Covert Affairs – TV Review

Jason F — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 17:33:56 +0000

At first glance Covert Affairs appears to be USA Network’s attempt at making a sort of Alias light. It’s about a young, pretty female CIA agent after all. And all the commercials show her running around in all sorts of spy scenarios. But alas there’s no Rambaldi artifacts, no spy daddy, not even an [...]

Jason F — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 16:33:33 +0000

Rookie Blue is the latest show on ABC’s summer schedule. It’s a comedy/drama/crime show about a group of rookie cops in Los Angeles. I’ve managed to fit in 3 episodes of the show so it’s time for a review. First what drew me to this was the presence of Missy Peregrym (Reaper, Stick It). [...]

The Sorcerers Apprentice – Movie Review

Jason F — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 05:16:21 +0000

The Sorcerers Apprentice is a new Disney released film from producer Jerry Bruckheimer. It’s loosely based on the bit in Fantasia, and I do mean loosely. There is one misplaced scene with dancing mops. Anyway, it’s directed by Jon Turteltaub (National Treasure 2, While You Were Sleeping) and is about a kid who gets [...]
