TV Review: Supernatural – “Frontierland”

Written by Kroze Kresky

During the third season of Supernatural, head show-runner Eric Kripke started plotting out a spinoff to his hit series, while delving deep into his own mythos – chronicling the adventures of the first Hunter, Samuel Colt. Kripke felt there was so much that could be done with a Supernatural series set in the old wild west, bringing about a new feel to the genre.

Now here we are, three whole seasons later, and fans finally get a glimpse of Kripke’s vision as Sam and Dean do a little bit of time traveling back to the old days in order to find and hunt a phoenix.

TV Review: Nikita – “Covenant”


Nikita has been a fairly inconsistant show since it began, but recently it has started to become a bit more solid. “Covenant” helps continue the consistency with a pretty interesting mid-season break return episode. This episode features the murkily-alligned Michael and his previous relationship to Nikita.


Nikita is going after the black boxes she so desperately desires once again, and to do so, she needs to capture drug lord Kasim (who has quite the past history with Michael… who wants him dead for what he has done), and trade him to Michael for one of the aformentioned black boxes. This plan quickly goes south when Kasim is not all what he seems to be (As no one really is in this show).

Blu-ray Review: Firebreather

 
Cartoon Network has been very hit-or-miss when it comes to creating new animated franchises. Who can forget such classics as the ingenious Megas XLR or Samurai Jack, but who wants to remember such bombs as Squirrel Boy? Firebreather, Cartoon Network’s newest experiment, falls into the latter of the aforementioned groups. Primed to be a backdoor pilot for an ongoing series, and CN’s first full CGI film, Firebreather is a very interesting specimen, and it is now available on Blu-ray.

DVD Review: Doctor Who- The Seeds of Doom

Doctor Who: The Seeds of Doom is now available for you to own on DVD!

The long-running British Sci-fi tv series, Doctor Who, has had its ups and downs over the 60 plus years it has been running. But many Classic Who fans seem to agree that Tom Baker, who became the fourth Doctor after Jon Pertwee’s run, is considered the “Golden Age” of Doctor Who, bringing with it a number of timeless stories and memorable characters as well as the return of the popular third Doctor companion (who now stars in her own spinoff show), Sarah Jane Smith.

Blu-ray Review: Hereafter

 
Death, and what happens after we die, is a very deep (and common) question that remains a big mystery for all of us. Is there anything out there? Is there any way for us to possibly know? These are the questions posed in Hereafter, the new release from director Clint Eastwood and Warner Bros Pictures.
 
We are treated to three (barely) intertwined stories about three lives being affected by death and how the characters deal with it. Matt Damon plays a retired psychic who has turned away from his gift of talking with the deceased. A French television reporter named Marie (Cécile de France), who is covering a news story in Thailand, gets caught up in a tsunami and can’t escape.
