We are coming

Torchwood: Children of Earth follows the surviving team of Captain Jack Harkness, Gwen Cooper and Ianto Jones battling the British Government when all the children on the planet come under alien influence. The series has an explosive first episode (quite literally) and the remaining 4 episodes become very dark very quickly. The supporting cast is superb, and the 456 are as scary a villian as the Daleks. As with the end of the second series, Children of Earth ends with the characters making some unbelieveable sacrifices, including the loss of a major character. And Gwen finally answers the question, "Why doesn't the Doctor always show up to save the day?"
What's great about it: Best Torchwood Series
What's not so great: No Martha Jones

Worthy Attempt
on April 16, 2009
Posted by: blaidddrwg
from Colorado Springs
First off, the movie is based on H.P. Lovecraft's "The Shadow over Innsmouth" not "Call of Cthulhu" which I assumed before watching. After reading the novella, the plot made a lot more sense. The storyline of the movie seemed to go in multiple directions and it was a bit too confusing. The atmosphere of the movie was just as haunting as Lovecraft's prose, and the Shoggaff's were as grotesque as I had imagined. The ending was brilliant until the final scene of the movie which was a major disappointment. Definitely read the novella before watching the movie.
What's great about it: Beautiful cinematography
What's not so great: Plot lacked cohesion

Zombies of the World Unite
on January 31, 2009
Posted by: blaidddrwg
from Colorado Springs
Eccentric film director Medea makes an underground movie about the prejudice faced by a new population of zombies. Her star is Otto, a recently zombified young man lost in the streets of Berlin. The film hilariously cuts between Medea's insanity/genius and Otto struggling to unlive in the hectic city. After unsuccessfully trying to reconcile with his ex-boyfriend, hiding from his family, and avoiding the temptations of devouring human flesh, Otto throws himself into his new acting career. The soundtrack is amazing, the dialouge is brilliant, and the gore is left to a very tasteful minimum.
What's great about it: Hilarious Zombie Action
What's not so great: Otto eating a stray cat

A pressing need to save the world
on January 9, 2009
Posted by: blaidddrwg
from Colorado Springs
Murray Gold and Ben Foster outdo themselves again this year with the series 4 Doctor Who soundtrack. The cd contains the 2008 version of the Doctor Who theme and the Doctor's Theme. "A Pressing Need to Save the World" is perhaps the best song, mixing elements of "All the Strange, Strange Creatures", "This is Gallifrey", and the various characters themes. "Hanging on the Tablaphone", the music used during the subwave network scene could have been longer. Unfortunately, this cd is not as long as the first two but excellent none the less.
What's great about it: Original music
What's not so great: Not as long as the previous two soundtracks

This is the story of how Rose died...
on December 18, 2008
Posted by: blaidddrwg
from Colorado Springs
In this series, Rose and the newly regenerated Doctor meet up with veteran companions Sarah Jane Smith and K-9, discover Cybermen on a parallel Earth, and battle Dalek Sek and the Cult of Skaro. David Tennant is perfect as the Doctor, bringing a nice eccentric balance to Christopher Eccleston's intense portrayal of the last of the Time Lords. This series also launched two successful spin-offs; John Barrowman as Captain Jack Harkness in "Torchwood" and Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith in "The Sarah Jane Adventures".
What's great about it: David Tennant shines as Doctor #10

Fantastic!

Posted by: blaidddrwg

My only exposure to Doctor Who growing up were the occassional reruns aired on PBS. When the series began airing on the SciFi Channel in 2006, I was immediately hooked. Although the special effects are light years ahead of the original series, the writers and actors respect for the show make it more than just a revival. From the first time the TARDIS engines churn to the Dalek standoff to Christopher Eccleston's regeneration into David Tennant, you feel like the Doctor's return was long overdue. Even if Britney Spear's "Toxic" is considered Earth's greatest masterpiece 5 billion years in the future.
What's great about it: Rose Tyler, Captain Jack Harkness, the Time War
What's not so great: Christopher Eccleston left too soon

Be Careful What You Wish For...
on November 18, 2008
Posted by: blaidddrwg
David Tennant and Freema Agyeman provide the voices for the Doctor and Martha Jones as they race space pirate Balthazar (Anthony Head) and his robot parrot Caw to find the Infinite, a ship lost from the Dark Times rumored to grant its occupants theur heart's greatest desire. The animation is decent and I hope they introduce some of the characters and alien species into the actual series. The ending perfectly foreshadows the end of Series 3; it's pretty obvious what the Doctor wants most in the universe, but maybe he should have been a little more specific
What's great about it: Action packed plot

A Haunting Look at What Could Be
on September 20, 2008
Posted by: blaidddrwg
A bleak and somewhat disturbing look at what could happen to the planet if humans suddenly disappear. The documentary is loaded with amazing special effects of the triumphs of human engineering slowly erasing from existence. Beginning with the first few hours after the inexplicable extinction of mankind and ending several hundred thousand years later, we see the entire world being reclaimed by nature. It does become a little depressing, but very much worth the experience of what could very possibly happen in the not to distant future
What's great about it: Incredible special effects
What's not so great: Theoretical flying cats

Whatever happened to Sarah Jane?
on September 20, 2008
Posted by: blaidddrwg
After her reunion with the Doctor, Sarah Jane resumes her investigation of all things paranormal, this time with her son Luke and his friends Maria and Clyde along for the ride. The series is presented in half hour serials and shows the worlds of Doctor Who and Torchwood from a teenager's perspective. In the first season, the gang encounters the Slitheen family survivors, stops an evil soft drink company from enslaving the world, and finds out what would happen if Sarah Jane never met the Doctor.
What's great about it: Return to the classic Doctor Who format
What's not so great: Not enough K-9
