Walt Disney’s Bolt is a thoroughly enjoyable bit of fluff with just the right amount of darkness and danger to give kids [and their parents] a bit of a scare before everything works out. In terms of animation, it’s almost to the level of PIXAR, though the storytelling isn’t as fluid. The 3D, however, works […]
VIDEO GAME NEWS: Netflix not working.
Am I the only one having problems activating the Netflix Streaming on the New Xbox Experience?

VIDEO GAME NEWS: DAGGER! No Black Avatars – WTF?
I was so excited this morning to wake up and finally give the new X-Box Live Experience a quick spin before I head off to work. Right off the bat it was disappointing, the installation routine was quick and easy, but the first thing I noticed was – where the heck are avatars for black […]
TELEVISION: Wagon Train: The Complete Color Season – Experience One of the Most Influential Treks in Television History!
When Gene Roddenberry pitched Star Trek to NBC, he described it as “Wagon Train in space.” Without Wagon Train, there might well have been no Star Trek – or any of its sequel [and prequel] series.

Blu-Ray News: New Blu-Ray Announcements
The Chronicle’s of Narnia: Prince Caspian was one of my top five favorite films of this year, I saw it twice in the theater and watched it again when I flew to London. It holds up well to repeat viewing. And as a general rule I hate talking animal movies. The Blu-ray version in will […]

MOVIE REVEW: Quantum of Boredom, Michelle looks at latest Bond!
From the minute they announced the lame title, Quantum of Solace (what does this even mean?) for the new Bond film; I could not be less enthused. I liked Casino Royale well enough; Daniel Craig is a good Bond stuck in material that only showcases his body and fighting abilities. From the opening fight sequence […]
MOVIE REVIEW: Quantum of Solace: Vengeance is Mine, Quoth Bond!
If you’ve seen Casino Royale, then you’ve gotten all the character development you need to enjoy Quantum of Solace, the latest adventure of MI6 operative James Bond [Daniel Craig] – but it’s not all the characterization you’ll get before the film ends. This film, which begins twenty minutes after the end of Casino Royale is […]

The episode concluded with Jim’s ghost appearing to his widow in his hospital room. Tonight’s episode, Threshold, finds Melinda [Jennifer Love Hewitt] unable to […]
