When the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons played their preseason game last night, FOX viewers were treated to the 'ultimate' experience. Until now, all field shots were framed in 4x3 and not 16x9 widescreen. This is presumably because the number of people with high-definition televisions was quite low. Now that the adoption rate of high-def televisions has increased quite a bit, FOX made the bold move to improve the viewing experience and I like what they did. It's not ... Read More

I don't do many general opinion pieces anymore, but today just happened to be the day for two of them. After watching a few of these so-called "new" episodes of MythBusters, I've just about had it with Discovery Channel's marketing tactics. In case you haven't seen these, the series is off for the summer, but Discovery has decided to take old episodes, add occasional pop-ups with relevant information, and call them new episodes. I have a problem with the last bit. ... Read More

It isn't every day one of my favorite people is featured in a new series. Dr. Zahi Hawass, the Secretary General of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities, is one of the most famous archaeologists thanks to his books and several documentaries focused on Egypt's fascinating history. It didn't come to much surprise that he would eventually get his own TV series, but I never would have guessed it would turn out so poorly done. The first episode started out with ... Read More

If you're anything like me, Dexter is must-watch viewing at some point in time. I haven't been a subscriber to Showtime in years, which is why I look forward to the opportunity to snag the new Blu-rays each year. The quality is impeccable. It's almost like you're right there in the police station sometimes. Showtime is in an interesting position this year. Head to head against HBO, Showtime seems to be losing some ground. It has held a ... Read More

At this time Buffy The Vampire Slayer was the best thing The WB (now the CW) had to offer. They were getting good reviews from critics and peers. The young teens started to pour in week after week hoping to catch a new hip phrase. Buffy was renewed for a new season and everything was looking up for Joss Whedon. He actually had a hit show. He made a few unforgettable episodes and this was one of them. It begins with Cordelier being ... Read More

So leave it up to The Devil to get Sam and his friends into a dangerous situation. Sam takes his friends (even Andi) on a little road trip to catch a soul which is hiding out in a cute little town which is known for people vacationing on the weekends. The trouble is most of these people are never seen again, swallowed up by a strange soul which lurks in the town's old silver mine. The topic of relationships was brought ... Read More

This episode was supposed to enlighten us on why it was such a bad idea to start rounding up people with special abilities. This episode was supposed to tell us about Angela's sister and her biggest mistake. This episode was to clear up some of the questions that has been lingering in our minds for three seasons. All this episode did was bore me and make me cringe at scenes that weren't suppose to be cringe-worthy.  This episode served its purpose but it ... Read More

You won't often find a whole lot of buzz surrounding this little Sci-Fi Channel hit. Eureka is often overshadowed by both Stargate Atlantis and Battlestar Galactica, yet it manages to hold its own in the ratings department. It's a very different show compared to those two, relying more on comedy than the heavy drama often depicted in say Battlestar Galactica. Anchored by Colin Ferguson, Eureka is a decidedly light-hearted science fiction series which we definitely recommend newcomers checking out. Ferguson ... Read More

You're not going to hear us report on movies very often, but with the X-Files franchise being a television show (and one of our favorites), it's hard to overlook the new movie's debut at the movie theater. Despite the fact that the new film was well advertised (high volume... trailers weren't so good) on television and the Internet (I couldn't visit a site in the past week without seeing an ad for it), the new X-Files film was a flop, bringing in a ...
