Swamp Thing: The Complete Series Blu-ray Paul Brian McCoy February 11, 2020 DVD/Blu-ray, Reviews, TV Luckily, the Blu-ray transfer of Swamp Thing does a fantastic job of correcting the problem, and while the series is still dark, you can see what’s happening now.
3.0 The Strain 1.12 “Last Rites” Paul Brian McCoy October 5, 2014 Reviews, TV It’s a nice moment both narratively and visually for The Strain, allowing director Peter Weller to really shine, despite the dullness of a lackluster script.
2.8 The Strain 1.11 “The Third Rail” Paul Brian McCoy October 4, 2014 Reviews, TV And unfortunately, so far in The Strain (11 episodes in to a 13-episode season!!) we’re being teased with classic vampire action, but are being hampered by clichés and characters that just don’t add anything to the story.
3.0 The Strain 1.10 “Loved Ones” Paul Brian McCoy September 21, 2014 Reviews, TV On the plus side, when it was good, it was really good. Unfortunately it also meandered around, wasted a lot of time, and fell back on a couple of what are becoming standardized Strain clichés.

4.0 The Strain 1.03 “Gone Smooth” Paul Brian McCoy August 3, 2014 Reviews, TV Any Mighty Boosh fans can be rest assured, the phrase "smooth as the bonnet of a Porsche" was bandied around my house for the next few days.
4.0 The Strain 1.02 “The Box” Paul Brian McCoy July 27, 2014 Reviews, TV Has it really been since the 1979 Tobe Hooper directed 'Salem's Lot miniseries since there were scary vampires on television?
