Nine reasons why Dollhouse season 2 is a good thing
May 22, 2009 16 Comments
So I caught up on “Dollhouse” a few days ago (as my Twitter followers can attest, thanks to my wild exclamations and general giddiness) and I’m gladder than ever that it was renewed. In fact, here are nine reasons why it’s a great thing that “Dollhouse” is coming back for round two: 1. The Joss [...]

We’ve got the frakking 411 from Universal on the release of several Battlestar Galactica DVD and Blu-ray sets, including a $350 complete series collection on Blu-ray that does everything but fly you away into outer space. They’ll all be released on July 28. The science fiction epic that not only bridged generations but brought a [...]
The day the Earth was dull (even in IMAX)
Dec. 19, 2008 1 Comment
The movie is not a must-see, but anyone looking for a fun sci-fi film, go see “The Day The Earth Stood Still.” Anyone who won’t be annoyed by the fact the film tends to not make sense, go see it. Anyone who likes special effects more than plot and character development, by all means, go see it. But as a film based on a film that was a warning to take better care of our planet, “The Day The Earth Stood Still” does not nail its message home. Anyone going to the movie theater to see a quality piece of film, take your money and go see something else.
Spoilers included.

The only good thing about Too Human is the game it ripped off.

Stargate: Continuum came out last week hot on the trail of Stargate: The Ark of Truth. This movie finally ties all story threads in the SG:1 Universe — a fitting end to a series that started with an alien invasion. The direct to DVD and Blu-ray feature is directed by series veteran, Martin Wood. Written [...]
Don S. Davis, a true artist, at 65
July 2, 2008 1 Comment
When Blast commissioned an interview feature with Don S. Davis, it wasn’t simply because he was an interesting character actor who our readers know, love, and largely grew up with. It was because I was inspired by the amazing range — actor, stunt man, painter, sculptor, set designer, writer. He was never really a leading [...]
A portrait of Don S. Davis
March 3, 2008 3 Comments
Look for the name Don S. Davis in the credits of television shows and movies, in the corners of oil paintings, on a military badge and, soon, on a screenplay cover. He is a man of many roles, many talents and, appropriately, many fans. People often don’t see the person behind the TV character or [...]
Star Trek: Conquest — Ouch.
Feb. 13, 2008 Leave a Comment
Star Trek: Conquest was a low budget game from the start. The game is a feeble attempt at entertainment. The game is so simple that it completely fails at holding any type of storyline, maps or anything. Bethesda disappointed many “trekkies” with this one. The gameplay is turn-based strategy, which in the proper element can be [...]
