As promised, here is a review of Mutant Chronicles. Overall, not bad. In many parts of the movie, the flow and story arc went hand-in-hand, giving the movie some kind of believability even though it is a scifi movie. I am big on character development and believability. Thomas Jane and Devon Aioki, were the most…

Mutant Chronicles to Make SciFi Premiere
Lots of talk has been centered around whether or not Mutant Chronicles will ever get a release. They will, but it won’t be a theatrical one. It will air on SciFi Channel at 8:00 CT on Saturday. Chronicles stars Thomas Jane (Punisher, Kill Shot), and Ron Perlman (Hellboy, Blade II). It was heavily built up…
Comedy-Horror: Genre Unto Itself Or Stupidity
I watched the remake of Night of the Living Dead and Killer Pad. Not knowing what to expect, I took an open mind going into it. There is no possible way I can get that time back in my life so I have to say, I’m pretty disappointed. That leads to this post. Why is…
Promising New Shows For SciFi
With the SciFi Channel presumably losing viewers have a promising lineup in the months to come. It is highlighted by the new show Warehouse 13 (think Indiana Jones and the Kindom of the Crystal Skulls meets Sanctuary). Shows will return like Sanctuary and Eureeka (on contract for two seasons).

I Eat My Words: Drag Me To Hell Was Pretty Good
Call it what you will, but after thoroughly trashing Sam Raimi’s new thriller Drag Me To Hell before I laid an eye on it, I judged it. I can truthfully say now that the movie was not bad at all. In fact, the movie was pretty good. It had the right amount of chills to…
New Stargate series and Sanctuary = Awesome Friday Lineup
For Stargate fans who thought it was over…it’s not. Stargate Universe is the third installment of the series behind SG-1 and Atlantis. It is set to come out in the fall in the late September/early October timeframe, about the same time all new shows will be airing. Stargate Universe will not see any cast members…
