They say that opposites don't attract, but sometimes they do, because that's how magnets work. Perhaps this little-known science fact explains how an alien family crash-lands on a craphole planet like Earth in the above teaser for Solar Op...
[Welcome to Your Week on VOD: a rundown of all the latest blockbusters and indie releases to digitally rent and own for all your couch potato needs. All listings are based off VUDU and Amazon Prime Video.] With theaters across the globe shu...
If you ever sat through Looper wondering, "Yeah, but when are they gonna bone?" then I might just have the movie for you! Same Boat centers on a time travelling assassin named James who comes from the 28th century (as if we'll make i...
The main draw to Adventure Time for me was always its art style. It was clean, carefree, trippy, and just a bit crude. It often felt like a cartoonish version of a prog rock vinyl sleeve, and I super dug it. The main problem, though, was t...
It's no huge secret that A Quiet Place is almost certainly going to be a franchise that will long outstay its welcome and tarnish the reputation of the original like oh so many sci-fi and horror franchises do. The screenwriters for the firs...
Last week, we were promised that everything in Doctor Who was about to change. That was a bold declaration. While I can’t say that everything changed, I can say that this was the most impactful episode on the larger universe of the sh...
Amazon released a trailer today for a mind-bending television series called Tales From the Loop. The show looks really cool and very effects heavy. Amazon sure isn't skimping on the budget here.
Last week, I was surprised to see the return of Cybermen to Doctor Who. I was further surprised to see that the episode was the beginning of a two-parter. This week, I was surprised to find that we have just experienced the middle of a thre...
A butt-based thriller is squeezing toward release, and my undercarriage is clenched with excitement! Epic Pictures has nabbed the US rights to Butt Boy, a film about a sober detective trying to solve a child's mysterious disappearance, and ...
Last week’s episode teased us with a moment of the Doctor pondering Frankenstein. This week saw the fulfillment of that promise, albeit in an unexpected manner. There was a monster made from a dead man, but it was not the Frankenstein...
Last week’s episode of Doctor Who was a misstep. Thankfully, this week saw an improvement in the show’s writing. The Doctor and her companions face fear in “Can You Hear Me?”
Syfy has released a teaser trailer for their upcoming television show starring Alan Tudyk called Resident Alien. It looks to be a comedy series about an alien disguised as a doctor in a small town.
Incredibly low-budget dinosaur movies are perhaps a trend older than dinosaurs themselves. Somehow, with films like Jurassic Games and Iron Sky: The Coming Race, I find myself like a prehistoric mosquito stuffed with dinosaur blood and res...
This week's recap is a bit late due to technical difficulties and a few other factors. Nevertheless, I hope you'll join us as we take a look at the most recent Doctor Who episode, "Praxeus." Unlike last week, this episode stands almost enti...
This is a bit of neat news for wallet-conscious film buffs. Robert Rodriguez's low budget sci-fi horror Red 11 has found itself a streaming home--and that home is exclusively on Tubi. For those unaware, Tubi is a free streaming platform, an...
I guess everything has to be a TV series, now. So, in a move that perhaps makes less sense than the film itself, A24 and Silver Reel are currently embroiled in a bidding war for the TV rights for a potential Under the Skin spinoff. Under th...
Richard Stanley's 1990 cult hit Hardware and follow-up Dust Devil have careful threads that artistically weave pulp, world-building, and theme together. Hardware is at once a grimy hard rock music video of a killer robot movie and a trippy,...
I was so happy to see the Doctor and friends go on an adventure with Nikola Tesla this week. It was a real treat, and a major step up from last week. I enjoy when Doctor Who takes the time to give us a glimpse into the lives of historical f...
Shane Carruth has only directed two films, but they’ve been memorable, strange, and challenging. Carruth’s 2004 time travel film Primer is an excellent example of mind-bending science fiction on a limited budget. His 2013 f...
We all know without argument that doing drugs is both fun and cool--but can it make you a better person? The Wave seeks to answer this question as lawyer Frank (Justin Long) skips out on his wife for a night so he can drink, make out with a...
This week Doctor Who saw our heroes on vacation on the planet known as Orphan 55. Let’s be honest, after last week, the Doctor really needed a holiday. Of course, as with nearly all of the Doctor’s relaxation time...
Star Trek: Picard is about to start streaming. Star Trek: Discovery has a third season in production. This week we learned that two additional, unannounced, live action shows are in development. It's a good time to be a Star Trek fan.
The Brian K. Vaughan/Tony Harris comic book series Ex Machina is getting a big screen adaptation through Legendary Entertainment. The film will be called The Great Machine, with a screenplay by Anna Waterhouse and Joe Shrapnel. The duo rece...
Last week, we were left with the Doctor in a precarious position. She was trapped in a mysterious place. Meanwhile, her companions were in a plane moving rapidly towards the ground (and without a cockpit, to boot). This week, the Doctor is ...
In my review for The Force Awakens I concluded by saying that the film was a strong blend of nostalgia and modernity, mixing our love for the original trilogy with a host of new characters and ideas. My concern then was that Disney would no...
We now have our fist official look at Color Out of Space, starring Nicolas Cage and directed by Richard Stanley, and it's shaping up to be a trip. The beautiful neon-drenched scenery, bloody and strange hallucinations, and a shotgun freako...
Want to hear a crowd of Star Trek fans basically go crazy and lose all self-control? Have Patrick Stewart walk out on stage, which is exactly what happened at NYCC when he took the stage to discuss Star Trek: Picard. Everyone else got ...
At the Star Trek: Picard panel today at NYCC a new trailer for the film dropped announcing that the series will debut on January 23rd on CBS All Access. The show is going to star a host of old Star Trek alum including Data, Troi, Riker, an...
With basically the entire cast and creative team behind Star Trek: Discovery on stage NYCC went in-depth on the next season of the show. It will pick up 930 years in the future after the events of the last season, but that doesn't mea...
In this contest, you can win Men in Black: International on Blu-ray, as well as a matching poster from Mondo! Physical prizes, ho! Giving away actual, tangible objects is one of my favorite things, so today I've got a double dose ...
RLJE has teamed with SpectreVision and XYZ films to try to brew up another perfect storm of success similar to Mandy by acquiring the rights to Richard Stanley's Color Out of Space before its Midnight Madness world premier at this year's TI...
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...
