Why Six Seasons and a Movie?

For all those that watched the season 3 finale of Community, you would have seen the #sixseasonsandamovie text appear at the close of the episode. But why use that Twitter hashtag instead of something more straightforward, like “thank you” or “(not) the end?” Well, Community is anything but straightforward. In the second season “Paradigms of [...]

Ten Years Ago: Spider-Man

Here’s my review of Spider-Man for Marcus and Stevi’s Ten Years Ago: Films in Retrospective blog. Marc Webb’s Amazing Spider-Man comes out this summer and there’s no better time than now to take a look back at Sam Raimi’s contribution to the Spidey mythos. After Blade and X-Men, Spider-Man was the first serious attempt by [...]

Ten Years Ago: The Scorpion King

Here’s my review of The Scorpion King for Marcus and Stevi’s Ten Years Ago: Films in Retrospective blog. Finally… The Rock has come back… to Ten Years Ago. In The Mummy Returns, the world got a taste of The Rock through minimal dialogue and crappy CGI modeling. So when it came time for The Scorpion [...]

The Tester Season 3 – Season Finale

This is it, the final episode. No time for interpersonal drama. This is going to be the longest, most demanding challenge. The winner will go on for a contract position at Sony Santa Monica studios. The losers, well one of them, will enter themselves in a Maxim Gamer Girl online poll popularity contest challenge.

The Tester Season 3 – Bloopers And Outtakes

This is the recap show and I hate that this even exists. Egoraptor, kwajamonster, suzkaiden, ninjanomyx, douchebag, and skyd1ddy are going to help out.

Ten Years Ago: Blade II

Here’s my review of Blade II for Marcus and Stevi’s Ten Years Ago: Films in Retrospective blog. Remember when vampire movies were bad-ass? Remember when Wesley Snipes wasn’t in prison? Remember when there were fun R-rated comic book movies? Blade II was such an entertaining intersection of awesome that I’m surprised at how it wasn’t [...]

The Tester Season 3 – Episode 7

Here we go, down to the final four. Just like last year, this will be decided by a trivia challenge. Greg Miller from IGN is guest panelist, no word if Gruesome Greggy will make an appearance.

The Walking Dead S02, Ep13: Season Finale

The final episode opens with the zombies in what looks like Atlanta following a helicopter, leading them right to Herschel’s farm.  Boy oh boy are we in for one heckuva zombie showdown.

The Tester Season 3 – Episode 6

So at this point of the show, there will be no more teams for challenges. How did that alliance work out, RealityPalez? Great job. Admittedly, the show gets a lot better once there are no more teams.

The Walking Dead S02, E12: We’re Screwed

Oh hallelujah! There’s The Walking Dead we all know and love. I’m not going to address the fact that this show has taken a drastic departure from the comic at this point. I will say that I think that the way this show was playing out, we, as a viewer, needed this Shane mess to [...]
