TV Review: Torchwood: Miracle Day – “A New World” (Season Premiere)


by Matt Sernaker, Senior Editor

 

Miracles really do come true as Torchwood returns to television tonight with the premiere of Torchwood: Miracle Day. This newest incarnation of the Torchwood series is brought to us thanks to a new partnership between BBC and Starz.

 

Taking place after the incredible Children of Earth story, Torchwood’s existence has been wiped away without a trace. Gwen Cooper and her family have gone into hiding with the hopes of living a normal life. Captain Jack Harkness was last seen leaving the planet and heading out into space looking for a new direction and purpose after the incident with the 456.

Movie Review: Horrible Bosses

by Gary Sernaker, Reporter

Horrible Bosses is not a horrible comedy, it’s just a horrible example of how comedies are hobbled together today.  There are some yuks, but not enough to sustain the laugh-out-loud quotient that should have been an easy mark to obtain, considering this movie’s all-star cast.

Blu-Ray Review: Red Riding Hood: Alternate Cut

by Erin Hatch, Editor-At-Large

Now you can get your copy of Red Riding Hood: Alternate Cut available on Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Download combo pack!

I was prepared to write a truly scathing review of Red Riding Hood. Honestly, I wanted to relish this, to really tear into it, to say that it was total dreck and that watching the film was a pain in the neck and a waste of my time, so it should be taken as an enormous complement when I say that I am a little bit disappointed that this movie wasn’t as horrible as I expected it to be. In fact, there were several moments that I thought were actually good. I’ll admit, I might have pre-drank a little too much, and thus enjoyed the movie more than I would have sober.
