4K TV is bullshit
“We’re always on the lookout for the hot, new thing, and we never take the time to appreciate what we have now.”

Stargate Atlantis “Irresistible”
“In this article (and in the article that will follow it), I plan to educate you on why the writers should have steered clear of another Felger-type writing misstep of ‘Avenger 2.0’-size proportions... and decided not to. Twice. Don’t these guys learn the first time?”
Stargate SG-1 “Avenger 2.0”
“While it isn’t the worst concept for an episode ever, it’s still not winning fan love, twelve years after it aired. Okay, so maybe some fans love it, but this fan cringes over the existence of it.”
Rick Baker retires, and CGI wins
“CGI allows you to do anything you can imagine in your wildest fever dream, which begins to stretch the limits of believability to the breaking point.”

Poltergeist (1982): Still scary, but for different reasons
“The movie also made me think about how much I would sacrifice for my own child, and the feelings of hopelessness that would arise from not being able to do everything I want for my family.”
The Lone Ranger (2013)
“Contains just a bit more cannibalism than one would expect from a Disney-produced Lone Ranger movie.”
Super 8 (2011)
“One of Spielberg’s most famous and cherished movies is E.T., the story of a young boy who befriends an alien who’s just trying to get back home. Well, just imagine what that movie would have been like if E.T. ate people.”
Terminator Salvation (2009)
“Christian Bale acts more robotic than the cyborgs he’s fighting.”

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013)
“Could Anchorman 2 be the end of Will Ferrell’s over-hyped career? In a nutshell: yes. Or, at least, it should be.”
World War Z (2013)
“I lost count of the number of shots of Pitt staring off into the distance in horror, or looking back over his shoulder in slow-mo while running from the zombie hordes.”
After Earth (2013)
“I’m not sure that’s how evolution works, though it’s disheartening to see that Shyamalan thought so much of his silly ‘plants killing humans’ premise of The Happening that he reuses it here.”
Equilibrium (2002)
“Despite the terrible reviews it got upon release, Equilibrium has become a cult favorite, and for good reason. It boasts high energy combat scenes as well as a much deeper literary meaning.”

Riddick (2013)
“If I’m honest, my favorite performance (and character) in this film was the dog.”
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)
“For those of us who have already seen LOTR, this is a nice look back at those films, and for those completely new to the trilogy, The Hobbit is a an exciting film that stands as a worthwhile story its own right.”
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)
“Catching Fire is a far superior, more adult film than The Hunger Games, as we see the young characters we recognize from the first film grow into the people that could potentially help shape a new world. In particular, we watch as Katniss begins to believe in the power she could wield, and we wonder if this mockingjay has finally spread her wings.”
