Passengers: A Thrilling, Visually-Pleasing Sci-Fi with some Problematic Messages about Consent

In the future, a company offers people the chance to relocate to a far off, undeveloped planet called Homestead. For a hefty fee, passengers go into cryogenic sleep for 120 years, waking up four months prior to arriving at their new home. The ship goes on auto-pilot until then, with all of its crew and passengers sound asleep. However, when the ship flies through an asteroid field, it sustains some damage – including to one of its cryogenic pods.

Jim (Chris Pratt), a mechanic, wakes up. At first, he assumes everything went according to plan and he is months away from arriving at Homestead. But he soon realizes something terrible went wrong – he is the only one awake, and they are still 90 years away from their destination.

Waylon Jennings: The Lost Nashville Sessions CD Review

Waylon Jennings: The Lost Nashville Sessions, available now on CD and vinyl.

I'm not a big fan of modern country music. I recently spent an hour in a greeting card store--I'm very picky about my cards--and I finally asked am employee what we were listening to. "Modern Country on Pandora," she replied. "Okay, but is this just one really long song, or what? I've heard the same chords in the same time signature for nearly an hour. The same alcoholic references too, near as I can tell." The young lady turned and walked away in huff. Everybody is so easily offended these days but I guess I don't have much room to talk. After all, I'm offended by failed rock star wannabes yodeling about beer, thinking that wearing a cowboy hat makes you a cowboy. It doesn't. Wrangling steer, that makes you a cowboy.

Gallifrey Gift Guide 2016

Doctor Who Jacket

Who is coming for Christmas!

That is not a question I am asking you, but a statement I am telling you.

As traditional as a Doctor Who Christmas special and as equally looked forward to, a Doctor Who Christmas gift under the tree says you care about that person throughout time.

One gift in the DW gift catalog this year is a very trendy and smart looking, all material Women’s Navy Varsity Jacket.

Weekend Blast - Escape Rooms

My Two Bits: Escape Rooms

I have a huge love for the “point and click” adventure video games that Lucasarts and Sierra put out in the 80’s and 90’s.  Space Quest, King’s Quest, Monkey Island, Sam and Max, Leisure Suit Larry, Maniac Mansion, Day of the Tentacle and on and on.  The problem with these games were they tended to be short, and once you beat them, there wasn’t a lot of replay value to them.  Don’t get me wrong, I would still replay them even when I knew how to get through all the puzzles since many of them had great stories and a great sense of humor.

Despicable Me 3 Trailer

Illumination Entertainment posted up a trailer for next summer's Despicable Me 3.


 

As much as I enjoyed Despicable Me, I thought the sequel was just okay.  It wasn't bad or outright insulting like many sequels (looking at you Cars 2), but there just wasn't anything all that memorable about Despicable Me 2.  Watching the trailer for Despicable Me 3, I kind of felt the same way.  Kind of cool to see Trey Parker voicing the villain, and the 80's design for Balthazar Bratt was great.  But this feels like a cash grab and not much else.

DC Expands Hanna Barbera Line with New Annuals

DC made some big announcements today regarding their Hanna Barbera line.  They are doing a series of annuals, all of which will crossover with a mainstream DC character.  And as a special bonus, each annual also includes a backup feature introducing a new character to the Hanna Barbera reboot.  The main stories and the backups all have top of the line creative teams, and from the solicits, they all seem to tie in to both DC and Hanna Barnera continuity.  

All four of these look great, but I will say the one I am most looking forward to is the Flintstones/Booster Gold.  Especially since it's got a Jetsons' backup!

Fear the Walking Dead: The Complete Second Season on DVD

Fear the Walking Dead S2

I was given a copy of FEAR THE WALKING DEAD: The Complete Second Season to review. For those who aren’t familiar with the show, it’s a prequel to AMC’s THE WALKING DEAD and is supposed to give a view of the apocalypse in the beginning stages.

In season two, the cast moves from the hills of Los Angeles to the Pacific Ocean, traveling along the coast in a yacht named The Abigail. The group discovers the water holds as much danger as land, as they meet new friends and new dangers--and even more dangerous foes.

Power Rangers: Ninja Steel debuts in January. Here's Everything We Know!

There hasn't been a lot of news for Power Rangers: Ninja Steel, even though the series debuts on Nickelodeon‎ next month.  But I decided to share what we know so far.


We did get a brief teaser after the Power Rangers: Dino Super Charge Christmas Special (and last episode).

 

 

The official description from the show makes it sound pretty quirky.  Power Rangers meets Reality TV?

Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow Shines Once Again!

Richie Blackmore Rainbow

In June of this year, something incredible happened. After almost 20 years, Ritchie Blackmore reformed Rainbow for a trio of shows that rocked the Heavy Metal world, proving that while time and tide wait for no man, when it comes to playing great rock and roll, age doesn’t matter a hill o’ beans!

With a new frontman in Ronnie Romero (who sounds oddly in many ways like an amalgam of all of the Rainbow front men through the years) and playing music from Rainbow as well as Deep Purple, these three shows brought it to the audience full on. And now, thanks once again to Eagle Rock Entertainment, this 2CD / Single DVD set captures the best of all three shows and brings them into your living room.

Lots of teasers from Archie Comics (UPDATED!)

Archie Comics was pretty busy at the end of the week posting up four teasers for new books coming soon.  We don't get much information beyond creative teams and a teaser image, but Archie has been putting out a lot of cool books lately, so it's very likely I will end up buying most of these.


First up, we have the return of the Little Archies in March!  Baltazar and Franco actually have worked on Little Archies before in a crossover with Tiny Titans.  This is right in their wheel house and should be a lot of fun.!
