Benign and inoffensive. Dat pretty much sum up dis movie. On de one hand, it not sink to craptastic lows of first FF movie; on de other hand, it never quite reach de lofty heights of mediocrity either. Reed Richards and Sue Storm be in love and want to get married. Meanwhile, silver alien on…
January 12, 2013: Continuing our trip down SGA Memory Lane with The Daedalus Variations!
Congratulations to Akemi who has been bestowed the highest honor one can achieve as a tourist visiting Yellowknife willing to pay three dollars for a certificate. She is now and forevermore (unless she misplaces this piece of paper and doesn't buy herself a new one) "an honorable member of the exclusive North of 60 Chapter,…
January 11, 2013: Days of Stargate Atlantis Past! Broken Ties!
Well, I pretty much accomplished zero out of the dozen or so things I needed to get done today. Zero. Oh, I started off with the very best of intentions, but I was either at the wrong place or at the wrong time and, in one instant, on the wrong date(!) so that, when all…
January 10, 2013: The Akemi Update!
Well, I heard from Akemi who is presently in Yellowknife enjoying the Northern Lights - and deep freeze (35 degrees celsius/-31 fahrenheit) - with friends. One of the first messages she texted me was: "It's skin peel cold. I want to go back to Vancouver." Eventually, she warmed up a little to idea of her northern adventure…
January 9, 2013: Days of Stargate Atlantis Past continues with season 5’s The Seed!
So with Akemi out of town (freezing her cute little butt off in Yellowknife), I thought it would be a good a idea to do a little cleaning up around the house. Truth is I have so much "stuff" in boxes, on shelves, in closets, and squirreled away in the darkest recesses of my crawlspace…
January 7, 2013: The Supermovie of the Week Club reconvenes! Cookie Monster reviews Spiderman 3!
As rule of thumb, you know you in for crappy viewing experience when SUPERHERO movie you watching kick off wit MUSIKAL NUMBER. Let just say dat, after sitting thru rest of dis film, monster wasn't any Less Miserables. Whew! Dis movie be messier den Snuffalufagus eating Cantonese chow mein. It meander and hopscotch from one…
January 5, 2013: Resuming our trip down Stargate: Atlantis memory lane with seasons 5’s Search and Rescue! A slew of behind-the-scenes pics and vids!
SEARCH AND RESCUE (501) When production resumed on Stargate: Atlantis's fifth season, little did we realize at the time that it would be our final year. We were coming off a terrific fourth season and had some great scripts on deck and some big ideas for what lay ahead. Samantha Carter was on her way…
December 24, 2012: The Supermovie of the Week Club reconvenes! Cookie Monster reviews Zoom!
Dis be less a movie and more an interminable collektion of lame musical montage sekwences punctuated by occasional attempts at a plot, charakter development and, worst of all, humor. It say a lot about dis catastrophe dat de most interesting part of Zoom be opening five minute info-dump voice-over dat explain how two brothers, Zoom…
December 17, 2012: The Supermovie of the Week Club reconvenes! Cookie Monster reviews Lightspeed!
Dis movie suck more den Grover's aunt Tildy at a Shriner's convention. Movie begin wit guy walking down a dark alley where he encounter shaky creep hiding under dirty blanket. To most sane people, dis be invitation to skedaddle. But not dis guy. He stand and watch as - in movie's most horrifying sequence -…
December 10, 2012: The Supermovie of the Week Club reconvenes! Cookie Monster reviews My Super Ex-Girlfriend!
Dis movie reminiscent of monster's ex-girlfriend, Mona Hildeberger. One time, she get so mad after me use dishwasher to dry socks dat she spike monster's L'Oreal shampoo wit Nair hair remover. For two months while wait for fur to grow back, me kept getting mistaken for member of Blue Man Group. Very unpleasant memories. Fortunately,…
December 3, 2012: The Supermovie of the Week Club reconvenes! Cookie Monster reviews Superman Returns!
Dis movie more boring den Fozzie Bear's off-off-off Broadway production of "Old Coronation Street Episodes". It so bad dat monster invite friends over and invent Superman Returns drinking game. Everytime someone begin to doze off while watching movie, he have to do shot. By end of movie, not sure if Big Bird and Grover pass…
November 28, 2012: The supersecret projects rundown!
Amid all of the fantasy football researching, number-crunching, and anguishing (see last issue, ed.), I do find time for other pursuits. My supersecret projects come to mind. I know, I know. You've heard very little about them - but that's only because, well, they're supersecret. Hopefully, they'll eventually see the light of day (and, preferably,…
November 26, 2012: The Supermovie of the Week Club reconvenes! Cookie Monster reviews X-Men: The Last Stand!
On de one hand, dis movie not as good as de original or sekwel. On de other hand, it not make monster want to vomit, kick in his t.v., or punch someone in de nards. Movie pick up where last one left off. Jean Grey be dead and X-Men be in mourning. Cue cornball cliche…
November 24, 2012: Stargate lives! Sort of.
Well, MGM may have pulled the plug on Stargate - or, if you prefer, placed it on indefinite hiatus - but it's nice to see that interest in the franchise remains strong. A recent google search turned up the following Stargate-related news items... It was only a matter of time. Apparently, China has started their…
November 19, 2012: The Supermovie of the Week Club reconvenes! Cookie Monster reviews Sky High!
Monster can't help but tink dat if Wonder Woman had been my high school principal, me could have accomplished so much more in life. Instead, here me is doing movie reviews to help support my cookie habit. But me suppose it could be worse. Monster could be reviewing Elektra again. Instead, dis week, me watch…
