the box-office by the so-called "Twi-hards", who sent THE TWILIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON rocketing to #1 with an astonishing $143m. It had the best opening day ever ($72.7m), and the third best weekend opening ...

I thought it might be nice to get
to know the regulars here a bit better. So...
many of you use "handles" and lurk behind cartoon-y avatars. And, beyond your general taste in TV/film, I don't know much about anyone personally -- especially some of the newer commenters. I don't want a full biography ...

[SPOILERS] The least compelling episode so far, but
still not without ribald charm and absorbing moments. Ostensibly...
focused on Alisha (Antonia Thomas), but finding time to give gobby Kelly (Lauren Socha) and timid Simon (Iwan Rheon) something to do, episode 3 found the gang struggling to ...

Virgin Media have announced plans to partner with
TiVo , the PVR market leader in the US....
TiVo actually launched in the UK back in 2000 (partnering Thomson Multimedia and Sky), but their boxes never really took off with the British public. It was left to Sky to push the idea of PVR's into ...

[SPOILERS] I've gone space-crazy. My consciousness drifts in
and out of Defying Gravity now; a glazed expression...
descending every time Donner (Ron Livingston) gives us another of his easygoing, patronizing voice-overs. It's all very didactic and stilted. It's Halloween (prematurely ...

[SPOILERS] Here it is, the final episode of
V before its four-month hiatus. Perhaps if they'd known...
earlier this opening quartet could have been crafted as a purer mini-series (echoing the genesis of the '80s series), but it instead feels like a handbrake has been pulled too soon. The ...

[SPOILERS] A kind of precognitive Casualty, sci-fi thriller
Paradox got off to a solid if unexceptional start....
It's another BBC genre show that doesn't offer too much outright originality, but is just content to put a humdrum fantastical twist on a police procedural. This can sometimes ...

[SPOILERS] Hot on the heels of Dexter's "Hungry
Man", Heroes does its own Thanksgiving episode, but it's...
of a decidedly softer nature (i.e. no family meal ends with the c-bomb and strangulation... just arm and forehead slicing.) Is there some deep-seated issue with the American psyche ...

I just thought I'd draw everyone's attention to
the return of the Spotlight feature in the sidebar...
of this blog. It's just a place where I embed videos of things that take my fancy (usually film trailers and TV spots), rather than create a blog post for them all the time. Right now I have all ...

According to Michael Ausiello , the ABC sci-fi
series FlashForward has temporarily shut down production. The series...
has been picked up for a full season already by the network, but they've suffered the departure of showrunner Marc Guggenheim, the critical response has been largely negative, and ...

[SPOILERS] See, just give us a few decent
characters and a human story to follow, and you...
naturally draw us into your world. Now, when those people are threatened or forced into tough situations, we might actually give a damn about them. It's just a shame Flashforward applied this fix to ...

[SPOILERS] I'm not entirely sure about this episode.
It certainly gave us some big developments and two...
surprises (although I'd guessed one last week), but it just didn't feel like a natural continuation of last week's episode. It almost felt like I'd missed an episode, as Arthur's (John ...

Last Thursday I gave British and Irish readers
the chance to win a copy of Terminator Salvation...
on DVD or Blu-Ray (the latter of which included a life-size T600 skull). To have a chance of winning you just had to answer this question in 84 words, or less: "If a cyborg from the future came ...

There never seemed to be much appetite for
Hung reviews around here (seriously, am I the only...
one watching?), so I've decided to retire the show from weekly review. I'll still tune in every Thursday on More4, but it's not really worth my time putting a review together that nobody appears ...
