunk teenagers, and party buses. The Proms are a series of summer concerts at Royal Albert Hall in in London, held and recorded by the BBC. Last July the BBC held a Doctor Who Prom, featuring music from the series composed by Murray Gold. And there’s an exclusive Doctor Who scene featuring David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor! The Doctor Who Prom is a fantastic celebration of the wonderful music and creature design of Doctor Who.

Matt Smith Announced as the Eleventh Doctor, And Why It’s NOT the End of Doctor Who
by Josh Roth @ 6:44 pm January 4th, 2009
I won’t lie and say I wasn’t a little disappointed by the BBC’s announcement that actor Matt Smith would be the Eleventh Doctor. A 26 year old white man isn’t exactly all that surprising or exciting, I suppose I was expecting something a bit different, or an actor I was familiar with, or both. I was hoping for Paterson Joseph or James Nesbitt, instead I got what I thought was a Twilight reject…but after watching interviews with Steven Moffat, and Matt Smith himself I’ve become more optimistic about this Eleventh Doctor, if only a little.
