Review| Hardcore Henry
Billed as a wildly-innovative, first-person shooter film, Hardcore Henry is a film that certainly lives up to its title. It is hardcore in almost every sense of the word. The action is nonstop and pulse-pounding; the violence is gratuitous and over-the-top; The…
Review| Superman Returns
I imagine that when people say “I’m going to watch Superman tonight!” they are never referring to Superman Returns (I also doubt they are referring to Superman III, but that isn’t what this review is about). Honestly, from the first…
Who-ology| S02E07 The Idiot’s Lantern
In an effort to take Rose to see Elvis perform in a New York TV studio in the 50’s, the Doctor instead—of course—lands them in London 1953, on the day before the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. But the Doctor and…

The “girl” in our title is the renown Madame de Pompadour of eighteenth century France. Known to us in this episode as Reinette, we are given a window (or several, as you will see) into both her life and inner…
Who·ology #025 – S10E00 The Husbands of River Song
It may simply be coincidence, but I find the current airing schedule of a Doctor Who season to be quite fitting. There’s so much buildup beforehand, lots of ups and downs throughout, an often spectacular conclusion, and then we’re left…
Who-ology| S02E03 School Reunion
There’s a lot going on in “School Reunion”, but it all adds up to the same thing, best expressed in the episode by a former (quite beloved) TARIDS traveler: companion Sarah Jane Smith, played by the late Elisabeth Sladen. As…
Who·ology #024 – S09E12 Hell Bent
