Quick Movie Reviews (2009): Volume Three
Well, my good friend GeorgeMichael has seen quite a few movies this year and he was kind enough to write up these quickie reviews.

Show Review: Dollhouse (Ep. 2)
The second episode of Dollhouse was released last Friday and I have a few thoughts. Firstly, I’m not giving up on the show just yet, but there are certainly some serious things working against it.

That’s all I’ve got. Seriously.Cons: Crappy story, crappy use of franchise characters, crappy acting, crappy everything. Basically the only thing that […]
