By Sam Christopher Rating: ½ out of 5 Stars I remember watching an interview with Dennis Hopper—I think it was on Tom Snyder’s MSNBC show—about Waterworld. The problem Hopper had was that it seemed to him that everyone outside the production he heard talking about the film seemed to be hoping it would fail. It [...]

Movie Review: Rise of the Planet of the Apes
By Sam Christopher Rating: 3 ½ out of 5 Stars I had to think about this one for a little bit. I thought the idea was intriguing from the very first mention despite the bad taste left in my mouth after the 2001 debacle that was Tim Burton’s “reimagining” of the original PotA. I then [...]

Television Review: Torchwood Miracle Day Two Perspectives
Sam Christopher’s Rating: 2 ½ out of 5 Stars I’ve never seen Torchwood. I’ve never read anything much about it, either.

Movie Review: Cowboys & Aliens
By Sam Christopher Rating: 2 ½ of 5 Stars The first time I saw a trailer for this it was a teaser. It showed Harrison Ford looking old and gruff—y’know, the way he always looks nowadays. BUT… he was also in a cowboy hat! And there were other guys running around in Old West gear [...]

DVD Review: Resident Evil Afterlife
By Sam Christopher Rating: 1 Star out of 5 Stars I loved this film’s predecessor, Resident Evil: Extinction. I’ve never seen the animated film they did after Extinction but I would watch it. When this film came out I had hopes for it, hopes that fell as every new trailer or commercial or interview I [...]

Video Finds: Colin
By Sam Christopher Rating: 3 out of 5 Stars I finally got to see this the other day and . . . I first read about this film last year, and everything I read said it was the greatest zombie movie ever made. No, they didn’t say that expressly, but where I was reading there [...]
