For the first time since the start of this season, I’m beginning to think that Doctor Who isn’t playing fair. Sure, “Cold Blood” may have been, on one hand, a fairly dull by-the-numbers conclusion of the Silurians two-parter (Humanity’s basest natures, driven by love, prevent a new golden age of man and lizard living in perfect harmony! …

Talking Digital Comics With ComiXology’s David Steinberger
With the creation of iPhone/iPad apps for both Marvel Comics and indie publisher Boom! Studios so far this year, New York-based comiXology seems to be stepping into the position of the company most likely to help publishers transition into the world of digital comics. I spoke to the company’s CEO, David Steinberger, earlier this week …

Jedi In Training: My Midi-chlorian Count Is Low
The response to Allie’s Trekkie In Training journey has been overwhelming. So it got me thinking about whether or not you’re just as enthusiastic about Star Wars as you are about Star Trek. I hope you are.
I have a deep love for the original trilogy. As a kid, I watched it almost every weekend. But I never read the comics or the …
Review: A-Team’s Action? Aimless, Amusing and Kinda Awesome. (B)
Oh Kirk Honeycutt: I typically agree with your reviews in the Hollywood Reporter. I would say that more often than not, we’re on the same page when it comes to blockbusters and genre titles.
But when it comes to The A-Team, I’m starting to wonder what you were actually expecting. You give the movie a rather vicious drubbing: …

Exclusive: Dan Didio Talks Outsiders, Metal Men, Wednesday Comics
Dan Didio isn’t just the co-publisher of DC Comics, he’s also one of the company’s writers, working on monthly series The Outsiders, and having written the Metal Men strip in the just-released mammoth Wednesday Comics collection. I talked to him about his writing, why the Metal Men looked like they’ve just stepped out of the 1960s, and …
Review: Come For the Karate, Stay For the Kid (B)
The original Karate Kid was about self-discipline; the new incarnation is far more about self-preservation. And while at the outset that distinction is a subtle one, it’s jarring enough to give the whole movie a different, pulpy flavor that can, at times, skew uncomfortably violent.
After all, how brutal do these fist-to-fist duels …
A-Team Interview: We Hash It Out With Murdock, a.k.a. Sharlto Copley
Sharlto Copley – yes, the dude from District 9 – was sprinting through New York City on Wednesday on an A-Team promotional tour, and we tracked down his cell phone number so that we could hit him up with a couple questions about the film before he made it to the airport.
Yes, we’ve seen the movie – we were the ones giggling in the …
