THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS!!! INTRODUCTION Lets face it, super hero movies are some of the most difficult types to pull off with completely satisfying results. Its ALWAYS about the good guys vs. the bad guys. What filmmakers must do is find something fresh and interesting within that rigid structure. There have been a few in the genre that geeks will usually pick out as examples that stand above the rest [read...] 
Upon finding out that there would be a movie about Nazis from the moon, invading the earth, everyone’s inner geek rejoiced. Could it really be they are making a movie that reads like a video game or 60s comic book about something really hilarious? Could it be they are actually investing in a movie that is actually coming with an original idea? It seemed so. Iron Sky (imdb), directed by [read...] 
Ridley Scott’s latest is one of our most anticipated films of the year and from the looks of the new trailer it has epic written all over it. It’s been decades since the director of such classics as Alien and Blade Runner has worked in the science fiction genre so this is also really a return to his roots. The dynamic vision he brought to those groundbreaking projects is definitely [read...] 
After directing the low budget cult classics Evil Dead 1 and 2, Director Sam Raimi signed on to make his first big studio feature. It was a film based on a short story he wrote that paid tribute to some of his favorite Universal horror films such as The Invisible Man and Frankenstein. Darkman was a blending of the crime, horror, comedy and super hero genres that exploded onto the [read...] 
It’s pretty obvious to see that The Avengers is going to be one of the geekiest movie events of the year. It will finally bring together some of the most powerful super heroes in the Marvel Universe including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and The Hulk who will also be joined by SHIELD agents Hawkeye, Black Widow and that eye patch wearing badass: Nick Fury! The group will be facing [read...] 
The first thing that caught my attention about The Hunger Games was the furious looking poster which featured the iconic mockingjay pin that is worn by characters in the story. The second was the fact it was to be a post-apocalyptic film (I’m a huge fan of these kinds of sci-fi subgenre films). The third was when I heard it described as a Hollywood version of Battle Royale (the Japanese [read...] 
Director Luc Besson who gave us such action-crime classics as La Femme Nikita and Leon: The Professional is back with a new sci-fi space adventure called Lockout. Guy Pearce stars as Snow a government agent falsely accused of a crime. He is later given a chance at reprieve ONLY if he can rescue The President’s daughter from a space prison after it’s been taken over by the dangerous convicts. Lockout [read...] 
Unlike post-apocalyptic films which Seb covered HERE, the dystopian subgenre focuses on a world that has been dramatically changed due to such problems as failing economy, over crowding, crime, bio-chemical plagues and religion. The opposite of a utopia (paradise), these societies are usually extremely repressed and run under Governmental, Alien and Corporate based law. The dystopian movies offer audiences yet another kind of excitement from seeing twisted, alternate versions of [read...] 
Ridley Scott and Science Fiction, it’s always a good combination. His 1979 smash Alien was my introduction to his work and it really left an impression on me as to what cinema could do to terrify and thrill a viewer. It was like an Alfred Hitchcock movie in space. Years later I discovered Blade Runner and ever since its been one of my most favorite films. There’s just something about [read...] 
Originally intended to be a direct prequel to his Alien franchise, Director Ridley Scott’s upcoming sci-fi adventure thriller Prometheus instead takes place in the same movie universe as the Alien films but will deal with entirely separate subject matter. The actual storyline/plot is sort of vague but it sounds like it will be about space engineers that work for Weyland Industries before its merger with Yutani Corporation (two companies that [read...] |
