“I do have one question Megatron…Why are we called Decepticons?”
Blu-ray Review: Primeval – Volume 3
by Kroze Kresky, Media Editor
Over the past few years, the Brits have given us some amazing sci-fi shows, which we have been lacking a lot in recently over here in the Americas. Shows like Doctor Who and Primeval have become BBC America’s bread and butter. Primeval Vol. 3 is comprised of Series 4 and Series 5 of Primeval, which has gained so much of a following in the US that BBC America is helping to co-fund production on the show.

Movie Review: Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol
by Kroze Kresky, Media Editor
Normally fourth installments of film series end up being stale, boring rehashes of what has come before. Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol had a lot of things going against it, but much like the Ethan Hunt and his team pulling off the impossible time and time again, this movie- against all odds- ends up being the best of the series and one of the most entertaining movies of the holiday season.
DVD Review: Transformers Prime – Darkness Rising
by Matt Sernaker, Managing Editor
The war between the Autobots and the Decepticons starts again for a new generation as the hit computer-animated series, Transformers Prime, makes its way home in the special DVD release of the mini-series Darkness Rising. The original 5 part premiere of this new Transformers installment has been re-cut with additional footage to make it feel like a full theatrical experience. This new series was developed by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, (two of the men behind the live action Transformers movie franchise) and while that fact might concern some fans, Transformers Prime is a show that definitely blows away all expectations and is a series to be reckoned with!
Movie Review: Hugo
by Ryan Ocular, Guest Reviewer
Hugo is a superb film that offers more than viewers might expect. You would expect it to be about Hugo and his adventure to get an automaton working. However, the movie heads into an unexpected arc as captivating as Hugo’s. To avoid spoiling the magic of the film, I will refrain from exposing it. There is also a note of concern for parents as the second arc becomes serious and dark. I would suggest this film for 9 year olds and older so they can understand and appreciate it more. Nonetheless, it is a masterful movie experience.
Movie Review: The Muppets
by Matt Sernaker, Managing Editor
It’s time to play the music
It’s time to light the lights
The new Muppet movie is entirely awesome
And we’re reviewing it tonight!
Blu-ray Review: Super 8
Super 8, the newest film from the mind of LOST creator J.J. Abrams and Sci-Fi mastermind Steven Spielberg, is now available for you to own in a special Blu-ray/DVD combo pack!
So, what is Super 8 and why do you need to watch it? Imagine E.T. The Extraterrestrial and Cloverfield, mash them together with a dash or two of awesome special effects. This movie is a solid win for Paramount Studios and Amblin Entertainment (who also made E.T.), as it allowed audiences to experience a great take on the science fiction genre, with the pleasant addition of a genuine, feel good story and believable cast of characters from an 80’s movie.
