Stargate SG-1: Season 10
The Show
For any television series not called The Simpsons to run ten years is a major accomplishment. For a science fiction series to make it a decade, that’s practically a revelation. Stargate SG-1 has been a major force in science fiction and gathered hordes of fans over the years, but everything must eventually […]
Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law – Volume 3
The Show
If you’ve never heard of Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law, I’m not sure what to say that could describe the series short of just telling you to watch a few episodes. Essentially taking some of Hanna-Barbara’s lesser popular superhero character from the 1960’s, the Cartoon Network’s [adult swim] brand has put a great […]
Lonely Hearts
Release Date: 7/31/2007
The Film
When I first heard about Lonely Hearts, I thought it must have had some promise with the names that were associated with the production.

Hot Fuzz
Release Date: 7/28/2007
The Film
I wasn’t a huge fan of Shaun of the Dead, but most certainly appreciated the spirit behind the film. Now, the team of Simon Pegg, Edgar Wright, and Nick Frost are back with Hot Fuzz, a buddy comedy/action thriller. Keeping the comedic formula in tact, the film takes Pegg and […]

Zodiac
The Film
The serial killer genre is arguably one of the most difficult in filmmaking. So many efforts have been churned out that the clichés are apparent to even the most novice filmmaker. The true challenge is making a film that actually has original suspense, no small feat these days. It’s only fitting […]
