It’s time to go back to the Pegasus, when Lee was commander, and Lt. Kendra Shaw, the protg of Admiral Cain, was looking for a way to make up for her choices and also, get some cool flashbacks to the first Cylon War.

Sam Raimi is one director who really knows his genre. I’m not the biggest fan of horror movies, but damn, he knows how to find spooks and chills using minimalist tricks that stopped being fashionable quite a while back. I loved his “Spider-Man 2,” and the scene were Doc Ock emerges is downright frightening in what is supposed to be a lightweight comic book movie.
In “Drag Me to Hell,” he uses every trick he’s got to scare his audience, and while the film has its problems, mood and unease are not them.
The season wraps up with Baltar’s trial, some startling revelations and the return of an old friend.

I have loved “X-Men” since I was kid. In the pre-Tivo days, I tried my hardest to always catch the show when it came on Saturday mornings. When I got my first job, my license and my first access to disposable income, I discovered my town’s lone comic book store and went nuts buying as many of the issues as I could afford (and let’s face it, some I couldn’t).
So, way back in 2000, when the first movie came out, I was excited…and then when I watched the first one I was largely disappointed in a cool and cerebral outing when I wanted the action and emotion that I’ve come to expect from the series.
The preparations for Baltar’s trial are in full swing; the judges are being picked, the lawyers are getting ready for a fight, and after a series of assassination attempts, a new career path opens up for Lee Adama.

I am as guilty of this as the next critic, but I do think horror films get a bad rap.
Sure, the latest crop of films in that genre tends to be splatter-fests, mainly there to shock the audience with as much violence and gore as possible, but the genre still has a lot to offer.
“The Descent,” written and directed by Neil Marshall, curiously encompasses both the positive and negative attributes of a modern horror film.
