    Doctor Who - the end of time [spoilers]

    Well... I hope you don't mind me being the dissenting voice here, but I found this last hurrah of the Tenth Doctor to be flawed at best. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a fitting sendoff to David Tennant and the wonderful 4 years he's given us. At the same time though, it's an irritating (but...

    Dragon Age: Origins

    My brother just got the collector's edition for my 360 yesterday, and he's been loving it so far. My reaction has been a bit muted. :erm: Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great game, but it's not exactly been wowing me as much as when I first played Mass Effect. For one, the graphics don't...

    The new Star Trek movie is...

    Wow. I thoroughly enjoyed that. :D This new Trek has some real energy to it. Something the franchise has been lacking since The Voyage Home. In fact, without the familiar characters, starships, and all the familiar locales, I'd say this was a different scifi franchise altogether. But while...

    Who's your favorite RPG protagonist? (SPOILER WARNING)

    I posted a poll like this way back in the kotorfanmedia forums here. I've since added some more choices on the poll. If some of you are asking "why these characters in particular?", allow me to explain. All these characters are the main protagonists in their respective games whose creation is...

    Who's your favorite RPG protagonist? (SPOILER WARNING)

    EDIT: Please delete this thread. I've managed to fix the poll on a new thread here.

    Keanu Reeves is Spike Spiegel-- Whoa..!

    You know, Keanu can be decent in a movie provided with the right script and the right direction. And I've no doubts on his martial prowess, as he proved in the Matrix sequels how good he can be. Though I do wonder if he can pull off Jeet Kune Do onscreen convincingly. But still, I'm wary of...

    Reality TV: Good or Bad?

    Personally I really don't think in terms of whether it's "good or bad" when it comes to reality TV. Like all things, it can have it's share of good and bad. The good examples of for me are those shows where professionals within a certain field get to strut their stuff for the audiences at...

    Fables on ABC

    I'm really not a big fan of Fables. Forgive me for saying so, but while I thought the comic was well done, I'm not so keen on postmodern takes on fairy tales (the rare exception being The Princess Bride, of course ;)). Still, I'll take a look at this when it comes out, though I suspect my...

    Wallace and Gromit: A Matter of Loaf and Death

    Figured some of you anglophiles have probably seen it already, but no one started a thread here so I figured it may well be me. :) Brilliant, is all I can say. I already loved Curse of the Were-Rabbit and all the other shorts, but this one is just as good. Wallace is as clueless as ever, but...

    Ahem. Not to be a spoilsport or anything, but this was already posted in the David Tennant quits Doctor Who topic here.

    This Weekend @ the Boxoffice: 2008.Nov.24

    That's exactly what I find wrong with many vampire stories nowadays. People are so eager to fantasize about these guys as heroes and lovers, that authors are willing to follow suit. As a result, many of these vampires feel like watered down versions of the real thing. The very concept of being a...

    This Weekend @ the Boxoffice: 2008.Nov.24

    You underestimate the power of vampires and teenage hormones. ;) Still, I'm curious about Twilight. Who knows? It might be a good movie. Though the reviews state otherwise.

    New Star Trek trailer online

    Karl Urban for me was the biggest and most pleasant surprise in the previews of this film. I'll admit to having my doubts when he was cast, but I was literally blown away by how scarily he looks like Deforest Kelley in the promotional stills. And his line delivery in the trailer was incredibly...

    Tennant to Quit as Dr Who

    I thought Tennant brought a lot unlikable traits in his portrayal of the Doctor, especially during Season 4. Shall we begin with his holier than thou treatment of the new UNIT during the Sontaran two parter? I probably lost count of how many times I wanted to smack his arrogant arse there. Then...

    Starship Enterprise

    Oh of course building the ship on the surface would be no problem. I was referring to the fact when it actually lifts off. Doesn't physics state that when an object that big flying on the Earth's surface would cause hell on the gravity of the surrounding area. It seems more feasible to me to...

    Starship Enterprise

    Some choice shots from the trailer for your viewing pleasure: Kirk (Chris Pine) looking on as the Enterprise is being built. (A little nitpick here. I'm no science buff, but isn't building a ship that size on the Earth's surface a big nono? Spocks parents, Amanda Grayson and Sarek. Played by...

    Movie Musicials: Good, Bad, or just plain Ugly?

    I must confess that I don't actively seek out movie musicals, but I don't mind them either. My favorites would be Sweeney Todd (Stephen Sondheim is God), Jesus Christ Superstar, The Rocky Horror Picture Show (gotta love Tim Curry in fishnets ;)), and West Side Story.

    007 - Quantum of Solace (SPOILERS)

    Whew. It seems only yesterday when I geeked out over a little film called Casino Royale, when in fact it's been actually 2 years. :) Yet here we are again, with Daniel Craig's second outing as her majesty's secret service man. So the real question is, does it live up to the hype? After watching...
