My MO when it comes to movies is pretty well established. I like sci-fi the best but am also a fan of horror. But when it comes to sci-fi/horror mashups… well… my feelings are mixed. Sometimes it works really well, like in Alien but usually I feel like the horror just gets in the way […]

Zombieland

October 03rd, 2009 | Category: Reviews

I know there are people out there who don’t like zombie movies, ’cause I’ve met them, and I guess I get why they don’t like zombies, ’cause they’re losers, but still, how can you not like zombies?  Zombies are just fun.  They are scary and cool and creepy and gory and bloody and gross and apocalyptic […]

Stargate Universe

October 05th, 2009 | Category: Reviews,Science-fiction

Whoo!  Stargate is back!  My love of Stargate is well documented so I’m glad to report that SGU is still delivering the gatey goodness.  The 2-hour premiere gave us lots of fun cameos to bring us back into gateland and retained the “feel” of Stargate.  Except it’s grittier, a new direction I hope they’ll keep […]

November 05th, 2009 | Category: Reviews,Science-fiction

So remember back in the ’80s there was this wicked mini-series about aliens called V?  Yeah, it was awesome.  I rewatched it a few years ago and it totally held up, as long as you watched it through an ’80s filter.  But the remake pretty much sucks, which is really disappointing because there is so much […]

Hells to the yes.  What an excellent movie.  All the dialogue was workshopped and improvised and it really shows, in a decidedly good way.  Never in my life have I seen a movie that was so naturalistic and believable in terms of character interaction.  Which is all the more amusing because the premise is a […]

So You Think You Can Dance

July 06th, 2010 | Category: Random,Rants,Reviews

Alex Wong needs to move into my house and dance for me on command.  He can sleep on the new couch and can do chores in the daytime when I’m at work.  When I get home he can greet me at the door by doing the splits and then the hip-hop routine he rocked last […]

Fantasia Film Festival 2012

August 04th, 2012 | Category: Fantasia,Reviews

I am old now and as such don’t have the energy to go to as many Fantasia films as I once did. I still go to mainstream movies all the time – at least once a month if not more – but I prefer to go to theatres with comfortable seats and even assigned seating […]
