3 Hours of Chuck in 24 Hours = AWESOME!




Let’s face the reality that NBC is having a rough ratings time, what with the 10pm fiasco and most of the new series tanking so badly. Keeping all that in mind, the network made a really good decision, bringing back Chuck a bit earlier than they wanted to, and using it as an anchor on their very weak Monday slot. I have got to tell you, Season 3 picks up where the awesome left off. Read More »

2010 is destined to become The Year of the Remake. Having just written that sentence, my mind vomits at the thought that this coming year will serve up MORE remakes than last year and yet, the proof is in the trailers.

Who Ya Gonna Call?




It has become a movie industry bereft of an spark of originality, with very few exceptions. For every Avatar, there are 5 or 10 movies so derivative, so sequel-ly, so damn rubber stamped that it boggles the mind that there might be any brain cells left in Hollywood.  Bearing that in mind, I shudder to bring to you

GHOSTBUSTERS III

Anyone old enough to remember the complete disappointment of the sequel, aptly named Ghostbusters II, is now gagging on their own phlegm at the thought of yet another incarnation of this glorious masterwork of comedic Sci-Fi.  Honestly I have no argument with sequels and prequels and Nyquils, OH MY! I am a huge fan of Bill Murray and Harold Ramis. I loved the whole concept of the original very much. I take issue with GB3, The Next Generation, whereby the old guard is there with a new, hip and younger bunch of Twilight-type sparkly ectoplasm eradicators. Set for a shoot in summer, 2010 and release in 2011, pray that Ramis has a huge hand in the pre-production and script. Otherwise, I am very afraid of this ghost.

The Tao of Who




David Tennant gives us a wonderful farewell in The End of Time as well as a key to the future of the series. Timothy Dalton as The Time Lord and Narrator is simply wonderful. Both in substance and texture,  this holiday send-off is a fitting and beautiful ending to the Tennant era as Doctor. “It’s not like I’m an innocent. I have taken lives” With these words, Tennant brings the humble futility of his existence full circle, from the wonders to the horrid wretchedness that is the universe we all inhabit. As much as we as an audience have come to adore him, Tennant utters the fateful words, “..sometimes, I think the Timelord lives too long..”, and thus ushers in the new with his own demise in a stunningly beautiful masterstroke.

In a scene reminiscent of The Last Starfighter, Grandpa Wilfred and the aliens play Laser Tag with NATO missiles to a rousing score. Mickey and Martha come back to join us, Sarah Jane and her son say hello, Captain Jack gets a quick lesson in redemption, Rose spends a New Years Eve to remember..my god, this is the BBC at its best. John Sim puts in one of the most magnificent performances ever seen in this series. Enjoy the last of David Tennant and savor the first glimpse of Matt Smith.

This is Dome sayin: May the Universe Sing You to Your Sleep.
