I just got back from Hamilton where yesterday I saw Tool live.
First things first. The bus system is stupid. The last bus out of town is at 8:00 pm, which was when the opening band went on stage. So, there was no chance I could catch it. So, after a long night of visiting reletives in the area, Ted and I made the hour...

It seems to me that most television shows are conceived of in stasis. The basic premise is supposed to drag out and stay interesting through the entire run of the show. Most shows seem to actively resist any form of change. I was incredibly impressed by episodes like the second season finale of Batlestar Galactica (new). Though I don't think that the show is as...

Third post today. wow. This time I am here to review the pilot for Burn Notice. I am very pleasently surprised. It was a little too long for its own good, but it introduced several interesting characters and a mystery which promises development, which is very important to me in a tv show. I watched it specifically for Bruce Campbell, and he was good, but...

Jaws 1-4
I don't much like Steven Spielberg. He feels the need to constantly reaffirm traditional family values and the importance of the family unit. It can be really annoying. Jaws was better than most of his films, though. The first half of the film is much as expected. Family values in the face of crises and political corruption, incompetence etc. However, the film...

I decided to post some retrospective thoughts.
Clive Barker's the Hellbound Heart
This marked my first introduction to the writing of Clive Barker. I had two expectations for this book, and neither was accomplished, yet it was still impressive. I had been expecting a detailed description and explanation of the Cenobites, which I partially recieved. There was some insight, but they were clearly different visions...

Hwa!! I am from Zeta Gundam, and I make all interjections with my fists!!
I spent the last few days watching Heroes.I have some serious complaints to make. This show was completely lacking in originality. The characters were nothing more than variations of existing comic characters. They were thrust together in an awkward world which felt more like a fanfiction than a genuine television series. Since so few archetypes and superpowers have not been prevalent in comics in some...

A couple of weeks ago I watched Inland Empire. I decided to finally post my thoughts.
First off, my understanding of the film is based on my interpretation of Rabbits. Rabbits is a series of plotless short films about a family of Rabbits. Scenes from Rabbits actually appear in the film. The characters are repeatedly interupted by the outside world, yet it has no impact...

First off, I'm new in the neighbourhood. I'm not expecting anyone to ever read this, so it is essentially going to be used as an archive for my thoughts. Anyway, I saw 28 Weeks Later last weekend, and thought I would compile my response. If anyone does read this, there are spoiulers ahead.
