Gone Girl strikes a hair-raising minor chord
David Fincher’s latest film Gone Girl is magnificent for a surprising multitude of reasons. Days after watching I am still thinking about this movie, mulling over Fincher’s construction and portrayal of Gillian Flynn’s story. By the end of the film, I can see all the pieces, and where they fit, but for some reason I […]
Box Office Report 9/29
This weekend at the box office The Equalizer lost The Maze Runner down a dead end to pick up the number one spot with a $34 million opening weekend. The Maze Runner dropped, only picking up $17.4 million as opposed to last weekends $32. The Boxtrolls just fell short of picking up the second place […]
Doctor Who: The Caretaker: Yes, Peter Capaldi is getting better.
Just in case you didn’t really know, what The Doctor really thinks of humans The Caretaker will show you. The Time Lord that believes humans are thick enough to fall for his ultimate disguise, a new jacket, and the alias “John Smith” (but you can call him, The Doctor). Never mind the fact that it […]
The Equalizer is an enthusiastic rush of action
The Equalizer, which is an adaptation of the television series, is extremely well made, incredibly entertaining and satisfying, but light on meaning. This isn’t a bad thing, carrot cake is still good, satisfying, but it doesn’t count as eating vegetables. Much like that carrot cake, this film is highly satisfactory, and it contains just enough […]
Strangers is a moving short film
Strangers is a short film written and directed by independent filmmaker Joe McClean. Joe just showed this piece at the Big Bear Lake International Film Festival, I don’t know what the reaction was there, but mine was substantial. Clocking in at 10 minutes and 38 seconds there is not much time for a drawn out […]
Box Office Report September 22nd
In today’s Box Office Report The Maze Runner managed to elude the competition to find a $32.5 million opening weekend. While fellow newcomers A Walk Among the Tombstones and This is Where I Leave You picked up the leftovers for$12.7 and $11.5 million respectively. No Good Deed dropped from the number one box office draw […]
Doctor Who: Time Heist is a lighthearted bank robbery adventure
The Doctor turns bank robber in Time Heist, but as things are when The Doctor is involved, nothing is ever as simple as it seems, so things were in this adventure. Two new temporary companions proved to be a welcome addition as Clara seems to have been mostly written out of this episode, in spite […]
The Maze Runner is a labyrinth of disappointment
I wish I could say The Maze Runner was a suspenseful and intriguing film that held me captivated until the very end, but I cannot. There are a few redeeming qualities, but not enough to make up the ground lost by sloppy direction and a bad script. The screenplay, based upon the novel The Maze […]
This Is Where I Leave You is as serious as it is funny
I love comedy, in a close second I love a good dramatic story. If you happen to combine those two elements, more often than not you end up with a confused mess that is neither funny nor profound. To my delight, This Is Where I Leave You is not a confused mess. It is a […]
Listen to The Doctor, What’s Wrong With Being Scared?
Listen is an episode brilliantly constructed, but only if you do as the title suggests. Listen very close, there is so much to hear, and just maybe you will discover what is underneath your bed. Written by Steven Moffat, who tosses words around the page as if they were toy building blocks. There is so […]
Evermore, Forevermore, at Salt Lake Comic Con
We were first introduced to Evermore Park during Salt Lake Comic Con’s FanX this past April. Since then we have kept an eye on the project, eagerly awaiting opening day. When we got word of Evermore Park expanding their exhibit for the 2014 Salt Lake Comic Con we were very excited to see what they […]
Salt Lake Comic Con is a serious convention for serious geeks.
Salt Lake Comic Con 2014 has ended, some of us have mostly recovered, and the spoils of the weekend are being sorted and posted. Some of us made new friends, some realized countless hours in a hot crowded building has an overall negative impact to general body odor, and some of us found reminders that […]
The Doctors were in … Salt lake City.
Doctors 6 Colin Baker, and 8 Paul Mcgann were in Salt Lake City for Salt Lake Comic Con, and this is one Doctor Who geek that was very excited to have the opportunity to meet them, and hear them talk about their time in the TARDIS. Before I had the chance to meet with and […]
Robot of Sherwood was playful and nostalgic
Doctor Who: Robot Of Sherwood was a little disappointing because the script appears fantastic, but appeared absentmindedly directed. This is one episode I had to watch twice to be sure that I was not simply misunderstanding the episode (thanks to a long convention weekend) on my part. After my second viewing, I feel more confident […]
Box Office Report: September 8th
Today’s Box Office Report brings us a very slow weekend, and the Guardians of the Galaxy continuing their reign on top of the box. Followed again by adolescent turtles, and romantic comedy If I Stay. Newcomer As Above/So Below managed to catch the fourth position, just beating out Let’s Be Cops. The November man opened […]
