{3.5/5} “You’re right. If only we had a magical tool that could slow down time. I foolishly left mine on Earth — did you bring yours?” Stargate Atlantis season 1, aired in 2004-05 I watched all of Stargate SG-1 last year so I thought I’d check out the rest of the Stargate franchise before moving […]
{4.5/5} “Bobby’s not stupid… but I’m a whole lot smarter.” Dallas premiere, aired in 2012 As I said, I won’t normally review single episodes of TV series, but I’ll make an exception for a series premiere.

Bonobos and chimpanzees are members of the same genus — the last common ancestor of the two species was probably around a million years ago.

When movies started coming out in 3D, for the first while I saw something in 3D if it was available — The Adventures of Tintin, Alice in Wonderland, A Christmas Carol, Coraline, Despicable Me, How to Train Your Dragon, Up. But the only movie where the 3D was significant was Avatar — the other movies would […]
{4.5/5} “Even if it is an alien invasion, they’re four foot high, blind and got kicked to death by a bunch of kids. We got nothing to worry about.” Attack the Block, released in 2011 Moses is the leader of a gang of teenagers in London. They start the evening by mugging a woman named […]
