I’m a Jason Statham fan. Have been since I saw Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. When you go into one of his films, well, anything after the first Transporter movie (an admittedly guilty pleasure series for me), you know exactly what you’re going to get. Statham is the action star of the new century….

Game of Thrones S02E04 – Garden of Bones
New locations are presented to us in this week’s always brilliant opening credits, we get a glimpse of Qarth and Harrenhal. The episode begins in the Riverlands with a successful night time raid on a Lannister camp by Robb Stark, his dire wolf and his men. In the blood-strewn aftermath of the assault, Robb…
Star Trek: Phase II – A Few Revisions
Alright, so now I’m a little further into this well-put together fan series, and wanted to update my previous statements. Cawley and co. obviously felt that the first Scotty didn’t work out, and have since recast him with a moustached gentleman who has our favorite engineer’s burr down pat. The stories have improved from episode…
The Killing – Day 18 – Ghosts Of The Past
Gah! This show! It just keeps getting better and better every week! I’m finding that there is so much going on now – with everyone – that it’s really no longer about who killed Rosie Larsen anymore. Yes, I want to find out, and my brain is still spinning on all the new information…
Daughters of Darkness (1971)
It’s been awhile, things had gotten busy, and I just wasn’t in the place for a horror movie for a bit, but I have no intention of ceasing my journey through the 101 Horror Movies to See Before You Die. We’ve reached the 70s, and I watched this cult classic, a co-production from Belgium, France…
Star Trek: Phase II
We’ve established that I’m a huge Trek fan, even as I type this the blu-ray is in my player, and I’m finishing up the episode “Shore Leave,” I’m reading the second book in the Lost Years series, A Flag Full of Stars, I’m making my way through DS9 and am hunting down the new IDW…
Game of Thrones S02E03 – What Is Dead May Never Die
The politics and machinations are well under way at this point of the season, as parties maneuver to gain control of the Iron Throne and the lands of Westeros. North of the Wall, we rejoin Jon Snow as Craster delivers him to Lord Commander Mormont after catching Snow spying on the fate of Craster’s male…
The Killing – Day 17 – Oji Jun
Let me start off by saying – I loved this episode! It quickly became a smoldering return of just about everyone we encountered in season one – the first two weeks of the investigation. And those still smoking ashes – now with a few new coals thrown in – feel like they are bringing the…
Snow Is Not So Cool.
Snake Plissken could kick Snow’s ass, and sure as hell look cooler doing it. Lockout is a wannabe, there are hints of cool and bad-assery, but it just comes across as too smug in it’s perceived hipness. Now, there were a couple things right at the beginning that I really liked, including the opening interrogation…
Call Me Snake…
I’m off to a sneak preview of the new sci-fi actioner Lockout this evening. When I first saw the trailer, the only thing I could think was that it looked like a John Carpenter/Kurt Russell film without either of them (though some of the dialogue looks even cheesier) and more importantly, it looked like a…
