Catfish on MTV: What Happens When Internet Lovers Meet?

Catfish, a 2010 documentary about people who meet on the internet, is a series on MTV now. It's hard to talk about the film, because it works best to go into it knowing nothing, but briefly: photographer Nev Schulman falls in love with a girl he talks to online (but has never met) and starts … [Read more...]

If you haven't had your fill of time travel motion pictures recently thanks to Looper, Charles has put together a list of his favourite dimension-defying flicks.

Looper review: Lower your expectations and you’ll love it

In 2044, time travel hasn't been invented, but 30 years later, it will have been. Outlawed immediately, it's used by organised crime bosses to send people back in time, so hitmen in the past can kill them and dispose of the bodies.

Before Watchmen: the comic book prequel no one wants

It's always a bad sign when your press release launching a new project includes an apology for the existence of the project. DC Comics' announcement that it plans to publish 35 new Watchmen comics this year, 25 years after the original 12-issue series blew the doors off the entire super-hero genre, … [Read more...]

Castle and Breaking Bad: TV made by geeks, for geeks

Last week, I watched possibly the geekiest ten minutes of television ever. In the Hallowe'en episode of Castle, Nathan Fillion's breezy detective series, Fillion spent the first act dressed as his much-missed Firefly/Serenity character, Mal Reynolds. “Didn't you wear that five years ago?” his … [Read more...]

Six things about modern-day vampires that are better than Twilight

Six things about modern-day vampires that are better than Twilight

Twilight is not a good vampire story. This is mainly because it doesn’t have any vampires in it. They can go outside in the daytime. They glitter in sunlight. What you have there, people, is more of a murderous, blood-drinking pixie. Here are six shows and films that are better than … [Read more...]

Is FlashForward actually any good?

Is FlashForward actually any good?

You used to be able to dip in and out of TV shows. Soaps aside, television writers were usually happy to helpfully navigate characters back to where they started by the end of an episode.
