    Review Doctor Who Monsters

    It has been years since I have seen this serial, but I remember liking it. I need to come into some money so I can invest in some classic Who on DVD.

    Review History Captured on Film

    I watched that video. Just wild to actually hear a first hand account of the event instead of reading about it.

    Review It: Part 1–The Losers' Club (2017)

    Um...yeah. I can honestly say I'm not wowed. I'll watch it, but I'm not going in with high expectations.

    Review Modern Who Companions

    Danny deserved better than he got. We finally got a complex character with a great backstory, just to get turned into a Cyberman. It was a crap end for the guy.

    Review The TENNANT Doctor

    That makes more sense. And it does allow them to be more creative. After all, we did get Midnight and Turn Left because of the practice, and I still dig those episodes. Maybe Chibnal can try his hand at it when he takes over.

    Review The Five(ish) Doctors (2013)

    Peter Davison is a genius for making this. I thought it brilliant, and nice to see the eighties Doctors get to pal around. I understand why they weren't asked back for the special, but I also understand the frustration at Tom being asked back and not them. Still, Tom is widely regarded as "the"...

    Review The TENNANT Doctor

    Funny story time. When this series came out, SyFy had just taken it off and BBC America hadn't started showing it yet, so I had to watch it online. I sat up late one night to watch this episode, and had all of the lights off. There I was, completely engrossed in the episode, and I hadn't heard...

    Review Doctor Who Monsters

    Fantastic story! Plus, it has what I believe to be the best scene of Tom Baker's tenure, when he struggles with the possibility of destroying the Daleks before they even begin. There is so much pathos in that one scene. Absolutely wonderful.

    Review Modern Who Companions

    I wasn't sold on Mickey until series 2. After he spends some time on Pete's World and then comes back a bad ass, he becomes a much more nuanced character. It still makes me laugh that he and Martha ended up together.He was spurned by Rose for the Doctor, and she was spurned by The Doctor because...

    Review Modern Who Companions

    Do you think The Doctor ran because he looked into Amy's Untempered Schism? Dammit! I need to stop!

    Review Modern Who Companions

    I do love Amy. Yes, she was overbearing at times, and had I been Rory, I might have given up on her on many an occasion. But she was clever, and a match for The Doctor. My favorite episode of her's is still The Wedding of River Song, because we get to see her being a complete badass. Also, Karen...

    Review The Works of Anne Rice

    I have read and loved the first five books of The Vampire Chronicles. I got maybe halfway through THE VAMPIRE ARMOND and didn't progress. I need to remind everyone, I am in no way homophobic. And her books have always flourished with homoerotic situations that don't bother me in the least. But...

    Review History Written by the Victors?

    Archaeologists are always discovering new things that rewrite history, and are constantly changing the narrative. The unfortunate issue with that is that there are people who will always question anything new that they are taught about history if it conflicts with their idea of what really...

    Review Why do religious people take offense to church humour?

    True dat. There are always protests around controversial films dealing with religion, and the three I can think of that seem to have had the biggest furor around them were BRIAN, THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST and DOGMA (the last two being in my lifetime, I remember the protests being widely...

    Review Religion US vs. Europe.

    And finally, right before his death, he got to play a Jewish person in THE HOLIDAY, which is actually a pretty good movie. Such a great actor.

    Review Justice League (2017)

    There are some really cool moments in this trailer. Some funny lines, and some decent action. Snyder's constant switching back and forth between slo-mo and fast forward is getting really old, and I'm sick of dark looking super hero films. I really want to like this film, but I also really wanted...
