Take two of our favorite time-traveling properties and merge them together in a fun and frenzied animated short that teams up Doctor Who and Back to the Future and 2013. Artist, writer, and professional Transformer devotee James Farr has created something that as improbable as it seems, works, and works well!!! “Blink to the Future” stars the Doctor as Doc Brown, Rory Williams as Marty McFly and Amy Pond as Jennifer the adventures span from 1885 to 2015 and around the universe. We even get to see 1885’s Clara envisioned as River Song which was a blast to see! Lots of great detail that you catch re-watching it a few times, from message signage on the 2015 billboards, the Sonic Screwdriver built into the 1885 rifle and the fact that Doc is pulling Marty on 9-Stein with the streamers from the Lyons Estates Model Home display, well done James! Farr jokes about this being something we’d love to see on a Saturday Morning, but trust us, we WOULD!!! Adding some screen grabs below for your viewing pleasure…check it out and let us know what you think!!!

Go BACK to the FUTURE this New Years Eve!
If you live in Southern California, have younger children and want to do something fun for them for New Years Eve since most of them are asleep by midnight, then head over to the Discovery Science Center in Anaheim. Instead of New Years Eve, they are hosting a 1980’s / Back to the Future themed Noon Years Eve celebration that allow kids to partake in an early countdown to 2013, about 12 hours earlier. Instead of champagne they sip Apple Cider and they get to experience a party amongst their peers and parents, while also partaking in games, activities, science experiments, 80’s dance parties and more! For fans of the movie Back to the Future, a replica Delorean will be on hand for photo ops, but no guarantees that Doc Brown will be offering parents a trip to the future to see if their 2013 resolutions were met. Read ahead for details on events, times and ticket prices…
Django Unchained, a Very Creative Western (Movie Review)
December 26th, 2012 John Delia
Taking a page out of history, Quentin Tarantino adds his version of the unsettling times in his newest film Django Unchained. Much like his Inglourious Basterds this outrageous adventure generates tongue-in-cheek satire and raises eyebrows in it’s nearly 3 hours of ‘creative’ damnation. Taking the film with a grain of salt, the audience should get as much movie madness out of Django as they were exposed with Basterds.
The story finds bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) traveling in his tooth topped horse and buggy on a lonely deserted road two years prior to the American Civil War. Traveling toward him on the same road a slave trader with several chained slaves are about to cross his path. The two meet up, start a cautious conversation and Schultz offers to buy one of the slaves. The slavers resist and a gun fight pursues with Schultz taking the slave Django (Jamie Foxx) from the group. After Schultz turns Django into a budding bounty hunter, the two start out on a blood curdling rampage across the south.
EXCLUSIVE: Santa’s Son Talks About the Induction of A CHRISTMAS STORY Into National Film Registry
December 23rd, 2012 Steve Czarnecki 
Jeff Gillen as Santa Claus in “A Christmas Story”
Each year, the National Film Registry releases it’s new list of 25 films that it deems to be culturally, historically or aesthetically significant. This year some of the contenders comprised of Hollywood favorites of past and present like Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Dirty Harry , A League of Their Own and The Matrix. But this year, one film inducted into this list, the 1983 holiday classic, A Christmas Story, has the Gillen family of South Florida beaming and with good reason; the unforgettable grumpy Santa Claus character in that movie who warns little Ralphie that he’ll shoot his eye out and then gives him the boot (literally) was portrayed by none other than actor Jeff Gillen.
Now, it’s been almost 30 years since the release of that film, and sadly 17 years since Jeff Gillen passed away unexpectedly, but that doesn’t stop his family, nor the legions of fans of the film from flocking to the TV or DVD every year to watch one of the most cherished, beloved and institutionalized holiday films of all time. I’ve been friends with the Gillens for close to 25 years since I went to school with Jeff’s son, Phillip. When I heard about the National Film Registry’s induction of A Christmas Story, I thought I’d catch up with Phil and ask him to recall what growing up with his father being one of the most iconic film Santa’s was like and how they feel about the movie when viewing it today. Read ahead after the jump to find out…
