Flashforward: Part One Season One
With the last season of Lost upon us, all of the major television networks have either canceled their science fiction/horror shows or are refusing to greenlight any new ones. Like any trend that goes through a cycle, this one has definitely played itself out in the eyes of network executives. The latest casualty may very well be Flashforward which debuted in September 2009 and was put on hiatus during the 2010 Winter Olympics. Whether it will return for a second season remains to be seen. Based loosely on the 1999 novel by science fiction writer Robert J. Sawyer, the show was originally developed at HBO. However, executives there felt that it... Read DVD Review
Howards End: Criterion Collection
Sandwiched between Merchant Ivory hits, A Room with a View (1985) and The Remains of the Day (1993), Howards End (1992) epitomizes the filmmaking duo of Ismail Merchant (producer) and James Ivory (director) at the height of their powers, second to none when it came to elegant literary adaptations.

It’s just a shame that it had to go out with a whimper of a film like Everybody’s... Read DVD Review
Michael Jackson’s This Is It
It’s something of an understatement to say that I’m a big Michael Jackson fan. I don’t just have all of his albums, I have most of the singles – and many of them on 12” vinyl promo. I have an original full set of early 80s Michael Jackson dolls, some of which are boxed. I have a collection of MJ jackets, including a leather Thriller Jacket and the rare Victory Tour jacket. I saw him live... Read DVD Review
Revanche: Criterion Collection
The opening credits for Revanche (2008) play out over an eerie shot of a tree-line reflected in a lake. This serene image is disrupted when something plunges into the water sending out ripples. This image acts as a metaphor for the film as it explores how one act can have an incredible effect that ripples out to change several people. When Alex (Krisch) finds out that his girlfriend Tamara (Potapenko)... Read DVD Review
