Movie Review: Sherlock Holmes (2009)

Posted on December 26th, 2009 in: Featured, Movies, Mystery, Reviews

When I was nine my father handed me a book that would alter my future forever. This book? A hard-cover, red, un-assuming volume of Sherlock Holmes stories. I was hooked and became a devotee of the third order — a true “Sherlockian” (someone from America who is a fan and scholar of Sherlock Holmes). Holmes [...]

Buy Veronica Mars – The Complete Second Season on Amazon.com
It’s the end of the school day, just before Christmas vacation, and Veronica Mars is severely lacking in holiday cheer. Not even the cafeteria’s Christmas Cake has the power to lift her spirits. Who could blame her? She’s dating Duncan Kane, again. I kid, but seriously, [...]

Buy The Muppet Christmas Carol on Amazon.
My favorite holiday movie (and there are several that I love), The Muppet Christmas Carol is one of the finest examples of the magic that has come from the Muppets, especially in recent years.
Having been a fan of the Muppets for many years now, it’s no surprise that I’m [...]

TV Review: Legend of the Seeker 1×1 & 1×2

Posted on October 27th, 2009 in: Articles, Featured, Reviews, The Legend of the Seeker

Non-Spoilery Review

Legend of the Seeker on the outside might look like just another Xenia or Hercules-style show (which isn’t entirely a bad thing in my opinion) that’s way too campy to be taken seriously (point in fact all three shows are produced by Sam Raimi). Yet the show has a surprisingly awesome cast, beautiful [...]

Watch Project Runway on Lifetime, Thursday nights, 10 pm et/pt.

This season of Big Brother will probably not go down in history as the most strategic, but it may be the most explosive. I was going to write my review on one week, not two, but then things started happening that hadn’t been shown on the show and didn’t think I could review it [...]
