Yes, this trailer has been around for a while; too bad. I like it, so here it is again.
Yep, tomorrow night on BBC America they have a full set of Nerdist programming scheduled, including a new hour long Comic-Con special. Who knows, there might even be some footage of Team Nerdist vs. Team Doctor Who bowling footage.
Revolution kicks off on NBC on September 17th, and I was planing to be watching it anyways because it is science fiction by J.J.Abrams. But after watching the trailer I had to mark it in my calendar so I don’t miss it; this one looks like fun.
It doesn’t look like we get any genre movies this week, so I thought I would mention the documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi, about the award winning ten seat sushi restaurant in a subway station in Tokyo and the man that runs it.
We do a little better in TV this time, with both Touched By An Angel: The Complete Fifth Season and Touched By An Angel: Seasons 1 through 5. The show ran 9 seasons, so the latter set brings you to just past the halfway point. If you missed it when it originally aired it was quite a well done fantasy about helpful spirits. The other TV release is Sheena: The Complete Second Season, which completes the series which ran from 2000 to 2002. The original Sheena TV series ran in the 1950s, and both series were based on the comic book which ran from 1937 to 1953, the very first comic book series with a female protagonist. Wil Eisner and Jerry Iger created the character, which they based on H. Rider Haggard’s 1886 book She.
The anime release for this week is Golgo 13: The Professional, and that is more spy thriller than sci-fi or fantasy. It is also a re-release, the original feature length film came out in 1983. And yes, this is the movie, not the OVA.
The London version of the Doctor Who Experience was amazing, and I loved visiting it. But it shut down and moved a while ago, and finally today the Doctor Who Experience Cardiff opens its doors on its new home. Be sure to check it out, it is well worth spending the time to explore.
You still can’t see Continuum here, at least not yet, but there are rumors they are working on a deal for a US network to carry it. In the meantime though, there is another trailer to watch.
