I swear that the name of the movie Underwater, a film which takes place under the water, is not a gag. It's just that the creators literally could not think of anything more clever than just stating the location of the movie. This is the eq...
Neil Blomkamp, District 9 director and man who has proved he's able to make big, bloody sci-fi, is officially off RoboCop Returns, citing that he'll be working on a new horror project instead. MGM evidentially won't wait for him to finish b...
Whatever your feelings may be about the original trilogy, the prequel trilogy, or the new trilogy, one element of Star Wars has remained unassailable: John Williams' score. In a career full of highlights, Star Wars was his career's launch p...
Despite its blasts of gore and streaks of profanity, Nekrotronic has a pure straight-to-cable energy. Its central conceit of demons attempting to use an app game to infect all the world's souls is cute and novel, the sort of idea that netwo...
The fallout from Disney buying Fox is far and wide. While the obvious things like the X-Men coming to the MCU are just beginning to roll there's smaller stuff as well. For instance, The Orville is leaving Fox and moving over to Hulu for its...
Be still my Star Trek loving heart. If showrunner Michael Chabon wanted to give every Trek fan in Hall H multiple orgasms with the SDCC trailer for Star Trek: Picard he succeded wildly. This thing is half nostalgia, half fan...
Hey kids, do you remember Sarah Palin? What feels like centuries ago, in the years bordering 2010, the former Alaska governor became something of a firebrand when she ran with John McCain's doomed 2008 presidential bid. The thought of this ...
Pop-up bars are so blasé at this point. They have truly lived up to their name as they seemingly pop up all the time in the major cities of the world, mostly to latch onto whatever the current cultural zeitgeist is and pull some extr...
Avengers: Endgame wants to beat Avatar so bad, they are willing to try anything. That included a rerelease of the film featuring new footage over the weekend. Could a couple of extra minutes dethrone James Cameron's furry blue tyrant k...
People often talk about demons or devils on the internet--or even that the internet itself is the devil--but it's always a metaphor for hatred, violence, or division. That's stupid as hell, so it's a good thing we have Nekrotronic around t...
There is nothing in the world that is perfect, but the Mike Hodges directed 1980 Flash Gordon film with a soundtrack by Queen is probably the closest that humanity is going to get to it. However, for some reason, Hollywood wants to move on ...
A Quiet Place is a super great movie that deserved all the praise and success it received last year. We even gave it our coveted Golden Cage for best horror movie! But such success always comes with a sinister caveat--sequels. It's been kno...
A giant bloody eyeball darting around, embedded behind someone's intestines is the sort of image that always gets the attention of a critic with as refined a palate as my own. If you see the above trailer and find it to be too needlessly b...
At the moment there isn't much demanding our attention on WB's not-yet-named streaming service, but that doesn't mean it won't come. The biggest volley so far? The announcement that Denis Villenueve will be directing the pilot for a female-...
In the past years science fiction has become far more prestigious as seminal directors like Christopher Nolan and Alfonso Cuaron use the genre to explore humanity and ask us challenging questions. It's actually something that science ficti...
For All Mankind is one of Apple TV+'s launch shows and it asks the not-so-daring question of what if the Russians landed on the moon first. At first blanch this seems a bit trivial compared to other alternate history programs where th...
Carpenter Brut, a horror synthwave musician who just brings the entire house down, doing the score for some trippy sci-fi epic is one of the coolest prospects I could imagine. This teaser for Shudder's Blood Machines only offers the slimme...
Buckle up and hold onto your cookies, nerds, because Season 2 of Final Space is officially on its way. This week two new trailers have dropped for the second instalment, which were released on both Youtube (by AdultSwim, the Cartoon Ne...
Well, if you're going to reignite excitement over a franchise that I'd struggle to still call a franchise at this point this trailer is the way to do it. Taking the cliche tactic of playing a slow, dramatic cover of a song over an action m...
Vanity Fair of all places has pulled the big exclusive for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker delivering a detail-filled behind-the-scenes story on the upcoming film that basically the entire franchise is betting on to be really good. Th...
Perfect lets you know what you're in for from its opening shot: A pulsing abstract image with a heavy seizure warning shifts in shape and gains clarity and texture as a ponderous voice recites Bachelor's Degree philosophy about life and lov...
We learned over the weekend the incredibly awesome news that The Orville will be getting a third season. Everyone was very excited. Well, all the smart people that watch the show because it's the true spiritual successor to all things ...
With a striking blend of cyberpunk and a sort of primal horror to its photography, Eddie Alcazar's Perfect looks like the kind of film that can seep straight into your subconscious. Produced by Stephen Soderbergh and scored by Flying Lotus...
Man, oh man, oh Gemini Man. Where do we even start? I guess I'll start with the very self-serious and techno-garbled rendition of "Forever Young," which is just the worst song choice I've heard for a trailer in forever. I don't know if it'...
For the past few years, we've all had our speculative science fiction itch scratched by the return and resurgence of Black Mirror and all of the shows it inspired. But despite having a new show with updated visuals and storytelling techniqu...
I know that being down on reboots and remakes these days puts you in the same crowd as people who cry and complain about anything they decide they suddenly hold sacred, like Ghostbusters (you're really that attached to a franchise with one ...
Alien is about to turn 40, and heaven forbid we miss an anniversary these days without an opportunity to market and sell more Blu-rays and digital copies. However, 20th Century Fox Disney actually came up with something cool this ...
I think Nicolas Cage only makes weird movies now, and as a fan of only weird movies I couldn't be more thrilled. The man has an unbelievable ability to elevate anything thrown his way, and films like this are the perfect excuse for the Acad...
If one thing's going to strike you straight off the bat with Starfish, it's going to be that this movie is perhaps too hip for its own good. You got cassettes, rotary phones, plaid shirts, old movie theater tickets, tea, Victorian-era furni...
I feel like Edge of Tomorrow (or Live. Die. Repeat. if you prefer) is a movie I am constantly telling people to watch because it's so damn good but it still lacks the viewership it should (eg. everyone). I've also been telling Hollywoo...
Maybe it's just me, but it seems like Denis Villeneuve is criminally under-discussed and appreciated. He's given us flawless films, one after another (Prisoners, Enemy, Blade Runner 2049) in such a short span of time, and this train ain't s...
Last night, a rumor broke from outlet Super Bro Movies that Rian Johnson was no longer producing his own Star Wars Trilogy. Seeing as how the project was announced a few years back with little news in the interim, people began to see the ru...
"I don't make pizza," Dean Cain says alone in a warehouse next to the disembodied bust of a mannequin. He smiles and bites into an inexplicable apple. In a movie rife with lonely, delusional men, he might be the loneliest and most delusiona...
My favorite animal as a child was a wolf, because I was a little boy, and wolves are objectively the coolest thing a little boy could like. As an adult I still find them very rad, and films featuring wolves (or weird deer) tick up about ei...
If someone were going to sell me a sex robot, I'd hope it would be Dean Cain. Like any good Silicon Valley entrepreneur, he has a palpably greasy smarminess, but you kind of like it. That's sort of how I feel about all of 2050 from this tr...
Everyone has a moment when they realize they've peaked. Maybe the so-called midlife is a reflex from this. You're sitting on the couch, watching Jeopardy, still trying to figure out why they ask with answers and answer with questions, and i...
Mark Millar's Millarworld comics are about to hit Netflix in a big way over the coming years as the streaming company tries to replace its Marvel content with something else now that Disney is taking it. They scooped up Millarworld in Augus...
Last year was not a very good year. Politics were garbage. Economics were garbage. The world is probably going to end in like thirty years. I'm never going to be able to buy a house, and if I did it would most likely be swept away in a stor...
If you love romantic comedies and sci-fi then you will enjoy Time Freak. When I first saw the trailer, I really didn’t know what I was getting myself into. At first glance, it looks like another version of 50 First Dates but with the ...
Alex Kurtzman, he who controls all of Star Trek, dropped some Trek news during an interview with THR. One of the nuggets was that there isn't one but two animated Star Trek shows coming. The first, Star Trek: Lower Decks, from the...
