From 1989, The Hillside Stranglers is almost as frightening as the actual events that this movie is based on. I lived through these events, watching them unfold on television, and it was a scary time. I would have been terrified had I lived in that area where …

Bravo’s show Top Chef is quite exciting to watch. While I myself hate to cook the show has very interesting challenges to the people fighting for the title Top chef. While it is like your regular reality shows where one gets taken off the show weekly, its …

I’ve never been much of a fan of The Twilight Zone: The Thirty-Fathom Grave, which is just a little overdone for my tastes. Essentially, it’s a story about a navy cruiser that picks up the sound of hammering on its sonar. Investigation leads to the fact …

Basically, Amanda is hosting a dinner party at her home. Her guests are her hospital family — Mark, Jack, Delores, …

One of my favorite comedy series at this point is “Mad TV” which I have noticed is broadcast on the channels Comedy Central and Fox. I do not watch it on Fox though, since I’ve noticed that it seems to be broadcast there when I am in the middle …

One of the things I’ve always remembered about the filming of The Twilight Zone: Third from the Sun is how the show is filmed. It’s the camera angles that really give it a warped feel. It’s vital for the story and it puts the viewer off guard.
The …

Well, I didn’t know kids could be suspended from school in the 1970s just for smoking so I learned something today from That 70s Show at lunch. The episode, Eric Gets Suspended, is definitely an interesting one.
Basically, Eric isn’t the one who is smoking, Donna is apparently rebelling for …

Although this episode did not involve any super dramatic events or incredible mysteries; the way it was shot made it really amazing. I think the most amazing aspect of it, was the way they filmed it. The camera and editing style have managed to deliver a real sense of, …

Out of all of the Snoopy TV specials, this is my favorite. With the scenes of breakdancing and the energetic songs, it’s the one that says “1980s” the most. I grew up in the 80s so I love a lot of stuff from that decade. And there’s just something …

I enjoyed this episode. The story was that Clark and Lana are together when lightning strikes and Clark’s powers are transferred to Lana. Clark still has his powers and now so does Lana.

The Ghostbusters are called in to bust the ghost of Casey Jones, the legendary engineer who died in a train wreck a hundred years ago. This was a great episode, it was tense, it had plenty of character moments, great jokes, and very little of Slimer.
The spud does …
