At least, she is in the fairytale inspired novel Cinder by Marissa Meyer. When I picked up this book I figured it was going to be your usual fairy tale adaptation. They are pretty common these days. Once Upon A Time on ABC does it with a campy, family friendly flare that’s really gotten […]
The Impossible Girl: Who is Clara Oswald?
“Run, you clever boy. And remember.” With just a week left until the mid-season premiere of Doctor Who, Easter Saturday can’t come quickly enough. The autumn episodes of series 7 saw the tearful farewell of the Ponds, but not three months later Whovians were thrust back into the world of […]
Cult: The Kiss Recap
An on-set party for Cult fans goes horribly wrong. Shocking, I know. After getting a lead on a fan named Dustin, who appears in a photograph with Nate that’s posted on Nate’s Cult wall, Jeff accompanies Skye to the Cult bash of the year. Select fans who were able to […]
The Vampire Diaries: Because The Night Recap
This week on TVD, Lexi returns! Not really, but Arielle Kebbel does make a reappearance as Lexi in the late 1970’s, trying to help out Damon while he goes on a bender in New York. As the episode starts, a pan over Manhattan reminds me more of Gossip Girl than […]
“I want to be a great one…”
OZ: The Great and Powerful Perhaps not this time around but… Overall not bad. This movie was definitely what I’d call a popcorn muncher. You sit down not expecting anything great and drink soda and popcorn (Harkins, thank god for your loyalty cups and shirts) and be visually wowed for […]
Bates Motel: First You Dream, Then You Die Recap
The second of three serial killer-related programs beginning this year and the first of two based on previously established stories, Bates Motel is a modern day prequel to the film Psycho. This works because Psycho is a story that ages well. It doesn’t really matter what era Norman Bates grew […]
Ashes, Ashes We All Fall Down…
Everyone knows that fast moving zombies are the most terrifying of all the zombies. I don’t think we quite realized that, though, until the Dawn of the dead remake came out and introduced us to those most terrifying of creatures. And then 28 Days Later came. Then 28 Weeks Later. […]
Star Trek’s New Trailer Reminiscent of Avengers
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=yhz4A5BCMAA] A newly released trailer for Star Trek gives us a look into the oncoming summer blockbuster of Star Trek: Into Darkness. As Sam pointed out in her article earlier this year, there were a few similarities we saw in Benedict Cumberbatch’s John Harrison to Tom Hiddleston’s Loki Laufeyson. I […]
Bones: The Doom in the Gloom Recap
So following my three day cramming session, I’m finally able to put up a review for Bones! It’s a typical episode for the gang, as another murder mystery happens in which a marine is killed by an extreme blast of dragonfire explosives. Once again we have Brennan being a scientisty-crime […]
Supernatural: Goodbye Stranger Recap
Castiel, Crowley, and Meg were all back this week, and boy was it good to see them. I giggled out loud, I nearly cried, and I remembered why people have been calling this season “season gr8.” What’s a better post-hiatus kick-off than having Cas kill Dean? How about showing that […]
