Doctor Who 4.11: Turn Left

Anyone who's seen Sliding Doors is familiar with the premise. A seemingly insignificant decision, maybe even not a decision at all, but a missed opportunity - something small, something you'd never think of twice - and yet, it's a turning point. A point from which a startlingly different life path branches, and the consequences could be monumental.

 

So the case is with Donna Noble, who is thrust back in time by a dodgy fortune teller and a "time beetle" (the less said about the big silly plastic bug, the better); to a literal crossroads, where she turns right, instead of left, as she'd originally done. That decision takes her away from her potential temp job at H.C. Clements, away from Lance, away from the Racnoss... and away from the Doctor.

 

And things only go downhill from there....

The Dark Knight or This is Not Joel Schumacher’s Two-Face

Humina, humina, humina. Two hours sleep and I’m still reeling. I asked the husband on the way in to work this morning when do we get to see it again?? This movie exceeded all expectations and then some. It was better than Batman Begins. It turned Tim Burton's Batman into even more of a joke. It set my standards for movies so high, I'm not quite certain how anything else will ever live up to them.
 
Oh, and they better be working on part three RIGHT NOW!!! (I'm just saying.)
 
The entire cast was brilliant, but I could write a novella about the late Heath Ledger in particular....

Comic Con 2008 is Almost Here!

Let the countdown begin! In seven days, the San Diego Convention Center will open its doors for the annual San Diego Comic-Con International! Who would have thought that the small event hosted back in 1970 would have blossomed into one of the largest conventions in the world? But I for one am certainly pleased that it has, as the convention continues to pull crowds and interest from all over the globe.

The original program was made up of comic book displays, science fiction, fantasy, popular arts, and related films and television series on these genres....

Burn Notice 2.1: Breaking and Entering (Review #2)

The life of an unemployed spy is never boring. If there's one certainty to be garnered from Burn Notice, that's it. When you're not helping people for thousands of dollars, you're driving a friend's borrowed Cadillac into an eighteen-wheeler bound for who-knows-where to find out who burned you.
 
It has been a horribly long wait, a year, give or take, but Michael Westen is back, and, if I may say so, better than ever!...

Doctor Who 4.10: Midnight

What a brilliant, brilliant episode.
 
Just after watching this, I sent an email to a friend of mine. It contained four words:
 
DAMN. THAT WAS INTENSE.
 
And it was. Intense and brilliant. A definite "on the edge of your seat"-type episode, and if I were predisposed to nail-biting, I would have nibbled mine down to nubs (ew, sorry about that visual)....

Burn Notice 2.1: Breaking and Entering (Review #1)

Michael Weston is back, and he’s everything we hoped for over the very long hiatus. USA Network’s Burn Notice returns for a second season this summer, gracing fans with a whopping 16 episodes instead of a measly 11. As far as I’m concerned, the more we get of Michael, the better!
 
The season opener picks up where last year’s finale left off, with Michael stuck in the back of a semi-truck, going somewhere unknown to supposedly meet the true people responsible for black-listing him....

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, Act I

Neil Patrick Harris is Dr. HorribleI didn’t really need to watch it. (And, had I not watched it as soon as I had, I would have had to deal with overloaded servers the rest of the day!) I mean, all I needed to know was that Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion would sing a duet, and I was sold. I didn’t even have to hear it. Doogie Howser and Malcolm Reynolds… singing. Together. As arch nemesis’s. Is anything else truly needed to be said??  
 
Very well. A bit more detail on the opening act of Joss Whedon’s online brilliancy, Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog.  ...

Doctor Who 4.09: Forest Of The Dead

So - all the questions from last week, answered. Mostly. Just who River Song actually is - or, more properly, will be - to the Doctor is still a mystery. But other than that, this episode was a neat tie-up of the loose ends from the first part of the story, with a little wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey business thrown in for good measure.

 

CAL turns out to be Charlotte Abigail Lux, former dying child, saved or damned (you decide) to a half-life as a living mind housed in the world's largest computer with every book ever written for company. Charlotte, bless, had saved all the people - literally - who were in The Library when the Vashta Nerada attacked, the only way she knew how....
