FlashForward Part One, Season One DVD is not worth your money. Michelle’s Review
FlashFoward is one of those high concept shows that I was initially excited for, but then let me down. I tried watching the first few episodes when they originally aired but could not get into it. The pacing was too slow, it took forever to establish the characters and it’s way too serious. I decided […]

TELEVISION: Dinoshark is a Suspense-Free Horror!
Apparently, writers Frances Doel and Guy Prevost didn’t watch many Roger Corman films before they write Dinoshark [Syfy, 9/8C].

TELEVISION: American Idol Recap (03.09.10)
Sorry for the delay, all. I am very much under the weather. In any case, on with the show. It’s Ladies Night once again and there are eclectic songs in the mix. The judges give us everything from “That was all wrong” to “You are the one everyone has to beat.” Many missteps and a […]
