24: Season 6 It becomes evident to this viewer as the 6th season begins that America in the 24 world is a vastly different place than what we’re used to in real life: America is under a now constant siege by terrorists, and one in particular has offered to give up the location of his […]

24: Season 7 By now, all longtime fans of the show know what to expect when it comes to the elements of the series, such as Jack Bauer’s tendency to torture, ANYONE can be a turncoat, and the mastermind villains have more back-up plans than you can shake a stick at. For this season, you […]

24: Season 8 All great TV shows are invariably known to sooner or later “jump the shark” so to speak, so in many ways I guess we should be happy that not only did the greatest concept in TV history do so during its final season, it did so in its last few hours as […]

Twilight Is Kristen Stewart the worst actress working in Hollywood today?? After watching her performance in this 2008 adaptation of the cult vampire romance novel, the answer may very well be a resounding YES: Stumbling through the film with the same, stoned-out, dazed expression on her face, reading her lines in a flat monotone that […]

Twilight Zone: The Movie A fascinating experiment more than anything, seeing four directors and four varying styles compete for the best story, and the results are mixed. The mood is set beautifully by Landis with the opening chords of Creedance’s “Midnight Special”, and Dan Aykroyd and Albert Brooks have an easy, unforced chemistry as they […]

Twilight: Eclipse After the spectacular comeback in quality that the second film in the series made over the awful first entry, things were guaranteed to take a step down for the third entry. After the VERY interesting setup of the love triangle between Robert Pattinson’s Edward, Taylor Lautner’s Jacob, and Kristen Stewart’s Bella, things settle […]

Twilight: New Moon Well, it’s certainly clear that the differences between this film and its awful predecessor are like night and day: Perhaps it’s the fact that the main characters are now well-established and that it allows the story to hit the ground running, or maybe because it actually delves into some of the mythology […]

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me Undoubtedly one of David Lynch’s most popular creations (if not his best) was the network TV show Twin Peaks, a series that utilized Lynch’s trademark oddball style in the format of a prime time soap opera, featuring a slew of very weird characters (played by some very respectable actors) […]

2001: A Space Odyssey Routinely cited as the greatest of all Kubrick movies, it can be said that this is certainly Kubrick’s best-LOOKING movie: The visuals are astounding even today, living proof that models and miniatures are much more worth the trouble than CGI will ever be, and just how in 1968 Kubrick managed that […]

Two Thousand Maniacs! The second in H.G. Lewis’ infamous “Blood Trilogy” (after Blood Feast) is in many ways better than its predecessor, with improved production values, an actual music soundtrack, and an encompassing feeling of dread throughout disguised by what appears on the surface to be down home country boy humor. The plot (inspired by […]
