It’s been aeons since the last episode of Revolution aired in the United States. I had almost given up on the show at the end of the first quarter of the season, but stuck with it, and I’m glad I did. It improved immeasurably. So much so, that I’m rather excited for the...

Review: The Hobbit – An Unexpected Journey
posted by Chris McQuillan
First up, let me just say that I am a huge fan of The Lord of the Rings. By this, I do not mean I enjoyed a handful of films I saw a decade ago. I love the books, I’ve read them and seen the films several times. I like the mythology in The Silmarillion and clamber after every bit I can get. Consequently, I really enjoyed The Hobbit. And yet, it left me feeling frustrated because, for me, it came close to being a masterpiece, but fell perilously short several key areas. The Lord of the Rings trilogy excelled in making Middle-Earth a living, breathing world inhabited by real yet fantastical characters. It did so through...

In a future as gritty as the cyberpunk version of Paris, the streets will be filled with popular noir elements like smoke coming out of manholes; mendicants and junkies occupying dark alleys, and constant sirens...

Sadly, I’ve decided to call it a day with reviews for Revolution. I cannot see the show being renewed for a second series, and while I will continue to watch, the show simply doesn’t enthuse me enough to write about it. It’s the same problems – or problem (Tracy...
