Lost “Recon” Episode 6.8

This week we get a Sawyer-filled episode, and we learn one thing:  Sawyer is a liar.  Luckily for him, he has found two professions, a con-man in the standard timeline and a detective in the alternate timeline, in which his skill set serves him well. 
In the alternate timeline, Sawyer and his partner Miles are police [...]

Lost “Dr. Linus” Episode 6.7

This season of Lost has introduced the “flash-sideways” and many of us fans have been bewildered ever since.  What is the purpose of this alternate timeline?  Well, I can’t say that I have the answer to that question, but for the first time this season, in my opinion, we have seen a someone change their [...]

Lost “Sundown” Episode 6.6

By sundown, and the end of this episode, things on the island are a lot different.  Jacob’s nemesis (in the form of Locke and the smoke monster) has brought his wrath down on the inhabitants of the temple.  Many characters are reunited, and a handful are dead.  And all of this in just a day’s time on [...]

Seacrest Strikes Again

I’m not sure if anyone else noticed, but Ryan Seacrest showed his cultural sensitivity last night on American Idol during the guys’ show when he gave a sterotypical Asian bow to the only Asian guy in the competition, John Park.  Right after the judges were finished with their critique, Ryan had some trivial comments, then [...]

Lost “The Substitute” Episode 6.4

After last week’s Kate-centric episode, we are treated this week to an episode centered around one of the most interesting characters on Lost, John Locke.  The only problem with that is that Locke is dead.  Well, at least he’s dead in one of the three storylines covered this week.  And why is that important?  Because, [...]

Lost “What Kate Does” Episode 6.3

This season, Lost has introduced a new storytelling device to complement its flash-forward and flash-back devices:  the flash-sideways.  For my initial thoughts on this, what I would call a “parallax view,” check out last week’s recap.  But, since ABC is referring to it as a “flash-sideways,” that’s what I’ll call it here.  I think the [...]

Finally, Lost is back.  We’ve been waiting for this moments for months, and it is finally here.  Let’s jump right in.
The season premiere begins with the new white screen as it fades into Jack and the gang on Oceanic 815.  Ironically, the first people Jack speaks to are Rose and Bernard, [...]

Lost: Season 5 Finale Redux

 
After rewatching last season’s finale, I couldn’t help but post a few random thoughts.  This is not a recap of the episode, that can be found here, but rather a few fresh thoughts as I get prepared to enjoy the final season.
If this season’s premiere is the “beginning of the end” then was the finale [...]

G-Force

Recently released on Disney Blu-Ray and DVD was Jerry Bruckheimer’s G-Force.  This movie is an animated action film, full of explosions and chase scenes.  The “secret agent” aspect of a group of FBI-trained guinea pigs was a little over my kids’ heads, but they were fairly entertained by the constant action.  The photo-realistic rodents on [...]

The Ultimate Fighter – Finale Week

This is going to be a great week for TUF fans.  We get a two hour show this Wednesday, which will include two quarter-final matches and both semi-final matches.  Then, we get to see the finale live on Saturday night.
They have continued to tease a Kimbo return, but this week we find out the Kimbo [...]
