Doctor Who 60th Anniversary Special – The Giggle

My goodness, what a ride we have been on the last three weeks celebrating sixty years of Doctor Who. The show has been well served by the three-episode arc with The Doctor and Donna Noble. “The Giggle” is a wild ride Russell T. Davies is known for. This episode makes you think back to “The Sound of Drums” episode where chaos ensues. Neil Patrick Harris as the Celestial Toymaker is a badass villain in this episode. He is just as manic as anyone I have seen on screen. Overall it was a great episode in my humble opinion. It’s been a fun ride with David Tennant and Catherine Tate. This Christmas, Ncuti Gatwa and Millie Gibson become our new Team TARDIS and I believe we are in good hands. Well done Doctor Who. Long live Doctor Who.

Starship Troopers A Treasured Favorite Movie

In an earlier post, I wrote about my top 10 favorite movies and Starship Troopers is one of them. I consider this a bombastic, violent work of art with a whole lot of satire built in. The cast featuring Casper Van Dien, Dina Meyer, Denise Richards, and Neil Patrick Harris put on great performances.

This is a film I could watch anytime but I do save it for around my birthday to keep it special. Everything about this movie is in your face and I appreciate that. The notion of a war between humans and arachnid-like creatures is hard to believe but I don’t care. I try not to overthink it.
