Doctor Who and the Sensorites was the seventh adventure of the first Doctor. It’s a tale of trapped humans, scared aliens and thwarted ambition.

DVD: The Caves of Androzani: Special Edition – A Loving Look At What Might Be The Greatest Who Tale Ever!
The Caves of Androzani was the one hundred and thirty-sixth adventure of Doctor Who’s original run, comprising four episodes – and the finale for the fifth Doctor. Its mix of corrupt corporate behavior, the most important/valuable substance in the universe and a dash of Phantom of the Opera is one of the most complex and […]
Primeval, Volume Three – This Is How You Do Dinosaurs, Mr. Spielberg!
The third volume of Primeval contains the thirteen episodes of the show’s fourth and fifth series/season, and the first for the new incarnation of ARC – but not to worry, if you haven’t watched the show’s first three seasons, there’s a quick saga sell/previously on that brings you completely up to date. And it’s definitely […]
DVD Review: Archer: The Complete Season Two Rocks! Plus Contest Winners Revealed!
Although I’m not a huge fan of live action TV shows in which the characters are all reprehensible beyond redemption [*cough* It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia *cough*], the morally repugnant characters of the FX cult hit Archer are funny beyond all reason. The Season Two DVD set is a real killer in that regard.
DVD Review: The Sarah Jane Adventures: The Complete Fourth Season – The Doctor’s Best Loved Companion Defending The Earth With Panache!
Sarah Jane Smith may well be the most beloved companion in the long history of Doctor Who. As evidence, I submit the fourth season DVD set of The Sarah Jane Adventures – the second and lighter of two spinoffs, and a collection of ripping yarns that will entertain Whovians of any age. Clearly, Sarah Jane […]
The Help: Great Film Badly Served By DVD Release!
Today’s release of The Help on DVD is cause for celebration because the film plays just as well on the small screen as on the big one. It’s also cause for great disappointment because of this lovely, lovely film getting terribly wronged by whoever put the bonus features together – they consist of two deleted […]
Whitechapel: The Ripper Returns – Springheel Jack’s Biggest Fan!
Detective Inspector Joseph Chandler is on the fast track, checking off the requirements to make it to the top. When he’s sent to Whitechapel to take charge of a murder investigation – a simple domestic, everyone says – things turn out to be so very not simple. Despite the doubts of his men – and […]
Super 8 Delivers On DVD!
Super 8 is J.J. Abrams’ first film to not be a sequel or reimagining. It’s a tale of innocence lost and found; the magic of making movies and an alien creature that may or may not be a monster. Although the DVD release is more than a bit short on extras [a commentary and two […]
The 4 Ed Sullivan Shows Starring The Beatles is finally on DVD! Michelle’s Review
One of the biggest Pop Cultural moments in the last 100 years happened February 9, 1964 when television host Ed Sullivan uttered the immortal words – “Ladies and Gentleman: The Beatles,” and the rest as they say is History. The funny thing about that moment is, it’s often replayed but I’ve never saw the full […]
Baltimore boy Jimmy Traynor is back with a New Flick – Welcome Home: The Jay Randall Story
One of the major mistakes independent filmmakers always make is that instead of going out and making a movie that’s unique and different they settle for the tired story about breaking into Hollywood. Local Baltimore boy Jimmy Duke Traynor has made dozens of self-financed movies over the last few years, none of which tackled this […]
Glee Season 1, Volume 1: Road to Sectionals DVD is Awesome, Michelle’s Review
I’ll admit I’m a late with my review of Glee Season 1, Volume 1: The Road To Sectionals. I was actually afraid to watch it, Glee was my favorite show of the fall and I honestly didn’t think it’d hold up to repeat viewing, I’m glad to be wrong. I watched a few minutes of […]
