Alien Nation: Ultimate Movie Collection created by Kenneth Johnson (1994-1997)
25 April 2008The 5 Television Films which continued on the Alien Nation TV Series after the show was cancelled, letting them end the cliffhanger, and expand the story to a point where it could end and not leave too much hanging. These 5 movies, DARK HORIZON, BODY AND SOUL, MILLENNIUM, THE ENEMY WITHIN and THE UDARA LEGACY […]
Alien Nation the Complete TV Series created by Kenneth Johnson (1989-1990)
23 April 2008I loved the 1988 film when it came out, and was a huge fan of the series when it came on in 1989, and was sad to see it leave the air. Sure it is a bit cheesy at times, veering from Monster of the Week to what new revelations about these aliens will their […]
Ashes to Ashes created by Matthew Graham and Ashley Pharoah (2008)
16 April 2008The brand new spin-off to the amazing BBC series LIFE ON MARS. This one with the Gene Genie, Gene Hunt, now in London, and it is an enjoyable series, though not near.y as good as LIFE ON MARS. In fact Gene seems to have changed allot, and where he would have never have taken so […]
Remembrance of the Daleks by Ben Aaronovitch (1988)
15 April 2008My first experience with the seventh Doctor, Sylvester McCoy, who seems a throwback to the earlier older Doctors, except has a modern British Punk companion Ace (Sophie Aldred) who is the toughest companion since the warrior Leela, a 1980’s punk girl with a backpack a bat and a huge boom box. An enjoyable adventure, and […]
Revelation of the Daleks by Graeme Harper (1985)
18 March 2008My first Colin Baker adventure (well I remember seeing him as a kid, and being totally disturbed), and I enjoyed it, though it is certainly quite different, but still the Doctor, and still enjoyable. And this is the first time I have seen an American companion with Peri (Nicola Bryant), and it is a great […]
Resurrection of the Daleks by Matthew Robinson (1984)
17 March 2008I went on a Dalek kick and picked up basically all of the available DALEK episodes of Dr. Who, and thus also got an intro to a bunch of the Doctors that I didn’t know, and I have just started to get to know, and Peter Davison is one I only recently got to know, […]
Doctor Who Story 010 The Dalek Invasion of Earth by Richard Martin (1964)
12 March 2008This is the earliest episode of Doctor Who I have ever seen, and the only one with the first Doctor and his granddaughter Susan, and the basic story was remade into the 2 movies Dr. Who and the Daleks and Saleks Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. which change the story and make it actually Doctor Who […]
Doctor Who Story 104 Destiny of the Daleks by Ken Grieve (1979)
6 March 2008A mediocre Tom Baker adventure as Doctor Who. Enjoyable that it has the Daleks and is the first episode of the second Romana (Lalla Ward who had just played Princess AStra in the Armageddon Factor and who ended up marrying Baker for a short period), but obviously low budget, and not too hard workout out. […]
Doctor Who Story 081 Planet of Evil by David Maloney (1975)
4 March 2008A classic Tom Baker Doctor Who with Elisabeth Sladen as his companion. This one has elements of both Forbidden Planet and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and really has 4 enemies that the Doctor must Deal with or befriend. This is a great one, and I love the planetary sets as well as the space […]
Life on Mars created by Matthew Graham, Tony Jordan and Ashley Pharoah (2006-2007)
26 February 2008I started watching this show because I had seen John Simm on Doctor Who playing the Master in the new series Season 3 ending, and I was really impressed with him as an actor. And I saw that he had another BBC series playing on BBC America, and this was LIFE ON MARS, which I […]
House M.D. Season 2 created by David Shore (2005-2006)
25 January 2008As I said in the last review I had barely seen any of this Season, and it is really good, maybe even better than the first Season, but at least as good. This is an amazing show and Hugh Laurie is one of the best actors on television. It is amazing enough that he gets […]
House M.D. Season 1 created by David Shore (2004-2005)
16 January 2008My father got me into this show on one of my trips back to Maryland. He showed me Three Stories, at almost the end of the first Season, which has House (The one who makes this show so good the amazing Hugh Laurie, the British actor who makes this show) teaching a class and explaining […]
Doctor Who Season 3 created by Russel T. Davies (2007)
4 January 2008Another great Season of the New Doctor Who. David Tennant is my favorite Doctor since Tom Baker and Freema Agyeman is a much better companion than Billie Piper ever was. Not only that, but the return of one of the Doctor’s best villains in the guise of John Simm is just fantastic. John Simm is […]
Futurama: Bender’s Big Score by Dwayne Carey-Hill (2007)
4 December 2007After it’s untimely cancellation amazingly Futurama has returned from cancellation and started with a joke about the network idiots that cancelled the show. And it is back in all of it’s glory. This is a movie that will be broken down into 4 episodes fro the cartoon network, but this is it in all it’s […]
Battlestar Gallactica Razor by Felix Enriquz Alcala and Wayne Rose (2007)
4 December 2007Ronald D. Moore has really topped himself here. The series Battlestar Galactica is fantastic, dark and brooding and a great commentary on our modern times, though it has not been looking too good in the last season and a half, but this single movie has elevated it again, because this is easily as good or […]
Jack of All Trades by Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert (2000)
23 October 2007I am a huge Bruce Campbell fan, and after seeing Brisco County Jr. i wanted more Bruce Campbell goodness, and this show paid it in spades. This show is 10 times more over the top than Brisco Country, with little or no reality, and is so much fun. The show is hysterical and as silly […]
The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. by Jeffrey Boam and Carlton Cuse (1993-1994)
12 October 2007I have a fan of Bruce “The Man” Campbell since I saw the original evil dead film, and have wanted to see this show for some time, but it was my friend Tony that turned me onto it by lending me the first disc, and from there I picked it up because I was hooked. […]
The Muppet Show Season 2 created by Jim Henson (1977-1978)
20 September 2007I grew up with the Muppets, and am even working on a puppet show with my friend Jared right now (you can see the initial test here), so I am a huge Muppet fan, and with the second Season the Muppets really hit their stride, and also a season where the guest list was mind […]
Doctor Who Story 105 City of Death by Michael Hayes and written by David Agnew (1979)
18 September 2007A very enjoyable Tom Baker Dr Who romp through Paris and time, trying to figure out what is happening with certain time shifts that seem to be occurring, and only they can see them. This is quite an enjoyable tale, with a great villain, and some fun trips into history, and Lalla Ward as Romana […]
Doctor Who Story 130 The Five Doctors directed by Lovett Bickford and written by David Fisher (1980)
18 September 2007It is too bad, but this should in fact be called 3 of 5 Doctors, since Tom Baker is only here in archival footage (which is too bad, he would have been great to see with everyone else, and many villains and companions joining as well. It is an enjoyable romp. This is the special […]
Doctor Who Story 110 The Leisure Hive by Lovett Bickford written by David Fisher 1980
18 September 2007An OK Tom Baker adventure, and I believe the last one available on NTSC DVD at this point. The best part is the aged makeup on Tom Baker which is fantastic, and this one is mostly notable as the end of the Doctor using the Randmizer he installed at the end of the Key of […]
Doctor Who Story 105 City of Death by Michael Hayes and written by David Agnew (1979)
18 September 2007A very enjoyable Tom Baker Dr Who romp through Paris and time, trying to figure out what is happening with certain time shifts that seem to be occurring, and only they can see them. This is quite an enjoyable tale, with a great villain, and some fun trips into history, and Lalla Ward as Romana […]
Greg the Bunny IFC Best of Film Parodies by Sean Baker, SPencer Chinoy and Dan Milano (2005)
17 September 2007After the FOX show was cancelled, these guys made the jump to IFC, and back to older less complicated puppets for Greg and Count Blah. Here they do low budget movie parodies, and some of them are hysterical, though they have a much different tone than the TV show. This is a much darker world, […]
Doctor Who Story 092 Horror of Fang Rock directed by Paddy Russell and written by Terrance Dicks (1977)
13 September 2007Sure the effects are as cheesy as can be, but this is a riveting horror adventure, set in the confines of a lonely light house. Again I enjoy having Louise Jameson as the warrior woman, which is such a change from most of the Doctor’s companions. And it is another fun Tom Baker adventure.
The Doctor […]
Doctor Who Story 091 The Talons of Weng-Chiang by David Maloney
13 September 2007A long story, six episodes instead of the usual 4, is an enjoyable romp in victorian England with the Doctor dressed in his best Holmes attire, though honestly not too memorable and it is just too bad that most of the Chinese in the episode are played by white people because it certainly comes off […]
