If you haven't seen it already, the latest teaser trailer for the Facebook movie, The Social Network, is now online. If you use a Lost Boys-style cover of Creep by Radiohead and you flash up some dramatic looking scenes, I'm always going to be impressed. But despite that, it's got plenty of … [Read more...]
South Park Facebook episode: All the funny bits
The Facebook episode of South Park was truly a wonder to behold. If you missed it (or if you want to re-live the magic), here's a handy compilation of all the Facebook gags. … [Read more...]
Dork Review: Misfits Series One
A couple of weeks ago, it was reported that E4 will be producing a Christmas special of Misfits, their 2009 series about young offenders with super-powers. This reminded me that I never actually watched it when originally broadcast. Helpfully, the entire series is available on the Channel 4 On … [Read more...]
The IT Crowd review: Series 4 so far
There isn’t a lot of ‘proper’ geek TV on at the moment, as our Editor bemoaned in a recent post. Many might take this as a sign to run for their DVD stacks, but there is one show which aims for the dork audience, but some forget because it’s a mere sitcom: The IT Crowd. The new batch is half over … [Read more...]
Geeks! What are you watching at the moment?
Doctor Who is over and there's now a massive hole in my usually jam-packed Sky+ series link line up. I'm still catching up on 30 Rock, but once that special joy is over, there will be nowhere for me to get my geek on. So what are you watching? Misfits is on the way, Sherlock should be good … [Read more...]
Doctor Who: The Big Bang review
After blowing up the TARDIS and destroying the entire universe last week, the scene was set for one of those “Oh my God big stuff happens!” finales that Doctor Who has often presented in recent years. Oh, and Amy’s dead, and the man himself is locked inside an inescapable Rubik’s Cube. So it’s … [Read more...]
Doctor Who: The Pandorica Opens review
A few weeks back whilst reviewing the first half of the Silurian two-parter, I slipped in some smartarse about how it’s unfair to review the first part of such storylines on their own. I found myself thinking that again, rather more seriously, whilst watching The Pandorica Opens, the beginning of … [Read more...]
Doctor Who: The Lodger review
It’s sitcom time in Doctor Who this week, as the man in tweed moves into a flatshare with James Corden, plays a bit of football and embarrasses himself whilst trying to fit in with the humans. For those who watched Third Rock From The Sun or Mork & Mindy, this may seem eerily familiar. Still, … [Read more...]
Doctor Who: Vincent and the Doctor review
As you’ve doubtless heard, this is The Richard Curtis Episode. The jokes about floppy fringes and stuttering write themselves, don’t they? But it would be a lot easier to hurl such abuse if the end result had been rubbish, and annoyingly it isn’t. Despite widespread grumbling about his last few … [Read more...]
Dork Review: BBC3 pilot, Pulse
The pilot episode of Pulse, the new BBC3 medical-supernatural horror that aired on Thursday, opens with a messy operation sequence. Ketchup flies, people scream, and if you’ve been scared since childhood of being awake during your own major surgery, it looks like this show will trigger that phobia … [Read more...]
