When we last left team Sanctuary — always battling the world’s “abnormals” — its members were fighting a giant spider named Big Bertha. In the first of season three’s generous 20 episodes, they’re still trying to undo the arachnid’s anarchy, namely in the form of tidal waves. Once that’s foiled, it’s time for a new […]

Lawnmower man
Or is it? OKC man Phil Ray Gage, 40, told NewsOK.com he’s been mowing at that time for nearly a decade without any complaints from neighbors. In fact, he was just finishing up mowing a neighbor’s lawn when the coppers showed up a few weeks ago. Someone, it seemed, had called in a complaint, and […]

Warehouse 13: Season Two
To boil it down to its essence, Secret Service agents Myka (Joanne Kelly) and Pete (Eddie McClintock) continue to look for anomalies over the globe that may involve stolen or not-yet-identified artifacts with supernatural powers, which are supposed to be housed at the title site.

Mega Python vs. Gatoroid
It attests to the overall laziness of the “we have the title, so just crap it out” production.

In other words, the show succeeds in crafting an identity that stands outside the large, looming shadow of its superstar source material. For one thing, […]

Dinoshark
That’s all the setup given by the Roger Corman production, and really all a Syfy-weaned audience asks of it. Before we proceed, allow me to explain the complex concept: Dinoshark is half-dinosaur, half-shark. Please re-read that as many as needed for your mind to grasp. The glorious, sun-soaked Puerto Vallarta is the site of many […]

Sharktopus
The latest example can be summed up in one word, and that word is “Sharktopus.” You may have already seen it on Syfy, but Blu-ray restores it to the pristine splendor for which it was intended. Yes, I’m kidding (but not about the Roberts sibs). “Sharktopus” is a CGI quickie from producer Roger Corman, who […]

Massive monstercicles of doom!
Last week, when the weather outside was just a wee bit frosty, a broken pipe created more than a dozen massive icicles that formed precariously on a bridge that spans Interstate 235, according to KOCO-TV. How was it hanging? Try some more than a foot in diameter. A foot! Those aren’t icicles, those are massive […]
