Ten years ago, ABC premiered a new half hour series the likes of which had never been seen before.

DVD REVIEW: Iron Man Ultimate 2-Disc Edition Flies High!
In my review of Iron Man during its theatrical run, after noting that the film worked mainly because of its honouring the source material from the Marvel comics, I wrapped up with: “While the action scenes aren’t as accomplished as something by Michael Bay, they come off better because director Jon Favreau understands that it’s […]

TELEVISION: Cold Case: Solid Procedural Enters Sixth Season
It’s hard to believe, but Cold Case [CBS, Sundays, 9/8C] has been setting the ghosts of the past to rest for over five years. The sixth season premiere, Glory Days, follows the familiar pattern – after we see the final moments of Michael “Bad Moon” McShane [Aaron Hill] in 1973, a piece of evidence is […]
MOVIE REVIEW: Miracle at St. Anna: Great Moments Do Not a Movie Make!
Spike Lee’s latest joint, Miracle at St. Anna, has a number of incredibly good moments. Unfortunately, the movie as a whole sucks big.
