I will confess right now – I have never seen any of the old Doctor Who episodes. I have seen (and greatly enjoy) the new series. But I am not as knowledgeable of the entire arc. Some of the things … Continue reading

I simply don’t get it. This film has absolutely none of the charisma and charm I was expecting after the delightful Grindhouse project. It’s like a joke that stops being funny long before the punchline is reached. Why? Because Rodriguez … Continue reading
