And so begins this new series, I’m SOOOOOOOO Lost, dedicated to ticking off the big mysteries behind our favorite show. Ya’ really gotta’ hand the Internet its props. Do you think Alf garnered such fanboy enthusiasm back in the day?
“So, uhhhh, who do you think ate the cat? Me, I say it’s either Gordon Chumway [...]

Well, here we are in the midst of the month-long hiatus between Parts 1 and 2 of this truncated 4th Season of Lost. It could be much worse. Had that Writer’s Strike stretched even a few weeks longer, the last shot we would have had of Season 4 would be Alex betraying her fake Dad.

Once upon a time, I used to write traditional film reviews. It first began in High School where I hadn’t one shred of a clue of how to inform you which movies to see and which to skip. Rather than enter into intelligent discourse on the merits of the film in question, I would just [...]

So now we know how Michael came to be Ben’s mole on the ship. And, in what was a first for the series, almost the entire episode was devoted to his flashback. We needed the extra time as Michael… errr Kevin Johnson… has been a busy guy in the month since he left [...]

It’s a great idea. A good way of offering up a Ten Best List for the [...]

Can you believe we are one episode away from the break - and only six away from season’s end? Where’d the time go?
Well, if I had some minor criticisms last week with the narrative flow, this week all was restored - even if I did feel that the writers employed a narrative cheat in telling [...]

Being sheriff is not easy. Any Western will tell ya’ that.
For starters, he’s always the first one run out of town or the first one shot when the outlaws storm their way in. Sure, the townspeople look up to you, but the second some wily varmint gives them the evil eye, they’ll turn their back [...]

Last year, one of my favorite episodes was ‘Not in Portland’. This was the episode that filled in Juliet’s back story and showed us how the good doctor came to the island. We got to see Ben’s Brave New World through her virgin eyes and really experience the wonder of the island and the community [...]

I love the movies.
Of course, while I don’t get out to see them in the theater like I once did, I do find enough moments to spare in a year to do it up proper. You know. A darkened theater, surrounded by strangers, enjoying the flickering light and shadow projected on the big screen.
That said, there are [...]
