First aired July 8th, 2013. Crazy Cop from the previous episode is hauled into jail for killing his fellow officer. He is quick to blame the dome for what happened. Main cop Linda Esquivel locks him up but he pulls the oldest trick in the book: sick prisoner. Crazy Cop manages to outsmart Linda and…
The book-turned-movie Ender’s Game is what made me first ponder this subject, and thanks to the theater release of dystopian YA series, Divergent, I haven’t stopped thinking about it. Perhaps a change in medium can be enlivening to some books, but it is also true that there are just some beloved stories that we would hate…
First aired July 1, 2013. Day two under the dome and the town of Chester’s Mill is brimming with activity. The military has set up camp outside the dome to run experiments and generally ignore the people trapped inside. The real action, of course, takes place in town and in the middle of everything is…
First aired June 24th, 2013. People who live in small towns often have a fear of becoming trapped there for the rest of their lives. The residents of Chester’s Mill are condemned to rural life when a nearly invisible dome smashes down (slicing a cow in half in the process) and cuts them off from…

The Spider-Man franchise proved to be as much in 2002 with the release of the mega-blockbuster Sam Raimi film Spider-Man. This success followed into 2004’s superior effort Spider-Man 2 (a film…

You see trailers for these kinds of pictures and your mind buzzes immediately with the possibilities of what this movie can offer. Armed with a stellar cast, can’t miss premise, and…
The ceremony commemorating the best achievements cinema had to offer last year has come and gone. Awards aren’t everything, but it seems to me a grave injustice has occurred in not recognizing what I believe to be the greatest achievement in cinema of last year. I am referring to the globetrotting, decade spanning six story-lined…
No genre of film has had a spottier track record than that of the video game adaptation. For every feature-length motion picture that clings well below the level of mediocrity like the Prince of Persia movie, there is something like House of the Dead or Silent Hill: Revelation that pierces the bottom of the barrel…
