Movie Review: Horrible Bosses
by Gary Sernaker, Reporter
Horrible Bosses is not a horrible comedy, it’s just a horrible example of how comedies are hobbled together today. There are some yuks, but not enough to sustain the laugh-out-loud quotient that should have been an easy mark to obtain, considering this movie’s all-star cast.

Blu-Ray Review: Red Riding Hood: Alternate Cut
by Erin Hatch, Editor-At-Large
Now you can get your copy of Red Riding Hood: Alternate Cut available on Blu-ray/DVD/Digital Download combo pack!
I was prepared to write a truly scathing review of Red Riding Hood. Honestly, I wanted to relish this, to really tear into it, to say that it was total dreck and that watching the film was a pain in the neck and a waste of my time, so it should be taken as an enormous complement when I say that I am a little bit disappointed that this movie wasn’t as horrible as I expected it to be. In fact, there were several moments that I thought were actually good. I’ll admit, I might have pre-drank a little too much, and thus enjoyed the movie more than I would have sober.

Movie Review: Transformers: Dark of the Moon
by Caleb Paullus, Media Editor
Just when I thought I couldn’t get enough explosions and Sexy Autobot Action, Michael Bay graces me with the next installment, Transformers: Dark of the Moon. In this blasterpiece (see what I did there?), we are introduced to a plethora of new Autobots and Decepticons, a sexy new girlfriend, explosions, and the epic voice of Leonard Nimoy. I guarantee* you will enjoy this movie a million times more than the second Transformers film.

DVD Review: Doctor Who “Frontios” and “Time and the Rani”
by Erin Hatch, Editor-at-Large
After my adventures reviewing two sets of classic Doctor Who episodes from the Jon Pertwee years, I hopped in my TARDIS and jumped forward to the mysterious 1980’s to look at an another two recently released Who story arcs: “Frontios” from 1984, starring Peter Davison, and “Time and the Rani” from 1987, with Sylvester McCoy as the Doctor, which are now available to own on DVD!
TV Review: Futurama “Neutopia” and “Benderama”
by Kroze Kresky, Media Editor
The show that was once canceled and then reborn as a set of DVD movies and then brought back as a full series returns again for another season of high tech futuristic wacky hijinx! That’s right, tonight is the return of Futurama on Comedy Central with two all brand new episodes starring our favorite bunch of lovable space delivery misfits. The real question is can the series still meet our expectations in terms of the level of hilarity we expect from this series.

DVD Review: Challenge of the Gobots: The Original Miniseries
by Erin Hatch, Editor-at-Large
If you were a child in the 1980’s, and have participated in Geek culture at any time since, it is possible that you have encountered a very silly debate between fans of the popular Transforming-Robot series, Transformers, and the not-quite-so-popular, Transforming-Robot series, Gobots. It is a fairly useless debate, as Gobots fans generally stress that Gobots came first, while Transformers fans counter with the fact that Transformers wasn’t a pile of crap. But who is correct? Now we can find out, with the release of the miniseries that started it all: Challenge of the Gobots: The Original Miniseries now on DVD!
DVD Review: Spider-Woman: Agent of S.W.O.R.D.
by Erin Hatch, Editor-at-Large
Never judge a DVD by its cover. That is probably the primary lesson that I learned from Spider-Woman: Agent of S.W.O.R.D. You see, I assumed that the DVD for Spider-Woman contained an animated movie that did something interesting with Spider-Woman, who doesn’t seem to be all that popular among fans. I’d seen her featured in interesting roles in the Avengers comics a while back, but never really sympathized with her character, so I just assumed that this movie would be a good chance to get to know the character in her post-Invasion incarnation.
But this isn’t a movie, it is a motion comic, and it would be unfair to judge this motion comic by movie standards, right? So, let’s start over.
DVD Review: Stargate Universe: The Complete Final Season (Season Two)
by Kroze Kresky, Media Editor
Every mission has a destiny… and apparently this mission’s destiny was to end long before its time was up. Stargate Universe: The Complete Final Season (aka Season Two) was both a blessing and a curse for sci-fi fans, as the season really ramped up the epic journey of Col. Young, Lt. Scott, Eli, Chloe and Dr. Rush, seeing them delve into deeper and darker territory than any Stargate series ever had. This darker setting made it one of the most captivating and interesting series that the franchise ever produced, breathing new life into previously generic sci-fi situations.
