This flick is tits (i.e. that means it’s pretty fuckin’ entertaining). By Spence D October 12, 2002 I must admit that I was muy apprehensive about seeing The Transporter, especially given the fact that it is the creation of the same folks responsible for the utterly inane, roiling piece of shit action dud Kiss of the Dragon. Same producer, same screenwriter, same…
Read More »For many, the end of the series is only the beginning of the journey. By Rachel De Nys May 19, 2003 Every aficionado knows that Buffy the Vampire Slayer is more than just a TV show. It’s an ideology, an attitude, a way of life that has, sometimes to a scary extent, hit us on a pretty heavy emotional level. Whether it’s…
Read More »Sarah imparts a few life lessons learned whilst covering her favorite show ever. By Sarah Kuhn May 20, 2003 So. Seven years of bitching and gushing and kickin’ it with Goop Buddy and it all ends here. I’m packing away all of my best nicknames (so long, Backstreet Riley! Nice knowin’ ya, Adam of Borg!) and bidding farewell to Sunnydale….
Read More »Top Ten Things You Need To Know Before The End. By Diana Estigarribia March 10, 2003 With so many things coming to a head in “Hot to Katratzi,” and so little time left, I think it’s time to praise, condemn, and perhaps predict a thing or two about what is sure to be the proverbial stunning conclusion. There’s only one…
Read More »These are precious times, ladies and gentleman. By Matt Springer December 19, 2002 The Two Towers is a beautiful movie. It is many other things. The action is tremendous; the drama is charged; the humor is surprising. But what is perhaps most impressive, given that we know the story to be rich and the skills of Peter Jackson and his team…
Read More »The world is definitely doomed. By Matt Springer May 23, 2003 Picture him if you will: A green, decidedly unscrawny young lad, all of 22 spankin’ years old, staring down his 23rd birthday with nothing to show for his existence except a stack of crap he wrote in college and four longboxes of nineties’ comic books. (Including eight copies of X-Factor #1,…
Read More »Gotham Girls. By Diana Estigarribia October 10, 2002 Birds of Prey pick up where Batman left off, and it’s one step forward for girl power and two steps backward for genre TV. While there’s enough to keep you watching, the show doesn’t quite resonate yet. This is mostly due to a really dumb plot and some bad acting, plus those annoying…
Read More »Mulder Jr. as a metahuman. By Diana Estigarribia October 24, 2002 “Prey for the Hunter” focuses on a killer loose in New Gotham who’s targeting metahumans. Helena is pissed that this dude is knocking off su gente so she takes it personal. Meanwhile, Dinah starts high school and finds she doesn’t fit in. (Aww, I hate it when that happens to a…
Read More »Scully, your son must die. By Diana Estigarribia March 05, 2002 Carter and Company tackle another of the remaining questions in The X-Files mytharc–i.e., just what the heck did Scully give birth to?–in the opener of a fast-paced edge-of-seater. You may have wondered what ever happened to that spacecraft discovered by Scully on her little African jaunt a while back. Well, seems…
Read More »There is no spoon. Only talking. By Matt Springer May 15, 2003 The Matrix Reloaded is so fucking cool. Totally, completely, and seriously, dudes and dudettes. This is an AWESOME movie. The action sequences are universally magnificent. The special effects are light years beyond the first Matrix. Once the story locks in, it’s a ride that drags you through peril after peril,…
