The Doctor’s been everywhere and everywhen you can possibly imagine, but there’s one place he’s never truly explored: America. The big story for this season is that for the first time in the show’s fifty some odd year history, it was filmed in the United States, and perhaps appropriately giv »»
It doesn’t get much better than this: Joe Rolfe (played by John Payne) is an ex-con trying to change his ways when he’s framed for a million-dollar robbery. Beaten by the police, fired from his job, and now famous for a crime he didn’t commit, Joe is determined to exact his revenge on the »»
It seems like the founding fathers are getting more press today than they did when they were alive. Who they are, what they stood for, and what their intentions were when they drafted the defining documents of our Republic are topics of almost endless debate by television pundits and aspiring co »»
Typically when people argue against science they claim that it somehow robs the universe of its wonder. I’m really not sure how people can say that given that science has shown us icy geysers erupting from Enceladus, Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, and mountains within Saturn’s rings that rival »»
Over at Superhero Hype Ron Perlman details his Conan role, saying: "I play Conan’s father. There’s big-time sword action. But I’m only in the movie for 10 minutes. I can’t tell everything, but the first sequence is huge. It’s epic. All I can tell you is that I work with the Conan who’ »»
There are tough acts to follow, and then there’s David Tennant. Tennant played the ninth incarnation of the titular Doctor in the BBC show and to say that he was a fan favorite is an understatement. Who fans like to say that you never forget your first doctor, and everyone has their favorit »»

I didn’t like Maniac but that’s not because it was a bad film. Sure, I could quibble about the pacing, the camera work, and so on, but those are minor points overshadowed by the remarkable level of authenticity of the violence that’s really the heart of this movie. Frank Zito is a man t »»
Earth and Space combines two of my favorite History Channel shows, The Universe and How the Earth was Made. The first seasons of both programs are included in this Blu-ray set, making this a good place to start for those unfamiliar with either series. Before delving into the ind »»
We love vigilantes in fiction: heroes like Batman and Spider-Man inspire us to be better than we are despite the fact that they consistently break the law in order to uphold it. In reality, though, vigilantes aren’t so well-regarded or sometimes not as moral as our idealizations »»
As far as I’m concerned, The History Channel should be ashamed of itself for airing this tripe, much less releasing it on Blu-Ray. The prophecies of Nostradamus and the belief that the world will end in 2012 are historical, but only in the sense that people choose to believe in t »»
io9's "Morning Spoilers" posted a brief quote from Flash writer, Marc Guggenheim. In an interview, Guggenheim talks about how the Flash's ability to run almost instantaneously anywhere is a kind of wish fulfillment for both the character and for us, and the fact that he runs instead of flies adds a »»
Like many science fiction fans, I grew up watching reruns of the old Irwin Allen show, Lost in Space. It wasn’t a show I was a huge fan of, but something nice to have one when there was nothing else to do. I never would have thought somebody would have made this into a movie, much »»
According to MovieWeb.com, Warner Bros. is working on a live-action retelling of Carlo Collodi's The Adventures of Pinocchio. Bryan Fuller is set to write the script and the movie will be produced by Dan Jinks. Jinks states that he was inspired to do this live-action version by Tim Burton's r »»
Survival of the Dead is a much more tongue-in-cheek outing from the master of the zombie movie, focusing more on silly killings than outright scares. Unfortunately, the watered-down frights and the Tom and Jerry-esque murders are generally pretty lame and have done much better in o »»
In 1972 a plane carrying 45 rugby players crashed in the Andes mountains. Only 16 survived. Over the course of 72 days the survivors did whatever they could to survive, even resorting to cannibalism. If not for that, we probably wouldn’t remember the survivors. Cannibalism is the ultimate t »»
We like to think that we know people, that our neighbors, co-workers, friends, and even family members are who we believe them to be. It’s a rude awakening to find out our best friend is a liar and manipulator, that our parents were swingers, or that the person we’re going to marry was a Naz »»
Season two continues BBC’s all-ages reinterpretation of the Arthurian legends. Old threats return, new ones are introduced, and some major changes happen in a show that continues to entertain even though it’s not my preferred take on the legend. A new foe arises in the character Morgause »»
Like the man it’s named after, Mindfreak is a bit difficult to classify: part stunt show, part magic act, and part reality show, Mindfreak tries to be several things at once and ends up stretching itself too thin. Each episode is centered around what Angel calls a “demonstration,” such as »»
Superhero Hype has posted set photos (credit to GinsburgSpaly and PacificCoastNewsOnline.com) of Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone preparing to kiss in the upcoming Spider-Man reboot. The pictures below don't show much, but it's nice to see how the actors look in their roles. Even though it's too ea »»
For those of you that weren’t born in the Eighties, this version of V is based off of an epic Science Fiction miniseries starring Mark Singer, Faye Grant, and Jane Balder. The basic plot remains the same: alien visitors, or V's, come to Earth with a message of peace and unity. Bizarrely, they »»
The other shows in the franchise, Stargate: SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis straddle the line between what I tend to think of as explorative and military Science Fiction. The crews of both series set out to explore the universe, but at the same time they spent a great deal of time fighting alien thr »»
The class I hated most in college was Geology. The subject itself wasn’t that bad, but the professor that taught it was just terrible and he managed to wring every last ounce of fun and interest out of the subject. I bring him up because How the Earth was Made is just as good as »»
Paranormal State follows the case files of the Paranormal Research Society, a group that once operated out of Penn State University. Like Ghost Hunters, PRS goes to various haunted locations in order to find proof of the paranormal or to help individuals suffering from paranormal a »»
When Fringe first aired I had written it off as an X-Files clone but without Gillian Anderson to keep me interested. Boy was I wrong. After watching the second season I can safely say that this is one of the tightest-plotted dramas out there that features some of the hardest scienc »»
io9 reports that Olivia Wilde has been cast as Justin Timberlake's mother in the upcoming movie I'm.mortal. Set in the future, the premise of the movie is that everyone stops aging when they reach 25. Unfortunately, they have to pay for every year they live after 25. Timberlake's character is acc »»
The first Matrix movie was a sensation. It was a fun, gonzo cyberpunk kung fu comic book movie with striking visuals, intriguing concepts, and great action sequences. Naturally, when the sequel came out, fans were tremendously excited. And then they were tremendously disappointe »»
According to io9, Emma Stone (Easy A and Zombieland) and Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland) have been working with director Marc Webb on readings and screen tests. Rumor has it that the two will play Mary Jane and Gwen Stacey, respectively, in the upcoming Spider-Man reboot. This new rumor con »»
It looks like Stephen King's column with Entertainment Weekly has freed him from closely guarding the film and television rights to The Dark Tower series and has allowed for Universal Pictures and NBC Universal Television Entertainment to close a deal to make a feature film trilogy and a networ »»
A prestige movie attempts to go beyond typical Hollywood storytelling. The focus tends to be on character and the plot stays at a very human, very personal level. These are the highbrow pictures that supposedly elevate the film genre to the level of art, but what many either fail t »»
