Earth’s Final Hours
One of my all-time favorite guilty pleasure movies is The Core with Aaron Eckhart, Hilary Swank, and Stanley Tucci. The story is about a manmade weapon that stalls the rotating core of the planet and causes the electromagnetic field to deteriorate. As a result, the Earth is plagued by electrical storms and solar radiation. I [...]
Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome
Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome is everything a prequel should be and creates an exciting chapter that no Battlestar fan should miss. Set during the first Cylon war, Ensign William Adama (Luke Pasqualino) has just graduated from the academy and has been stationed on the Battlestar Galactica. Paired up with his mouthy co-pilot, Coker (Ben [...]
Being Human: The Complete Second Season (SyFy)
Something is different about season two of SyFy’s Being Human. Maybe it’s finally cast off the burden of living up to its BBC predecessor, but it feels like there’s something more to it. With the first season, the cast has enough charm and charisma to make some of the obviously recycled storylines bearable, but it [...]
Collision Earth
This has got to be the first Syfy original movie I’ve seen that I didn’t know was a Syfy original when I started it. It’s pretty easy to figure out once it starts; you just have to be able to spot the trademark characteristics. First, a ridiculously impossible premise. From megasharks to icequakes, Syfy originals [...]
Lost Girl: Season One
If Joss Whedon is a geek god, then consider Michelle Lovretta a disciple of his work, with her creation of Lost Girl. At first, it may look like Lost Girl is attempting to emulate Buffy’s formula, but don’t let it fool you for one minute. The series stars Anna Silk as Bo, a succubus that [...]
Halloween’s Coming: Monsters on TV
Monsters are everywhere all the time in this industry, but never get so much attention as they do in October. As we approach the end of summer and the start of fall, monsters are invading the small screen for your horror enjoyment. Here’s just a few of what’s to come to your television this weekend: [...]
Treasure Island
Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic pirate story is brought to life in this Syfy channel miniseries. When young Jim Hawkins (Toby Regbo; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1) happens across a treasure map, he and his guardian Dr. Livesey (Daniel Mays; Doctor Who) hire a ship and a crew to find the infamous lost [...]
Sanctuary: Season 4
The Sanctuary team are back for this fourth season of the Syfy original series, exploring bigger myths, deadlier monsters, and darker secrets than ever before. If you’re unfamiliar with the series, it’s fairly simple. Dr. Helen Magnus (Amanda Tapping) runs an institute known only as The Sanctuary, in which she keeps and protects a menagerie [...]
Doomsday Prophecy
To preface this review, I’ve seen several Syfy original movies. You can find my reviews for such absurd endeavors as Ice Quake, and Metal shifters on this website, and I’ve managed to catch Sharktopus, and Megashark vs. Giant Octopus on my own, and they’re very fun for those of us who enjoy campy B-movies. So, [...]
Being Human: “Mama Said There’d Be Decades Like These”
It’s not easy being dead. SyFy’s Being Human is proof of that. Its sophomore season sees new hurtles for the three supernatural suitemates with Sally trying to cope with life after life, Aidan dealing with his newfound leadership role, and trouble for Josh and Nora when they fall in with the wrong pack. The show [...]
