Lately I’ve been re-watching MTV’s old series, Daria. From her humble beginnings on Mike Judge’s horrible, tasteless and raunchy show Beavis and Butthead, mainly as a foil for the two leads, Daria’s been known for her wit, sarcasm, intelligence, and observations about life. I don’t watch much MTV, if any, but I used to watch [...]
Today, I thought I’d take a different tact and talk about a subject that’s very pervasive in media, and has been for a long time: why do movies based on books mostly suck? Whether it’s The Seeker: The Dark is Rising, Eragon, or The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Hollywood just can’t seem to get [...]
Due to all the bad reviews of this show, I waited until it hit my local dollar theater to go and see it. I HAVE to say this to begin with, I like M. Night Shyamalan, and I have since his movie The 6th Sense. I’ve always thought he was a brilliant storyteller and a [...]

I’ve watched this show regularly since the 5th season, and have watched older seasons online as well. This season the prize is the [...]
I’m a gamer. I’ll admit, I love fragging geth or reapers, love swinging lightsaber or sword or katana, or casting that AOE (area of effect, covering a large area) spell that will make my enemies cower before me like the digital goddess I am, doling out the hurt and the justice. I’m actually nowhere near [...]
Who’d’ve thought that a black and white TV show aimed at younger teens and ‘tweens, teaching science and history using a sci-fi backdrop to make it fun, would not just be popular, but last for nearly 50 years? The Doctor probably would’ve thought so, but then, he also would have gone and seen it for [...]
