A Distant Star

Review: Babylon 5 2.04 300px-eaexplor_lg1

That’s quite possibly the lamest “Yes, Sir!” I’ve ever heard. I don’t know how things work in EarthForce, but you can get shot for that sort of stuff around these parts. Sweet boots Captain Maynard, all white and spiffy, me likey! If only Keffer hadn’t of found his way back to the station, I’d be a very happy man. I’d also be willing to explore Ivanova’s expanding Russian borders at a moment’s notice, I’m free for that sort of exploratory mission.

The Geometry Of Shadows

Review: Babylon 5 2.03 elric-234x300

Magic is everywhere, Vir is really sacred, not of the Techno-Mages mind you, but of Londo. Can you blame him, a few drinks in Londo and who knows what will happen? For all he knows Vir could wake up the next morning married to a Drazi and be none the wiser for why he’s in that pickle. Sheridan’s a bit pushy, dude back off, I have a dragon in my pocket, and it’s not the puff-puff type. I’m a green guy myself, but I’m all about love, not war, so I know how I would end any color related conflicts.

Film Review: Southland Tales

November 11th, 2008 | Category: Movies, Reviews by Paul Talon

Film Review: Southland Tales 02_southlandtales_lg-300x198

Southland Tales

Starring: Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Seann William Scott, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Justin Timberlake, Wallace Shawn, Miranda Richardson, Mandy Moore, Kevin Smith, John Laroquette,  Jon Lovitz, Cheri Oteri, Amy Poehler, Beth Grant, Nora Dunn, Will Sasso, Zelda Rubinstein, Christopher Lambert, and Curtis Armstrong

Written and Directed by: Richard Kelly

Southland Tales is a sprawling, manic, almost directionless film coming from Richard Kelly, famous for Donnie Darko.  With a neverending cast of stars from a to d list, the film is directionless only because it has so much it wants to say.  A dark satire of a post 9/11 America and Hollywood the movie is very frustrating at times, yet it is so engrossing, you can’t turn away.

Revelations

Review: Babylon 5 2.02 vlcsnap-47801-300x168

That chick has scales all over her body, so not hot! Wait a minute, the scales are gone, she now has hair and she’s pretty good looking, I approve. Garibaldi’s awake, but based on the crap he’s about to go through for the next four years maybe he should have stayed in that coma. What’s the point of having a secret regime signature hand gesture when you go around showing it to people you tried to kill? Don’t go to the rim appears to be the lesson to be learned from this episode.
