Natasha Eloi Part 3
Welcome to the 3rd and final part of our chat with Natasha Eloi! We had such a good time with Natasha, and we can’t wait to have her come and visit us in the studio, and perhaps bring some of her cool collectables and toys! In this final installment we chat about our favorite…
Doctor Who S07E05 – The Angels Take Manhattan
***SPOILERS BELOW*** This is the episode where we say goodbye to the Ponds. It’s also the episode that showed me why I love Moffat’s writing, because no matter what some tend to think of his stories, and this one is a corker, you’re emotionally attached to these characters. You feel for them, you worry…
Doctor Who S07E04 – The Power of Three
This isn’t your typical Doctor Who story, and I think that’s why I like it as much as I do. Penned by Chris Chibnall this gentle, character focussed episode takes the Ponds out of the Doctor’s life, and puts him into theirs. It’s no secret that this is the penultimate episode for the Ponds,…
Doctor Who S07x03 – A Town Called Mercy
This week’s episode of Doctor Who, written by Toby Whithouse, isn’t neccessarily a misstep, it’s just the weakest episode of Series 7, sure there have been only 3, but this one just doesn’t fire on all thrusters. The concept is fun enough, the Doctor (Matt Smith), Amy (Karen Gillan) and Rory (Arthur Darvill) get…
Doctor Who S07x02 – Dinosaurs on a Spaceship
Genocide, piracy, Egyptian queens, big game hunters, the Ponds, stupid robots, Harry Potter alumni, and DINOSAURS!!! This was so my kind of Doctor Who episode! Penned by Chris Chibnall this episode is just good fun! The Doctor (Matt Smith) throws together a gang (“I’ve never had a gang.”) when he recieves an alert from the…
Doctor Who – Who is Oswin Oswald?
So Doctor Who returned to our screens Saturday night, with Matt Smith as 11, and Arthur Darvill and Karen Gilllian returning as the Ponds. But it was the early appearance of the next companion, played by Jenna-Louise Coleman that raised some curious questions. The big surprise came near the end of the series opener, Asylum of…
The Omen (1976)
Another classic film brought to me by the 101 Horror Movies book. Once again, we are referring to the original of course, not the remake from 2006. All I can remember about that one is that it had Liev Schreiber, and I remembered I didn’t care for it. The original however, still gets the job…
Doctor Who Christmas Special 2011
I do like my Doctor Who, anyone who knows me can testify to that, so it bothers me when I can’t rave about how much I love an episode of it. I did find that the second half of the last series didn’t completely blow me away, though there were lots of moments I liked,…
Trailers for the Holidays.
Movies, Books and tv shows… or toys related to them. If that’s what people get me for Christmas, they tend never to go wrong, and the Industry certainly delivered some fun stuff for me today… Starting with a return to the Shire… I got chills seeing Sir Ian as Gandalf again!! The Hobbit! Of course,…
