Review: Babylon 5 2.03
The Geometry Of Shadows
Magic is everywhere, Vir is really sacred, not of the Techno-Mages mind you, but of Londo. Can you blame him, a few drinks in Londo and who knows what will happen? For all he knows Vir could wake up the next morning married to a Drazi and be none the wiser for why he’s in that pickle. Sheridan’s a bit pushy, dude back off, I have a dragon in my pocket, and it’s not the puff-puff type. I’m a green guy myself, but I’m all about love, not war, so I know how I would end any color related conflicts.

Film Review: Southland Tales
Southland Tales
Starring: Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Seann William Scott, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Justin Timberlake, Wallace Shawn, Miranda Richardson, Mandy Moore, Kevin Smith, John Laroquette, Jon Lovitz, Cheri Oteri, Amy Poehler, Beth Grant, Nora Dunn, Will Sasso, Zelda Rubinstein, Christopher Lambert, and Curtis Armstrong
Written and Directed by: Richard Kelly
Southland Tales is a sprawling, manic, almost directionless film coming from Richard Kelly, famous for Donnie Darko. With a neverending cast of stars from a to d list, the film is directionless only because it has so much it wants to say. A dark satire of a post 9/11 America and Hollywood the movie is very frustrating at times, yet it is so engrossing, you can’t turn away.

Review: Babylon 5 2.02
Revelations
That chick has scales all over her body, so not hot! Wait a minute, the scales are gone, she now has hair and she’s pretty good looking, I approve. Garibaldi’s awake, but based on the crap he’s about to go through for the next four years maybe he should have stayed in that coma. What’s the point of having a secret regime signature hand gesture when you go around showing it to people you tried to kill? Don’t go to the rim appears to be the lesson to be learned from this episode.

Review: Babylon 5 2.01
Points Of Departure
Everything is going straight to hell! Why is that lady in a cocoon and why is it oozing mysterious fluids? I want to see Keffer die right now, he’s a completely useless character, him and his annoying frock of hair. Just how many inquisitive looks can Ivanova flash at the camera, tune in to find out! As a friendly reminder, if you are a fan of the way the show is progressing and are watching it on DVD, then skip the opening credits for this episode or you will be spoiled, terribly!

News: Daniel Craig is not Thor
Confirming he had been approached for the role, the Quantum of Solace star joked it would have been too much being both Bond and Thor:
“I would have been on some stupid power trip. Blonde hair and a big hammer? I can’t do it.”
Thor, reportedly to be directed by Kenneth Branagh, is set for release in July 2010.
