Review: 'Stargate: Atlantis' – Broken Ties

Hello world!

I have a new review for Stargate Atlantis up at SyFy Portal.

Review: 'Stargate: Atlantis' – Broken Ties

Ronon faces the ultimate betrayal, and Teyla must decide her future with the team.

When I first heard the preview this episode, "The unthinkable happens, when Ronon is captured," I couldn't help but roll my eyes. You mean like in "Sateda"? Now that episode rocked, but the preview made it seem like it was retreading over an old storyline. So, I didn't have high hopes for this episode. Thankfully, I was pleasantly surprised... [more]

'Pushing Daisies' Gets Around In Second Season

Hello everyone! I have a new story up at SyFy Portal.

'Pushing Daisies' Gets Around In Second Season

The second season of ABC's fantasy series "Pushing Daisies" is quickly approaching, and it will be taking us to some truly offbeat locations.

"The setting for the first one is in, like, a Burt's Bees massive factory of bee products," Lee Pace (Ned the Piemaker) told Scifi Wire. "The killer is killing people with a swarm of bees. The second episode takes place in the circus. The third episode is at the nunnery."

Co-star Anna Friel (Chuck), who by the way was nominated for a SyFy Genre Award for Best TV Actress, said that the loving couple will be all decked out in beekeeper suits from the very first scene of the first episode... [more]

All 'Heroes' Have A Villain Inside Them

Hello everyone! I have a "Heroes" news story up on the web.

All 'Heroes' Have A Villain Inside Them

Enough with these silly heroes, it's time for the villains to shine. At least that's what the writers of "Heroes" seem to be thinking in regards to the upcoming third season.

Masi Oka (Hiro Nakamura) told SciFi Wire that the third season's subtitle of "Villains" isn't just referring to the bad guys, but also to the little villain inside us all.... [more]

Review: 'Stargate: Atlantis' - The Seed

Hello world!

Here is my review for episode two of season five of "Stargate Atlantis."

Review: 'Stargate: Atlantis' - The Seed

A new commander comes to Atlantis, and an old teammate is brought out of stasis.

Dr. Keller becomes obsessed with finding the formula to heal Dr. Beckett after receiving Michael's research notes from the last episode. But it takes a push from the new boss, Woolsey, to convince her to try it.

Success! Beckett returns to the living, and just in time. Keller has an alien disease that is growing out of her like a plant from a seed. The final product ... a Wraith ship. It looks like everyone who was on Michael's planet from the last episode is infected. So, while the "A Team" is in quarantine, the "B Team" has to find a way to cure Keller... [more]

ABC's 'Life On Mars' Changes More Than Just Accent

Hi everyone! Another day and another story on SyFy Portal.

ABC's 'Life On Mars' Changes More Than Just Accent

The upcoming Americanized version of the British "Life on Mars" television show will go through a number of changes, including location and possibly the very reason that a 21st century police detective finds himself in the 1970s.

The American version changes locations, moving the story to New York instead of Manchester, England. But that isn't the only changes being made. [more]

Until next time... Marx out.

'Lost' Plays Catch Up

I have another story up at SyFy Portal.

'Lost' Plays Catch Up

The writer's strike made a number of science-fiction shows change their original plans for the season. ABC's "Lost" suffered more from the strike than many of the other shows on that network. Instead of airing 17 episodes last season, "Lost" was stopped at 14.

But, ABC Entertainment President Stephen McPherson told SciFi Wire that "Lost" would get to make up for those three episodes that didn't air. [more]

Greetings!

I have a new Stargate Atlantis review up at SyFy Portal.

Review: 'Stargate: Atlantis' - Search And Rescue

Finally, it's time for the premiere of season five of "Stargate: Atlantis." We were left with quite the cliffhanger as the rescue team needed rescuing after a booby trap knocked an entire building on top of them... [more]

Iron Clad Deal For 'Iron Man 2'

It's another day, which means it's time for another story for SyFy Portal.

Iron Clad Deal For 'Iron Man 2'

"Iron Man" blasted away the competition when it hit theaters, making over $98 million on opening weekend and grossing over $ 312 million domestically to date. Needless to say, Marvel Studios is eager to get started on the sequel.

However, the sequel hit a bump when "Iron Man" director Jon Faveau wanted more money. Luckily, according to Dark Horizons, Marvel Studios and Favreau have apparently reached a deal for the sequel scheduled in 2010... [more]

Angel: After the Fall #10

Hello everyone!

I have a new comic book review up at Comics Bulletin.

Angel: After the Fall #10

It's the day after the big fight from last issue and Angel has a bizarre dream. In a scene stylized after comic books of yore, we see a superhero Spike and his side kick Connor saving a woman. In the distance Angel, as an old man, watches on, wishing he still had his vampire powers. Angel snaps awake wishing he would stop eating before bedtime.

Angel is struggling to recover from his injuries and adapting to the new status quo... [more]

Until next time... Marx out.

Kindler: 'Sanctuary' Experiences Creative Regenesis

Happy 4th of July!

Here is a news story I recently did for SyFy Portal.

Kindler: 'Sanctuary' Experiences Creative Regenesis

SciFi Channel has a new show in development for a fall premiere, but you may have already seen it on the Web.

No, this isn't another victim of online piracy; instead it's the Web series "Sanctuary."

But even if you have already seen the eight Webisodes available online, executive producer Damian Kindler guarantees that what is seen on the TV screen will be 98 percent rebooted... [more]

Del Toro: 'The Hobbit 2' Faces Legal Monster

Hi world!

Here is a news story written by me for SyFy Portal.

Del Toro: 'The Hobbit 2' Faces Legal Monster

The legal battles surrounding the world of "The Hobbit" continues ...

Director Guillermo del Toro ("Hellboy," "Pan's Labyrinth") told SciFi Wire about his plans for directing two Lord of the Rings prequel films. The first will be based solely on J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit." The second film will act as a bridge by focusing on events hinted at in the books that led up to Lord of the Rings.

But copyright restrictions limit del Toro to only "The Hobbit" and the three volumes of The Lord of the Rings. That means "The Silmarillion," completed by Tokien's son, which offers backstory and mythology, plus any other Tolkien writings, are off limits... [more]

Until next time... Marx out.

Ultimates 3 #4

Howdy folks!

I have another review up on Comics Bulletin.

Ultimates 3 #4

A good chunk of the team has gone after Magneto, who stole the body of Scarlet Witch. There they join forces with Ka-Zar and Shanna's army. Thor shows off his arsenal of hammers. Wolverine knows something is up with Black Panther. Roboto Iron Man, which is about to attack Wasp, gets trashed by Roboto Captain America who then gets trashed by Ant-Man. Ant-Man reveals a 'Secret Invasion' of robot doubles. Hawkeye is still all suicidal. Thor goes head to head with Magneto and learns that an iron hammer and armor is a bad thing to take to a fight against a mutant with magnetism powers.

Well, before I get into the negative (you know things are going to be bad when I start off like that), I want to start off positive... [more]

Supernatural: Rising Son #3

Hello world!

Here is another one of my reviews on Comics Bulletin. Enjoy!

Supernatural: Rising Son #3

"Your son. He is special." -- Silas

Last time we were left with a cliffhanger of gigantic proportions as John was being attacked by a demonic, colossal humanoid train golem (or something like that), while Sam is having something magical done to him by his demon possessed teacher. Luckily, 12-year old Dean pops up and helps his dad exorcize the demons. John calls his old friend Bobby for a place to stay and a lead on help. It is becoming obvious that the demons see Sam as special. John is determined to find out why... [more]
