Editorial Product Review: :After a government-spawned 'superflu' wipes out more than 90 percent of the earth's population, the devastated survivors must decide whether to support or resist the advances of a mysterious stranger from way down South (heh-heh) who wishes to claim this new world order for himself. Although the six-hour length makes it nigh-impossible to digest in one sitting, this well-paced adaptation of Stephen King's apocalyptic magnum opus ranks among the best adaptations of the author's work, with strong performances from ...
Editorial Product Review: essential video:In the trinity of modern horror films, there's the father (Michael Myers of Halloween), the son (Jason of Friday the 13th fame, a knockoff), and the unholy spirit, Freddy Krueger of the Nightmare on Elm Street films. The spectral man who haunted the nightmares of unsuspecting teenagers with deadly consequences, Freddy (as played by Robert Englund) was a truly frightening bogeyman and icon for the '80s. Unlike the hockey-masked Jason, who dispatched horny teenagers with mechanical and ...
Editorial Product Review: :Melrose Place with fangs is more like it. This disappointing prime-time vampire series was adapted from the popular role-playing game 'Vampire: The Masquerade.' The first episode sets up the premise: Julian Luna (Mark Frankel), the ruler of five vampire clans in San Francisco (known as the Kindred), is relentlessly pursued by cop Frank Kohanek (C. Thomas Howell), who mistakenly believes Luna is a mobster. In a melodramatic twist, they share the same lover, Alex. But her revelation to Frank ...

Editorial Product Review: :The law of diminishing returns was obeyed assiduously by the three Poltergeist movies, which have been boxed together to show how Hollywood milks an idea for every last ounce of cash it can. The best in this series is the original, directed by Tobe Hooper and produced by Steven Spielberg (who reportedly also lent a hand behind the camera), about a suburban family whose house turns out to have been built on an Native American burial ground. In the ...
Editorial Product Review:Description:In this science fiction masterpiece of terror, members of a strange youth cult are being drawn to Ringstone Round hoping to be transported to another world.

There seems no end to the massacre from the skies - but united world scientists may yet have a solution.
Editorial Product Review: :Todd McFarlane's SpawnAdult, stylish, and more than a little mean, this full-length animated tale has one very strong thing going for it--it knows how to milk 'cool.' The animation is superior to anything recently devoted to a superhero...or super-antihero, in this case. Al Simmons was a government assassin before he was burned to death and sent to hell (plot summary's starting out nicely, isn't it?). After making a particularly bad deal with the devil--to lead Satan's dark armies in ...
On paper, the Mio DigiWalker P550 looks to be an attractive gadget for the mobile professional, combining the capabilities of a PDA and GPS into one device. However, its poor battery life and subpar navigation skills tell a different story.
Though it won't appeal to the masses quite yet, the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet is a nice, portable device for on-the-go Web browsing, and it has some worthy upgrades.
Though it's expensive, the Sony VAIO VGN-TX670P delivers a great combination of business and entertainment features, long battery life, and unparalleled connectivity in an incredibly ultraportable package.
