    Review The "NEW WHO" Showrunners

    I had read some quotes from this interview, but I'd never read the whole thing. Funny how he wants us all to forget that he once slagged the show off so horribly, but now wants us to believe that he's always been the biggest fan there was. I don't hate on the guy for making the comments he made...

    Review Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)

    Oh, K-2SO is the best character in the whole film. It also helps that he's voiced by the fantastic Alan Tudyk. But yeah, his completely sarcastic attitude about everything is great. And honestly, while not perfect, I had little issue with CGI bad person. Yeah, there was some uncanny valley...

    Review The Pilot (2017)

    I do, but at the same time, I don't. My issue with the six parters was how many times a chapter was about ten minutes of dialogue with the rest simply corridor running. But it was nice to see that they didn't cram too much into a single episode, leaving no time for character development or...

    Review Class (2016)

    I finally watched the first episode last night on BBC America. I'm reserving judgement on whether it's love or hate, but so far, it's not terrible. It's basically stock teen characters in a stock teen drama, with the exception that one of them is an alien prince, with his protector/slave posing...

    Fun Anyone else like sitting next to a nice fire?

    Sure sounds like a perfect night to me.

    Review The Pilot (2017)

    I honestly thought it was a nice set up for the new series. I rather like Bill as a companion. I liked their discussion at the beginning when she explains why she has been attending his lectures. And The Doctor telling the photos to shut up was pretty funny. I'm also liking Nardole. I think I'm...

    Review The Davison Doctor

    I remember going to breakfast with my mom at McDonald's, and there was always a stack of newspapers for anyone to read. Of course, they were usually the 65+ crowd, but I usually sat with the opinion page and financial page. Anyway, I'm going to do my best to make it to the live event. It's not...

    Fun Anyone else like sitting next to a nice fire?

    Add some cold brews in the mix, and I'll even bring my acoustic and we'll serenade the stars. I love sitting by the fire at night. Have done for many years.

    Review Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)

    I had two issues with the film. My first problem is that the first act is jumbled. You get a lot of characters thrown at you, a bunch of locations, and no real chance to absorb it. The second issue I have is one that was echoed by more than one reviewer I saw, which is that you get little to no...

    Review Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I am the exact opposite. I love this new trailer. It gets me just as excited as I was when I was seven and saw the first trailers for Return of the Jedi. I still enjoy The Force Awakens, and my wife bought me Rogue One yesterday, so I can see if I still enjoy that one as much as I did in the...

    Review V (1983)

    I never did read any. I think a buddy of mine read one or two and said they were okay. I hadn't really delved into spin-off novels at that point outside of Star Trek and various comic books. And I don't care if she's a deadly lizard woman, Diana always excited me. Even before I understood what...

    Fun What TV Shows Are You Watching/Rewatching at the Moment?

    That's exciting news. Cleese is still a very funny fellow, and I eagerly await this new project.

    Review V (1983)

    I just love that the sci-fi is dumbed down for general audiences, and there's no questioning how human and alien DNA would meld. But yeah, I remember this freaking me out as a kid. Now, um, not so much.

    Review House of Frankenstein (1944)

    This is one of those films that is remembered more highly than it probably should be. It's not terrible in any way, but it's not a good movie. The promise of a multi-monster story is grossly exaggerated. We get acting legend John Carradine taking over as Dracula, giving us a completely different...

    Review Star Trek (2009)

    Shatner all the way. Again, Pine is a good actor, but Bill made the role his own.

    Review The Predator (2018)

    Love the first film. The immediate sequel with Danny Glover is a fun watch, but felt like a departure from the original. We get this little jungle pic with a group of mercenaries fighting an alien, who is a lone hunter on Earth. The second gives us this blown-up mythos, with the Predators having...

    Review V (1983)

    I was a huge fan as a kid. My favorite character was Willie, played by Robert Englund (go figure).
