The fourth, and presumably final, Futurama has arrived, and I actually checked this one out relatively quickly compared to the last three. Despite my lukewarm reactions to these direct-to-DVD movies, I was extremely curious to see how the Futurama saga would end. All in all, I enjoyed this movie a lot, and though [...]

Really short post today…
This week’s Lost was a little lackluster, in my humble opinion. Not a lot happened – we found out that Sawyer, Juliet, Faraday, Miles, and Jin joined up with Dharma in the seventies, which we kind of already assumed, and that Sawyer and Juliet hooked up. It was great seeing [...]

Quick note today, and as always: SPOILER ALERT!
Another fantastic episode of Lost last night, and it was great to see the adventures (or is that misadventures?) of Jeremy Bentham. A strong case was made in the episode that Ben is the villain of the story (which we’ve long suspected) and that Charles Widmore is, [...]

SPOILER ALERT!
I’ve been loving Lost this season, but I think last night’s episode may be my favorite so far. Sawyer, Juliet, Miles, and Faraday were given the night off, and we got a whole mess of how the Oceanic 6 – Jack in particular – made their way back to the Island. I [...]

First up as always is Lost: I really and truly love this show, but I have to say that I get a bit disappointed when the big “reveals” in the show are things that most fans have already guessed – like that Jack and Claire were related, or that Locke’s dad was the original “Sawyer,” [...]

SPOILER WARNING!
Ah, Lost, how I missed you. I still have some quibbles with the show here and there – like how convenient is it that every time the guys on the Island are in mortal danger, there’s a flash? And how convenient is it that all of the members of the Oceanis Six [...]

So as odd as it may be for me to admit this, until recently, I’d never seen any of the Rambo movies. Weird, I know. But thanks to the power of Netflix, I have been able to remedy that situation.
First off – the word “Quadrilogy” is pretty awful – going forward, movie franchises [...]

Lost is back! And I was totally intrigued by all of the questions that were raised in the first two episodes of Season Five. I had a few nitpicky complaints, which will get me mocked by James, no doubt, but here goes: I got that the first episode wasn’t specific to one character [...]

My problem with the first two Futurama direct-to-DVD movies is that they didn’t seem to have the right “flow,” like they weren’t quite full movies, and not quite four episodes. As much as that bothered me with the first two, the problem seemed to be amplified even more in Bender’s Game.
See, here’s the thing: [...]

Happy New Year!
Every December, multiplexes are flooded with Oscar bait movies, and without fail, 99% of them hold no interest in making me shill out $10+. Brad Pitt aging backwards? That’s a rental. Ditto that one about the millionaire with the subtitles. They might be great, I just typically don’t have [...]
