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…
The Killing – Some Quick Thoughts on Rosie’s Backpack
Okay, so season two opened with a 2-hour episode to get us all caught back up in the web of mystery surrounding the killing of Rosie Larsen. In one very creepy moment, Stan Larsen and his sons literally stumble across a pink backpack covered in blood, with the initials RL bedazzled on the front. …
Game of Thrones S02E02 – The Night Lands
The Song of Fire & Ice continued this week, with the incomparable fantasy series Game of Thrones. And you know you’re addicted, and a geek, when you notice and pick out new locations that you’ve read about and imagined appear in what may well be my favorite opening credits for a television series ever. This…
The Killing: Day 16 – Numb
You know, I have really missed this show. As each new episode unfurls before me, I am vaguely aware of how truly caught up I am in each character’s life. My mind is constantly spinning, trying to recognize new clues as they appear, and amend my theories as I go. mostly, though, I am…
Ridley Scott – My Top 10
I am so pumped for Prometheus, but we know that. So, while I wait very impatiently for June 8 to return to The Company, Lv-426 and learn the secrets of The Engineers I thought it would be very interesting to run down my list of favorite films by Sir Ridley. While some people may not…
