If you haven’t yet, see The Thing. As might have been tipped in previous posts, you might have guessed that this version is a prequel to the original. That’s the only spoiler I will provide for you. If you have seen the original you knew how atmospheric it was and how claustrophobic it made you…
A Defense for Scifi
I’m not referring to the channel; rather I’m defending the genre. The genre is a proud genre — one that goes back years and years, even before the widespread use of cinema and books. Granted, my take on science fiction is different than many others. I have a simple, straightforward approach to science fiction. As…
Real Steel is the Real Deal
Yes, the movie hasn’t come out yet, but I have to write on the preliminary cut of the movie. It is good (pre cut). There are several things on which to like when it comes to the film. Hugh Jackman’s role does not do service to the role of the robot. It’s true, the robot…
Early Review of Alphas
Amongst the new shows on television as a whole, Alphas ranks pretty well. Considering Syfy’s lack of good shows (outside the Stargate series), Alphas does bring in a fresh sigh of relief and something to look forward to during the week. Even if you don’t watch Syfy on a regular basis, this show brings it…
A Weekend of Chill Factors
Those who believe that Apollo 18 is a rehash should think again. While it did exhibit some of the camera work that was so prevalent in Blair Witch and those types of movies, this movie added a different dimension. It added a very claustrophobic arena that was simply hard to overcome. While being so far…
Ghost Rider 2 Trailer Premier
We all saw the abomination that was Ghost Rider in 2007 but now five years later, the release of Ghost Rider 2 will premier, in spite of the unpopularity of the first installment. Ghost Rider 2, however, looks great — much less hokie than the first one. In Rider 2, Johnny is bountying once again…
Things to Look Forward to after Comic Con
As promised, I have a synopsis of the major events I was able to attend. This year’s Comic Con was quite secretive in that there were many high-profile celebrities that did not make it to the event and “stand-ins” happened to be there. There were also more teasers than there were actual real newsworthy events. …
Doctor Who Fix
If you just can’t wait for the second part of this year’s series of Doctor Who to begin airing later in the year, not to fear. In case you don’t already know, this series will mark the whopping 32nd series of Who overall – and that’s only on television, let alone the numerous radio series,…
Rumors are True: Battleship Official Trailer
Unfortunately the rumors about a Battleship movie are true. Here is the proof. http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/battleship.html?showVideo=1#belowNav The cast and crew of the movie were there during the San Diego Comic Con. While the trailer looks like a joke, it is true to the point that Liam Neeson himself confirmed the rumors. It is understandable if there is…
Two Must-See Trailers
The oft-hyped Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises, hits theaters in 2012 but it’s teaser trailer is available here: http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi3119422489 Note: There is a fake movie trailer with Anne Hathaway and Robin Williams (or maybe a look alike) but that is a fan made trailer. The other trailers is The Thing. It has been disputed…
