The folks at Fox Home Video are one of the first studios to come out with a Blu-Ray disk that supports the new 1.1 (or picture in picture) spec. One of the things that distinguished HD-DVD was it’s copious use of picture in picture for extra features. For instance on the 300 HD-DVD you could […]

Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem – Sequel Eons Better Than Predecessor!
I went in to Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem expecting a terrible film. After all, the first one [on which I burned a free DVD rental coupon] was hideous beyond belief [so much so that I couldn’t believe that Uwe Boll hadn’t directed it]. I was in the mood for a big screen bonanza of senseless […]

Eureka’s Season Ender is Satisfying. Michelle Alexandria’s Review.
This has been a year of discovery for me and one of those finds has been the quirky Sci-Fi show Eureka. When I met the cast at their Vancouver set, I had no clue what the show was about or even what I was looking at. And it seemed like 75 percent of the assembled […]
Eureka Gets a 3rd Season!
One of television’s quirkest shows gets a S3 order. Originally I couldn’t quit get into the series, but after visiting the set, and meeting with the cast, I’ve come around. It took a bit to grow on me, but I’m starting to get into it, it’s nice to see it get the pickup. Here’s the […]
Fall TV Preview
If there’s one word that can be used to describe this season’s new TV series, it’s risky. Just as a start, we have a remake of a ’70s series reimagined as the story of a woman unsure of her place in the world [Bionic Woman], a musical mystery series [Viva Laughlin] and a series about […]
Resident Evil: Extinction Is Not Bad. Michelle Alexandria’s Review!
I’m a gamer and have covered the game industry for as long as I covered the film industry and just like the film industry I have a tendency to go my own way and be contrarian. When the Resident Evil series first launched and everyone raved about the game, I was the lone voice that […]
