Did it fly forward or drag down?

NOTE: Reviews for Quest and Arctic are not to be found on this site. As you know, the blog has stagnated for sometime. But if you read my last post, you know that it has returned in awesome full-force, as you will be able to find rehashes for the seasons of LOST, and Battlestar Galactica fairly soon.

But for now, enjoy my thoughts on the most recent season of Smallville, just weeks before the release of the seventh season onto DVD.

Also stay tuned for my prehash of the eighth season of Smallville later this week. (more…)

As you may or may not be aware of, this blog has been collecting dust faster than an old unused Tolkien book. But with the Fall TV season coming closer and closer and the release ofthe phenomenal masterpiece graphic novel film, The Dark Knight behind us, I am going to try and be faithful to this thing as much as I can.

But let me know what you want to see, as things start to unravel.

PEACE!!!! (Well, not literally )

What did you think? Did it live up to all your expectations bulit up in the past 20 years? Or was it a massive disappointment?

Post your thoughts here!

I for one am excited about this, as I’m a huge fan of Mr. Bale in his work as Bruce Wayne/Batman in Christopher Nolan’s Batman franchise and in other films. So I am excited to see him take on this other iconic role on film.

Comingsoon.net has posted the transcript for this chat, which you can read here.

If you recall, it was reported here that Heroes would be premiering with its three-hour premiere event on September 15. My guess is that this change was caused by the fact that this premiere date will be more along the lines of everything else that is premiering on NBC and all the other networks.

Still very exciting news, though. Let the countdown begin . . .

This pictures got me jazzed about the new series and even more excited about how this series is going to compare with all the other Joss-related stuff in the past.

January cannot come any faster . . .

Here are the pics for your viewing pleasure. Look at them as many times as you want.

From this image, it appears that it will be a three-disc set. and is also available for preorder on Amazon.com. No news on a release date or special features other than what has been reported here.

Should be exciting nonetheless . . .

But Kristin Veich from E!Online has reported some great news bits that would get any Whedon fan excited for Dollhouse’s premiere.

Now, I personally have not seen this show, but with all other shows out of commission due to summer hiatus, I will probably be watching it. I can’t wait!

Anyways, ROCK ON NBC!!!!

Also, in other Chuck news, the cover art for the season 1 DVD has been released along with a release date of September 16, 2008.

Well, it has been confirmed by TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello that Allison Mack is not only returning for season 8, but will be in all of the season’s episodes.

This makes me glad, because when I was hearing she might not return, I don’t know if I would’ve been able to watch season 8. But now that she is officially returning, my heart is doing cartwheels!

Thanks to my good friend Adele for this news tip!

Stoltz will be playing the role of Daniel Graystone, a wealthy computer engineer who, after an emotionally crippling family tragedy, uses his technological wizardry to forever change the future of Caprica. One might assume that this role that Mr. Stoltz will be playing cpuld be the creator of the Cylons. But that’s pure speculation at this point . . .

In other casting news, Alessandra Toressani will be playing Daniel’s daughter, Zoe.

Although I am glad the show has been picked up, but I am just saddened that it got a midseason pickup instead of a whole season pickup. But hey, maybe we’ll get 22 episodes within that time. Who knows?

More waiting . . . Grrr . . . Argh . . . Dang you, FOX!

But hey at least it’s a pickup.

Needless to say, it looks pretty kool. Next summer cannot come any quicker for me.

What are Mr. Solomon’s credentials, as far as Whedon things go though? Well, to start off, he was co-producer on Buffy, and directed the fan-favorite episode of Firefly, Out of Gas.

So it should be interesting to see what Mr. Solomon adds to the already rich-in-awesomeness, Dollhouse.

I think this would be a great companion to Joss Whedon’s “Dollhouse,” should they choose to air it on the ever-competitive Thursday night slot. But I don’t know when either of those shows will air on FOX, so it should be interesting either way.

Needless to say, I will be tuning in . . .

It is a very interesting interview and should be a very great movie, due to be released next Friday at a theater near you!

The season is still premiering in January, as I said in my premiere post. I just hope ABC Family knows what they’re doing by giving us these dreadfully long hiatuses. Ehhh . . . We’ll see.

BEWARE: HERE THERE BE SPOILERS!!!

I have to say, without giving too much away, (If you want to know about them) I am intrigued as to how the main characters will interact with the different main characters in the series, when they are eventually casted and introduced.

This trailer promises to be a visual spectacle, and should be awesome for the casual viewer and the avid Star Wars fan alike. So check it out tonight at your local network!

If you manage to miss the trailer, be sure to check it out at www.starwars.com

This role was going to be modeled after Senator John McCain, but has since has been reconceived. It has now been reported that this character will be sharing scenes with a female series regular.

This news, in addition to previous Heroes casting news, would lead one to believe that this would be a repeat of season 2’s onslaught of new characters. But it has been reported that the primary focus will be on the “core characters from the pilot.”

On the eve of a new Smallville episode, I have written my review of the alterniverse episode of Smallville entitled Apocalypse.

What did I think? Did I absolutely love it, or hate it?

NOTE: A LOST review is in the pipeline, and this week’s Smallville review of Quest (the penultimate episode of season 7) will be out a little sooner than this one was. Again, sorry for the delay, guys.

The role that has been cast is the character of Joseph Adama, father of William Adama (played by Edward James Olmos in Galactica). He is to be played by Esai Morales, who has eben featured in shows such as Jericho, and NYPD Blue. Now I have not seen Mr. Morales in any of these roles, but he sure looks like he could be Olmos’ dad.

The casting call describes Joseph as a deeply passionate man with a strong sense of justice - - and someone you wouldn’t want as your enemy.

More news will be posted as it develops.

If the codename was any indication, this characters’ special power is superspeed, which kind of excites me as superspeed is a power I’ve been clamoring for on Heroes for some time now.

As many of you know, HIMYM’s future on CBS is always hazy. But according to the Hollywood Reporter, renewal for this particular show is “considered a given.”

In the same article , the Hollywood Reporter weighs the future on several other “bubble” shows on the varipus television networks.

Click here to read said article.

For those unfamiliar, this movie takes place in the future where Skynet rules the earth and John Connor’s (as played by Christian Bale in this movie) resistance does all they can to fight it.

Common is going to be playing a freedom fighter and one who has in Connor’s inner circle. I don’t know how I feel about rappers and musicians but we’ll see how it goes when the film is released a year from now.

Was it a smashing superhero hit or metalheaded flop?

NOTE: Hope you enjoy this review of this movie, as it will be the first of many I will be reviewing in this “geeky” summer.

Now, I think this is great news for this movie and bodes well for the future of Marvel movies. I personally can’t wait to see this movie. By the week’s end, expect a complete review of the movie.

Thanks to Superhero Flix for providing the info!

On Superman Homepage, the page’s very own Neal Bailey interviewed Michael Rosenbaum at a Calgary Convention where he discusses his run on Smallville and what we can expect in the future for this wonderful actor. Also, Rosenbaum discusses what exactly his final shot in the show will be, and that his final episode will be a “very very good ending”.

In other news, you can check out a letter to fans from the actor himself regarding his departure from the show here.

This announcement comes off the heels of the announcement in January that many of their movies would be avaialiable for rental and not purchase. I, for one, was not happy with the iTunes rental system and am happy that they’re making the foray back into purchasing movies. I am anxious to see what movies could come out of this new deal.

Thanks to Comingsoon.net for this news tip!

BIG UPDATE: This new deal has gone into full effect, as all movies that were once available for rent are now available for purchase. This includes iTunes’ superhero films which happen to include Batman Begins and Superman Doomsday. Now if we can have the movies up there, why do we not have Smallville up on iTunes?

I have to say, it promises to be an amazing and epic third season if it plays out this way.

WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS!

TV.com recently posted information about the season 3 premiere, which is entitled “It Happened . . .” and was said to air on June 16, 2008, but is now saying it is January 12, 2009. I really hope that is the former, because an extended hiatus can really kill a show.

NOTE: Expect a prehash on this site just before the season premiere on where I think the next season of this show will go, similar to the prehash I gave on Battlestar Galactica.

I have to say I was a little skeptical about this film, but this interview has me excited to what Abrams has in store for the Star Trek universe that we all know and love.

Click here to read the interview!

I have no idea what it is, but my thoughts that it might clue in to a sequel with Jim Rhodes as War Machine. After all, it has been announced that if the film does well at the box office, a sequel is expected to be released in 2010. This scene is very exclusive to the release of the film as prior press screenings did not showcase this ending.

Hope everyone enjoys the film tonight!

The reason this is is that I’m sure that some of you have heard that there will be two Tolkien films directed by Del Toro. One will be based upon the novel the Hobbit, and the other will be a film, kind of bridging the gap between the Hobbit and the Fellowship of the Ring.

Should be very interesting if we see Cate Blanchett or Viggo Mortensen return to their starring roles in this second film.

NOTE: Look for a “Tim’s Take” in the near future as I discuss this subject of returning characters and story elements in this second transitory film.

In the meantime, read Del Toro’s interview with IF Magazine here.

For those of you who are seeing it, please post your thoughts below without being as spoilery as possible.

Thanks a bunch!

This news has me excited as I cannot wait to see McKellen return to the grey robes for The Hobbit.

NOTE: Longtime followers of my work might recognize some of my ideas as I devoted a podcasting episode to this very topic when I ran the Smallville Superfan podcast (more…)

Stay tuned for updates.

Thanks to TVShowsonDVD.com for the news.

IESB.net lists the role as thus:

“[CHUCK] 19-25 yrs., Sam’s roommate at Princeton. He runs a conspiracy theory website. Funny in an irreverent, edgy way, he is shocked to see his conspiracy theories come to life. (2nd Lead)”

Now if this actor is set to play this role, I think he would have to roll off of Shia’s comedic prowess. I think that this guy can definitely pull that off.Now I have not seen the movies for which he is famous for, so I’m just guessing from what I’ve seen in the trailers for those movies. But it looks like he could be good for this movie. He might be like the big guy who was in the first movie.

Transformers 2 is set to be released on June 26, 2009.

Well, recently, MTV recently interviewed Hugh Jackman about the new film, which Jackman calls the “Batman Begins” for Wolverine. In it, he talks more about the movie, and if he would be up to more sequels.

Forgive the grainy quality, but it is still pretty darn good. It makes me excited for this film even more than I was. I honestly don’t think that there is anything that can make me less excited than I already am.

This trailer really showcased Heath Ledger’s acting ability as the Joker, and it was really awesome. He plays the Joker perfectly.

Check it out yourself here!

Now, if you’re looking for spoilers in this description, you won’t find any, because it is the vaguest official description I have ever read.

But it still got me excited for the episode.

Well, now we have some idea at what the cover is going to look like. If you look to the right, you can see it for yourself.

Big thanks to Comics2Film for providing this cover art!

So it seems like this will be a monster of a DVD when it is released. No cover art yet, but I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before it is released. Stay tuned here for more details as that unfolds.

Thanks to MovieWeb for this tidbit.

This site now has an email to support it. So, if you want to see more stuff, or want to see things that aren’t here, please e-mail at: geekritique@gmail.com. If you send an e-mail, I will do my best to get back to you.

I do not think this movie will disappoint at all. I think I am more excited for this movie than any movie this year. It looks to be amazing. But I’ve said all this before.

To get y’all excited, the release date for LOST Season 4 will be on December 9, 2008 on Standard DVD and BluRay Disc, and will have have five discs in its set. I think this a pretty good indication on how the rest of the seasons of LOST will be released, as well, as it was when season 3 was released this past year.  There are many special features planned including information about the Freighter Folk, The music, The guns on LOST and much much more!

Big thanks to TVShowsonDVD.com for providing this info.

All I can say is that it looks to be very exciting. I swear, everything I read about this new season gets me more and more excited. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, i think season 3 will be Heroes’ best season yet.

Was it a “sleeper” or did I sleep through it?

READ ON, BUT HERE THERE BE SPOILERS!!! (more…)

Was it a move in the right direction or a downward slump for the show?

(more…)

So look for reviews on the past 2 Smallville episodes, Descent and Sleeper very soon.

He did say that the according to supervising producer James Middleton, the season 1 DVD is due to be released in August of this year, and also confirmed that everyone WILL be back this season, including Summer Glau, who was seen at the last in an exploding car in the finale.

But hey, read the interview here! It’s pretty cool.

Well, to fuurther confirm that news, IFmagazine has reported that Fox has plans to produce a companion series to the Sarch Connor Chronicles. No details on what this series is about, or what it could hold for the future of the show. But, rest assure, details will be found here as they are made available.

In the fall, NBC has plans to produce a TV series entitled Crusoe. If you’re familiar with the Daniel DeFoe novel, Robinson Crusoe, and its many onscreen adaptations, you know what it’s about. But if you’re not, here’s a rundown. The story centers on Robinson Crusoe, who leaves his wife to go on an adventure only to find himself shipwrecked for 28 years on a remote tropical island.

Two roles for this risky TV series have been cast. One being the title character of Robinson Crusoe, who is to be played by Phillip Winchester. The other role that has been cast is the role of Crusoe’s wife, who is to be played by Anna Walton. Now I have heard of nothing abut these actors. So it’ll interesting to see how they play these roles.

Another interesting factor qwill be how it will compare to ABC’s megahit series LOST, which is another TV series whose main events transpire on a remote tropical island.  I, for one, will be tuning in to this show when it makes its grand debut on NBC in the fall.

This trailer focuses a lot more on the action of the movie than did the first trailer. I will still say, though, it looks amazing and cannot wait until it comes out.

Check out the trailer here!

This gets me excited to know that Joss has returned to his forte of storytelling. Sure, Serenity was awesome, and ok, the Buffy Season 8 comics have been pretty good. But I think everyone reading this knows that Joss’ best work is seen on the small screen. So it is great to know that he is back, telling the stories that he loves.

Welcome back to television, Joss. We’ve all missed you.

UPDATE: Dollhouse even has its own IMDB page here.
