| The Doctor Who TARDISblend 37: Night Terrors Posted: 10 Sep 2011 07:37 PM PDT  Series Six of Doctor Who continues, and begins with the Doctor receiving a mysterious message via the Psychic Paper asking to be "saved from the monsters." Along with companions Amy Pond (Karen Gillan) and Rory Williams (Arthur Darvill), the trio trace the message to a multi-story set of flats in a council estate area of England, where they find the young boy who sent the plea of his fears across the cosmos: George (Jamie Oram). But as the Doctor begins investigating the strange case of George, Amy, and Rory disappear and find themselves in a mysterious wooden Victorian home being chased by creepy "life-size" wooden dolls with malicious intents. The deeper the trio delve into the confusion, the more they discover the horrible truth: George's monsters are real. But where are they coming from? During TARDISblend 36, we review the events of Night Terrors, a return to form for writer Mark Gatiss. Within the episode itself, we look especially closely at Smith's flawless performance as The Doctor, evoking elements of previous Doctors, in a manner that made it his own, looking upon the galaxy with the old eyes of a Time Lord [...]            This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| The Torchwood TARDISblend 36: The Gathering Posted: 10 Sep 2011 05:10 PM PDT  Torchwood: Miracle Day continues and finds our heroes separated across the world, until one chance meeting with Oswald Danes (Bill Pullman) forces the team to reunite and begin to ask the tough question: What is The Blessing? As they dig deeper, their questions will take them to separate poles of the Earth where they discover that the blood of Jack Harkness (John Barrowman) may have more to do with The Blessing and The Miracle than they previously had thought. During TARDISblend 36, we review the events of The Gathering, and find ourselves less than enthused about the episode's inclusion of elements unconnected to the Blessing and the Miracle, such as the Nazi-style Welsh police trackdown of Gwen Cooper's (Eve Myles) father, Geraint (William Thomas). Later, we deconstruct Oswald Danes' arrival in Wales to confront Gwen, another aspect of the episode that felt somewhat out of place. We also discuss the significance of Jack's blood thus far in the series, and speculate with some predictions on where this thread will go for the season finale. Finally we throw in a few Classic Torchwood UK recommendations for new fans to check out, and find out what our listeners recently had to say about the podcasts. All this and more on the latest TARDISblend! [...]      This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

Well, here's a handy little breakdown of all the titles that are on sale [...]      |
| Book Review: Children of Paranoia Posted: 10 Sep 2011 11:59 AM PDT  Children of Paranoia Hardcover | Kindle By Trevor Shane Dutton Release Date: September 8, 2011 There are two main rules that come with fighting in this war: Rule #1: No killing of innocent bystanders.

| Check Out This Clip With Chloe Moretz From ‘Hick’ Posted: 10 Sep 2011 09:00 AM PDT  With the Fall festival season now kicking into full gear, we are beginning to see more and more from a cavalcade of films looking to make a splash this Fall. One of these films happens to be the new project from director Derick Martini, Hick. MTV has a new clip from the film, which stars Chloe Moretz and Blake Lively, and follows the story of a 13-year-old dealing with her drunken parents. The film premieres at this year's Toronto International Film Festival, and is one of many smaller indie dramas that will be looking to make some big waves this Fall [...]      |
| Keith Richards’ Autobiography ‘Life’ To Be Made Into A Movie Posted: 10 Sep 2011 08:01 AM PDT  "Keith Richards is shooting heroin into his eyeballs and still touring all right! I'm getting mixed signals! I picture nuclear war and two things surviving: Keith and cockroaches!" - Bill Hicks Keith Richards, the legendary Rolling Stones guitarist and part-time pirate, is about to become a movie star. Sort of. A film based on Richards' best-selling autobiography Life, published last year, is in the works, according to a recent interview the famed Stone gave to the British website The Telegraph after receiving Writer of the Year honors at the GQ Men of the Year Awards. Richards said in the Telegraph interview, "There are feelers out at the minute [but] I'm in no rush right at the moment. Also, how are they going to find me? The idea of a succession of Keith Richards coming down is horrifying." [...]      |
| Meet Martin In This ‘Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence)’ Trailer Posted: 10 Sep 2011 07:00 AM PDT  This week, my editor decided to punish me because I had been assigned to review the first Human Centipede DVD, but I never did the review. In the interest of full disclosure, however, I had heard details about the film and have been trying to work up the courage to watch it for approximately a year now. My penance for not completing the review is to cover this, the new image and teaser trailer for The Human Centipede 2 (Full Sequence) (which you can watch here below), and if you know about Human Centipede, then the subtitle of the movie should chill your spine and make your stomach churn. Because it definitely did to me. And rightly so [...]      |
