Stars: Peter Capaldi, Jenna Coleman, Tom Riley, Ben Miller Writer: Mark Gatiss Director: Paul Murphy   Original Telecast: September 6, 2014 Network: BBC America “Robot of Sherwood” is the third adventure in this new season/ series of DOCTOR WHO, and now we’re really picking up steam as far as seeing who this new Doctor (Peter Capaldi) is. We’ve had bits and pieces of his personality and his idiosyncratic routines in the past couple of episodes, but this one really feels like we’re getting a solid look at The Doctor as he is now. The basic premise of this episode is […]Read On »

As TEEN WOLF wraps up Season 4 on MTV Monday night with an extended season finale, the series once again builds toward multiple story strands, potential deaths for beloved characters (or maybe not) and the continual evolution of Scott [Tyler Posey] becoming a true Alpha. The finale finds Scott in Mexico about to become a Berserker, his friends valiantly searching for him, Peter Hale (Ian Bohen) wanting Scott dead and former Hunter turned werewolf Kate Argent (Jill Wagner) doing bad things for her own still unclear agenda. That’s only the tip of the iceberg of stories vying for air time. […]Read On »

Movie Review: INNOCENCE

Rating: PG-13 Stars: Sophie Curtis, Kelly Reilly, Graham Phillips, Linus Roache Writers: Tristine Skyler and Jane Mendelsohn, based on her novel Director: Hilary Brougher Distributor: Scion Pictures Release Date: September 5, 2014 “Adequate” is probably not a designation most filmmakers seek, but it seems the best word to describe INNOCENCE. Based on Jane Mendelsohn’s 2001 YA novel, with a screenplay by Tristine Skyler and Mendelsohn, INNOCENCE sails serenely along as though no one had ever before made a movie about sinister doings at a high-end high school. This attitude of, well, innocence serves INNOCENCE moderately well for the most part. […]Read On »

Blu-ray Review: WITHOUT WARNING

WITHOUT WARNING Blu-ray | ©2014 Shout! Factory

Stars: Jack Palance, Martin Landau, Tarah Nutter, Christopher S. Nelson, Cameron Mitchell, Neville Brand, Sue Ane Langdon, Ralph Meeker, Larry Storch Writer: Lyn Freeman, Daniel Grodnick, Ben Mett, Steve Mathis Director: Greydon Clark Suggested Retail Price: $26.99 Distributor: Shout! Factory WITHOUT WARNING is one of those oddball 1980 films that was released under different titles and different artwork as it rolled across the nation during platform releases, and like many films that did that, it’s hard to remember exactly what the film was about and which film it is. In most of the posters, there’s an alien on the front […]Read On »

TV Review: DOCTOR WHO – Series 8 – “Into the Dalek”

Peter Capaldi as The Doctor vs. the Dalek in DOCTOR WHO - Series 8 | ©2014 BBC/BBC Worldwide/Ray Burmiston

Stars: Peter Capaldi, Jenna Coleman, Zawe Ashton, Michael Smiley, Samuel Anderson, Nicholas Briggs Writer: Steven Moffat & Phil Ford Director: Ben Wheatley  Original Telecast: August 30, 2014 Network: BBC America The first episode of DOCTOR WHO where a new regeneration of The Doctor is introduced is always a bit of a dicey phase. The Doctor is never really who is he is going to be with his new face, and you kind of have to get around all of the more unstable parts of his personality post regeneration. The second episode following a regeneration is typically where we really get […]Read On »

Blu-ray Review: PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE Collector’s Edition

PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE Collector's Edition Blu-ray | ©2014 Shout! Factory

Stars: Paul Williams, William Finley, Harold Oblong, George Memmoli, Archie Hahn, Jeffrey Comanor, Gerrit Graham, Jessica Harper Writer-Director: Brian De Palma Suggested Retail Price: $29.93 Distributor: Shout! Factory The 1970s, we sure do miss you. That era of experimentation and filmmaking ownership is sadly a thing of the past, but the movies still remain and every now and again a reissue reminds you of how crazy brilliant that era was. PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE was writer-director Brian De Palma’s comedic musical take on the PHANTOM OF THE OPERA legend. Very quirky, stylish and campy, it’s very different from the suspense […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Perdita Weeks, Ben Feldman, Edwin Hodge, Francois Civil, Marion Lambert, Ali Marhyar, Cosme Castro Writers: John Erick Dowdle & Drew Dowdle Director: John Erick Dowdle Distributor: Universal Release Date: August 29, 2014 One has to hand it to AS ABOVE, SO BELOW. Not only is it the first horror movie to make such extensive use of the real catacombs below the city of Paris, but it’s not often that you hear a character in a stressful situation – in any genre – ask, “Is this before or after Copernicus?” Scarlett (Perdita Weeks), the protagonist in AS ABOVE, […]Read On »

Rating: R Stars: Pierce Brosnan, Luke Bracey, Olga Kurylenko, Bill Smitrovich, Amila Terzimehic, Lazar Ristovski, Caterina Scorsone, Will Patton Writers: Michael Finch & Karl Gajdusek, based on the book THERE ARE NO SPIES by Bill Granger Director: Roger Donaldson Distributor: Relativity Release Date: August 27, 2014 If a film centers on a former secret agent who was the best ever and is famed among his peers for knowing every trick in the book, casting Pierce Brosnan pretty much guarantees that the audience will immediately give credence to this part of the set-up. In THE NOVEMBER MAN, Brosnan plays Peter Devereaux, […]Read On »

Stars: Rory Calhoun, Paul Linke, Nancy Parsons, Nina Axelrod, Wolfman Jack Writer: Robert Jaffe, Steven-Charles Jaffe Director: Kevin Connor Suggested Retail Price: $29.93 Distributor: Shout! Factory Of all the now cult 1980s movies, MOTEL HELL stands out as one of the craziest, strangest, funniest and most inventive. This 1980 horror flick which owes greatly to THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE has not been treated well on home video – its last incarnation on DVD it was paired up as a Midnite Movies no frills double feature with DERANGED. Once again Shout! Factory outdoes themselves with their re-release of cult gems and […]Read On »

Doctor, Peter Capaldi. As the newly regenerated Timelord stumbled around the control room of his TARDIS and asked his companion Clara (Jenna Coleman) if she had any idea how to fly the time and space ship. That was it. That was all. There were a handful of photographs released, and yes there was […]Read On »
