This “Dracula” is a romantic tragedy about someone who suffers an unspeakable loss and will now make everyone else pay the price for it.

Here's the list of Democratic demands to fund DHS. These consist of following the law and not letting violent, anonymous, masked thugs roam the streets. Squeaker Johnson and Sen. Britt (R-Cracker) think they're over the top.

Just watched Starfleet Academy episode 4. An abomination. I am appalled at how horrible this show is. They need to fire all the writers, Holly Hunter, Gina Yashere, and Robert Picardo. And I thought Picardo was one of the few saving graces of Voyager.

I know there are a number of my fellow film critics here. Has anyone been offered the opportunity to screen "Melania" prior to Friday's opening?
You know what it says about a movie when they're afraid to preview it for the press.

Trek fan since TOS in '66. "Starfleet Academy" is worst Trek since "Voyager." Hope it gets better but premiere episode is an abomination.

“28 Days Later: The Bone Temple” is a visceral film that will either convince you that a zombie movie can have substance or else make you wonder if the people praising the film are zombies themselves. For the record, this reviewer is definitely in the former camp.

Finished the first draft of my next book, a new collection of pieces on SF movies. Much work to do and unlikely to be out before next year, but a definite milestone. A follow up to my "Jar Jar Binks Must Die."
