Time to Get Spooooky

With Halloween quickly approaching, I want to put together at least a few posts celebrating my favorite holiday of the year (take that Birth/Resurrection of Jesus!). Sorry. That was uncalled for. Especially when effing Flag Day is really the bain of my existence.
Anyway, to get things started, I have returned to the familiar stomping grounds [...]

The Bourne Cephalopod

Two weeks ago, myself and my former college roomates ( I was living with them at the time) settled down to watch Super Gator, another original movie from one of the three gnomes that writes all of the stuff on the SciFi channel. While it was a semi-awesome, semi-softcore picture staring Judi Dench lookalike [...]

What’s on SciFi?

I finished Potter, and I’m slowly returning to normal. That said, I’d like to introduce a new segment on GIK. I toyed with it in the past, but I never fully committed, but now that’s going to change, because I think we’d all be better people if we knew what we were missing by [...]

Sweet Winnie Cooper

I caught about the last five minutes of a SciFi channel piece entitled Path of Destruction. From the description on my guide and the various fake newscasts that occur at the end of the picture, I gathered that it invoves some sort of cloud of nanotechnology that takes on a life of its own and [...]

We Know Your Legend’s Ree-ee-al

Opening night of Talent Show 1989 went very well. Now that it’s up and running I can finally return my focus to GIK. I have some potential hits waiting on my DVR, and my mom just sent me a new batch of DVDs, and you know she always sends at least one Grieco-worthy picture in [...]

Mammoth Watch

Well, my good friends at the SciFi channel are at it again. Mammoth is hitting the small screen this weekend, and with a tagline like “We hunted it to extinction, now it’s hunting us” you know it’s gonna be kickass. It also stars Tom Skerritt, a true believer in Grieco and a great American hero. [...]

Cow Baby

So I was all set to watch Blind Horizon, but two things occurred before I could make it happen. First, some crazy shit went down on “The Sopranos,” putting me in a state of heightened Italianess for the rest of the evening. Second, I remembered I taped Minotaur.

The ominous/soothing British lady voiceover that is apparently [...]

Minotaur Watch!

I know I promised a review of Blind Horizon this week, but I have been so distraught over the outcome of “Project Runway” that I haven’t been able to focus. I will get it back together this weekend and have the Kilmer/Shepard amnesia piece review for you on Monday. I did want you all to [...]

Prometheus Unhooked

Since I turned 30 I’ve been going through a whole putting things into perspective phase. This involves watching a lot of ‘80s videos and accepting the fact that I will never be toasted as the Lone Prince of Eurasia as I had once hoped. Looking at things this way has made me realize that my [...]

Man-oh-Man it’s Manticore

Slap my ass and call me Grieco, Manticore is the most ridiculous film I’ve seen since my mom dragged me to Sweet Home Alabama. That doesn’t mean it isn’t worth watching though.
This made-for-Sci-Fi-Channel movie starts out as a hit-you-over-the-head political statement about the current war in Iraq. The story follows a group of American GIs [...]
