TV Review: Lost Girl Season 3 finale

Dee talks about the season finale of Lost Girl and reflects a little on the season as a whole. It might not have been the strongest one that Showcase gave us, but they did manage to end on a high note. What does next season have in store for us? We have a long time to speculate.

Blu-ray Review: Cheech and Chong’s Animated Movie

If you’re a fan of Cheech and Chong this is a must have for your collection.  If you’re a fan of watching flicks through what Kev Smith calls the green prism: we're sure you’ll find Cheech and Chong's Animated Movie a fat sack of laughs! Good fun, good animation, and some good laughs despite the mildly dated material.

Blu-ray Review: Pawn

A night shift cop on a routine visit to his favorite diner interrupts a robbery in progress.  And that’s nearly all we can say without giving away key pieces of Pawn, a compelling straight to Blu-ray crime flick from first time director, David A Armstrong.  Pawn contains some attractive elements:  the story is told in anachronic flashback, the setup is deliciously intriguing (what team of professional thieves robs a nearly empty diner at 11:30pm?) and the cast is top shelf.

Movie Review: Oblivion

by Matt Sernaker, Managing Editor Oblivion is a visually stunning film that features a series of twists and turns that will keep audiences excited and on the edge of their seats for a very thrilling take on the sci-fi genre. What…

XBOX 360 Game Review: The Walking Dead – Survival Instinct

by Kroze Kresky, Media Editor Zombie video games are a dime a dozen these days; you can’t shoot a bullet without hitting one even within your favorite franchises. Call of Duty? Zombies! Red Dead Redemption? Also zombies! Halo? Well… to…

PS3 Game Review: Injustice – Gods Among Us

I tend to suck a lot of noodle when it comes to fighters. So when I say that Injustice: Gods Among Us is a ridiculously awesome and entertaining fighting game, you had better believe that there is something very special about it.

Blu-Ray Review: Wu Dang

It feels like forever since I have watched a good kung fu flick in the vein of so many Hong Kong classics. Finally, I get to experience another taste of sweet fighting bliss with the Blu-Ray release of Wu Dang.

TV Review: The X-Files 1×8 “Ice”

In this episode of The X-Files, Mulder and Scully are snowed in at a base where the former occupants went mad and killed each other. They have assembled a team of scientists to explore the reason why, but can they get to the bottom of it before they start to turn on each other? This is an example of an episode that reminds you of another movie or TV show, but it’s done so well it feels like more of an homage.

TV Review: Game of Thrones 3×2 “Dark Wings, Dark Words”

In this episode of Game of Thrones, the show updates us on all of the characters it couldn’t get to in the first one. We see the current status of Arya, Bran, Rickon, Jaime, Brienne, and Theon. While it might not have been action packed, it was important to give everyone a base line of where the characters are and what to expect from here. Game of Thrones is on HBO Sunday nights at 9 PM EST.

TV Review: The X-Files 1×7 “Ghost In The Machine”

In this episode of X-Files, the show does a pretty horrible rip off of Space Odyssey and dates itself worse than ever before. Well, X-Files, they can’t all be winners. Between the hilarious computer problems and bad music, for the first time I could absolutely tell this was the 90s. Oh well. Better luck next time!

TV Review: Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters – “Rebellion”

by Erin Hatch, Editor-At-Large Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters continues with “Rebellion” an action packed installment that continues the momentum of the first three episodes and brings the third season’s first story arch to an exciting climax. SPOILER ALERT! Humanity is…

Movie Review: Trance

"Young Professor X" is back to scramble our minds in Danny Boyle's Trance. Simon (James McAvoy – X-Men First Class) is struck unconscious during an art auction heist. When he gets out of the hospital, the art thief gang bring him to a hypnotist (Rosario Dawson – Men in Black II, Clerks II, Sin City II) to try and discover where he hid the £27M ($41.5M) Francisco de Goya Flying Witches painting.

TV Review: Lost Girl 3×12 “Hail, Hale”

Lost Girl comes back with a vengeance with an excellent episode right before the finale. Dyson’s captured, Hale’s about to be the new Ash, Kenzi might be branded an enemy of the Fae, and Bo gets closer to finding out what Tamsin did to her. If only they had this energy the rest of the season, right? Lost Girl is on Showcase Sunday nights at 9 PM ET, and on SyFy Monday nights at 9 PM EST.
