A place for all things geek... ONCE UPON A GEEK is a blog that focuses on a variety of geeky topics, including: comic books, Doctor Who, Star Wars (classic and legacy characters), role-playing, 80’s TV shows, and science fiction in general.

I agree completely with James Mishler’s review from Comic [...]
Looking for some background noise while I sorted through paperwork Saturday night, I turned on a Sci-Fi channel. Being Saturday night, they were of course running their monster/creature movie of the week. This time it was Sabertooth. A TV movie made back in 2002.
