Movies I really don’t want you to see
There are 2 movies I really don’t want you to see for the same reason — because they are unfunny adaptations of funny source material. Of course, there are people who disagree with me — who like these movies — but if you trust my judgement please avoid them. {2/5} The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the […]
Batman: Cacophony
{4/5} “My whole life… all of this. It’s all because I never want to see death first-hand again.” A villain who kills superheroes (those who are normal humans) is after Batman. This mysterious person only speaks the sounds of fighting like “pow” and “blam” — one might call him Onomatopoeia. He breaks the Joker out […]
Counting Tadpoles
{4.5/5} “One heard of Flying Box People. They were ignorant, of course, of People’s ways, and did some awful things, not knowing any better. But they seemed to intend friendship. ‘No knowing what harm we may do them in ignorance,’ Levery said to Eblio. Eblio agreed. One could make awful mistakes through ignorance, even among […]
Permanence
{4.5/5} “The mountains were gorgeous, all limpid shadow and fogbound majesty and she found it easy to forget her problems here. Sheer rock walls rose from the plains to ice-capped peaks, sunlit on one side during the artificial day, long shadows sloping into apparent nothingness on the other side. Half the sky was a gorgeous […]
Stargate Atlantis (season 4)
{4.5/5} “Perhaps the future is predetermined by the character of those who shape it.” In “Tabula Rasa” almost everyone gets sick — and the symptoms include amnesia. How will they solve the problem if they can’t remember there’s a problem to solve? In “This Mortal Coil” Sheppard gets a cut that heals immediately, so he […]
Planet of the Apes: The Long War
{4.5/5} “Let me tell you what does make us different. The Lawgiver’s dream. The finest ape that ever lived — my friend — believed that apes and men should live in harmony. I believe in that dream. The problem is that humans don’t. Down deep each man believes that he is superior to you stinking […]
Battlestar Galactica: Complete Omnibus V.1
{5/5} “We have to be strong. They know our weaknesses. And they’ll do anything to exploit them.” The Galactica comes across a ship with humans on it asking for help. But the people on the ship can’t be who they say they are, because they’re all dead — including Zak, Commander Adama’s son. Some suspect […]
Battlefield Earth
“I really look forward to getting back home where you can walk around without a suit or mask, where the gravity gives you something to push against, where everything is a beautiful purple and there’s not one bit of this green stuff. My papa used to tell me that if I wasn’t a good Psychlo […]
Stargate Atlantis (season 3)
{4.5/5} “Nothing renews your appreciation for the military like the threat of invasion from life-sucking aliens.” In “The Return” they discover a ship going by that has Ancients on it — when the Ancients return to Atlantis, they decide to keep it. In “Common Ground” Sheppard is imprisoned next door to a Wraith — they […]
The Dark Knight Rises
{4/5} “A hero can be anyone. Even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a little boy’s shoulders to let him know that the world hadn’t ended.” It’s 8 years after Batman took the fall for the death of Harvey Dent — Bruce Wayne is a recluse in his […]
