'Lost' (6.7) "Dr. Linus" - Review
Thu, 03/11/2010 - 10:01 — Vrej Hezaran
It's pretty much a given that any episode of Lost featuring Ben is going to be a solid entry, and "Dr. Linus" is no exception. In a previous episode this season, we caught a glimpse of Ben's alternate self, a high school history teacher at the school where Locke ends up teaching. This week's episode delivers on that tantalizing promise and delivers an episode that's second only to that Locke-centric one as best of the season so far.
'Caprica' (1.6) "Know Thy Enemy" – Review
Thu, 03/11/2010 - 09:42 — Jason Van Horn
Caprica is a very different type of sci-fi series, but I've still enjoyed it so far. It's been a bit slow, but last week's episode was excellent and started a storyline I hoped to see continued. Well, it wasn't continued this week, because instead we went back to the slow moving character drama of the first four episodes. I didn't mind that the first handful of episodes, but I thought this episode dragged and was quite boring at times.
'Warehouse 13' Unites 'Firefly' Stars
Thu, 03/11/2010 - 08:22 — Jason Van Horn
As proven last year, Warehouse 13 loves bringing on other sci-fi stars to guest on their series. The trend looks like it will continue this season too, as it was just announced that Firefly stars - Jewel Staite and Sean Maher will be guesting on the same episode this year. In a twist of fate, instead of Kaylee being in love with Simon and it not being returned, this time around Sean's character will be the one in love with Jewel, who doesn't return the love.
'Chuck' (3.9) "Chuck Versus The Beard" – Review
Wed, 03/10/2010 - 09:57 — Jason Van Horn
When a television show's star decides they want to try their hand at directing, it usually means that said actor is going to be missing for the duration of the episode, so that they can focus on directing duties instead. Such was not the case with this week's episode of Chuck, as Zachary Levi was not only directing this week, but was still front and center in this very funny and insightful episode.
'Alice In Wonderland' – Second Opinion Review
Tue, 03/09/2010 - 09:50 — Vrej Hezaran
I've been a pretty big Tim Burton fan since I can remember. Beetlejuice is one of my all-time favorite movies and he's continued some solid output even in recent years with solid movies like Big Fish and the darkly comic Sweeney Todd. I'm also a pretty big fan of Lewis Carroll's two Alice novels. Even though I find the books are unfilmable, that didn't stop me from enjoying the Disney cartoon as well as the 1985 TV movie that I used to watch ad nauseam as a kid. Both took a whimsical and musical approach to the source material, because I can only imagine they also concluded that the books as were indeed unfilmable.
Felicia Day To Star In Syfy's 'Red'
Tue, 03/09/2010 - 09:33 — Jason Van Horn
I love Felicia Day. I would make a post just saying that and posting pictures of her loveliness and showing you videos of her talent, but luckily today there's also news to post regarding her. I'm not one to usually care about Syfy's crappy Saturday night movies, but Syfy just announced that Felicia Day will be starring in Red for them - an adult retelling of the Little Red Riding story.
"In the action-packed Red, Red (Day) brings her fiancé home, where he meets the family and learns about their business - hunting werewolves. He's skeptical until bitten by a werewolf. When her family insists he must be killed, Red tries saving him."
'Tron: Legacy' Trailer Now Live
Tue, 03/09/2010 - 09:21 — Jason Van Horn
We've seen the teaser trailer already, but now the first official trailer for Tron: Legacy is now live for your viewing pleasure. If you want to see it, however, you've got to click on over to the movie's viral website, as we can't currently embed it yet onto our site.
Somerhalder May Return To 'Lost' Again
Tue, 03/09/2010 - 09:15 — Jason Van Horn
Ian Somerhalder has already been on Lost once this season, where we saw him on the plane in the sideways universe. For those Boone fans out there, it looks like we may be seeing him once again on Lost before the show is over. He wouldn't reveal one way or another, but all he would say is that, "It's in the works."
'Alice In Wonderland' - Review
Mon, 03/08/2010 - 11:56 — Chris Gregg
Ever since I was a kid, Alice in Wonderland was a story that creeped me out. I wonder if Alice in Wonderland can even be called a story. From what I remember of the book, it’s almost an anthology of poems, misadventures and strange characters that occur almost independently of any coherent story. In fact, Lewis Carroll invented Alice's adventures on a rowing expedition with some of the young children he seemed overly fascinated with, one of whom was named Alice. If Carroll was the Michael Jackson of his time, then Alice in Wonderland was his Moonwalker - an entertaining if not perplexing exercise in nonsense.
'Fringe' Renewed For Third Season
Mon, 03/08/2010 - 11:33 — Jason Van Horn
Fringe fans can now rest easy, as the fate of their show has been decided, and it will indeed be back next year for a third season. The show doesn't bring in amazing numbers, but the network apparently still has faith in it and its ability to perform.
'Alice In Wonderland' Breaks Record
Mon, 03/08/2010 - 09:59 — Jason Van Horn
Alice In Wonderland was the number one movie this weekend, taking in $116.3 million domestically to set a new record. As reported on Sci-Fi Wire, "Even accounting for ticket-price inflation, that's the biggest-ever (domestic) opening in the first quarter of the year, easily beating the record of $83.8 million set by The Passion of the Christ in 2004."
'Smallville' Gets A Tenth Season
Fri, 03/05/2010 - 10:03 — Jason Van Horn
As you can probably tell since we've yet to ever have a review of Smallville on this site, nobody on here really watches the show or likes it all that much. Of course, we know it's still got a very loyal fanbase, which is why it doesn't come as much of a surprise that Smallville will be returning next year for its tenth season.
Smallville joins Supernatural and The Vampire Diaries as other sci-fi/fantasy genre shows returning to The CW next year.
Michelle Rodriguez Returning To 'Lost'
Fri, 03/05/2010 - 09:59 — Jason Van Horn
Other than Mr. Eko (so far), it seems that every major character in Lost's history is going to be making an appearance in one way or another on Lost during this last season. The latest castaway making a return appearance is Michelle Rodriguez as Ana-Lucia. My guess is that she'll be in one of the flash-sideways.
'Futurama' Returns In June
Fri, 03/05/2010 - 09:10 — Jason Van Horn
The straight to DVDs were fine and all, but fans really wanted Futurama to rise back up from the ashes and return as a TV show. Futurama was finally picked up by Comedy Central after the success of the DVDs and now we know when the first episode of the new season will begin airing - June 24th. The show will apparently air at 10PM Eastern.
