I wasn't a huge fan of Jurassic World when it first came out, but I can tell you that I liked that fact that it ended with t-rex, a raptor, and a genetically modified dino fighting it out in an obvious homage to early Hollywood m...
When you're a child of four, you do everything with your brothers and sisters. You play together, you eat together, you even get haircuts together. And, if one of you is due for a dentist appointment, all of you are. There needs to be an...
A Quite Place has made John Krasinski into a hot-as-hell director now thanks to its massive box office, and the fact that it was, you know, actually directed really well. And so his next project is pretty hotly anticipated. THR is repo...
Arguing about The Last Jedi is the Internet's most favorite thing to do. Half the conversations I have about any movie at all somehow turn into discussions on the film. It's getting kind of tiring... so lets pour a little lighter ...
Steven Spielberg's adaptation of Ernest Cline's novel Ready Player One came out this past week. Despite Matt's review, the movie is doing quite well at the box office, so it's no surprise that studios are going to be clamoring over all of E...
I've used the "insert X here" sub-header joke before, and now I really wish I hadn't because in other instances it was just a joke, but in the case of Ready Player One, Stephen Spielberg's new film based on the insanely popular book of...
Prospect is marketed as a horror film. A sci-fi film too. Before I saw it, another SXSW attendee told me, "Yes, it's those things, but it's a western." OK. So genre-wise, it's a little bit of everything, sort of like a hobo scramble. Y...
Netflix released a trailer for its upcoming film The Titan, in which Sam Worthington is transformed by SCIENCE into a blueish white alien thing capable of surviving on Titan, as the Earth is apparently dying. From the trailer, it seems the...
I do not envy anyone that wants to make a high concept sci-fi epic. There are so many different pieces that need to fall into place in order to make something that's truly special and engaging. Most of the time, when you see a massive sci-f...
First, go watch Dredd. It's fantastic. A cult science fiction classic that actually deserves to be a science fiction classic without the cult. Now after watching it you'll note that Peter Travis directed it, and you'll wonder how a director...
Tommy Wiseau, a man known for making a movie all on his own without any vision or preparation or any idea what he was doing and somehow pulling it off, will be bringing his singular personality to a new project sometime in the future. After...
Sometimes when I sleep, I dream. Most nights it's the one where I'm Leatherface, and I have to chainsaw-fight the Power Rangers in a wrestling ring for SummerSlam. But other, more intimate dreams go a little something like this. Nicolas Cag...
Annihilation is one of the best recent print to film adaptations. Strangely enough, this is not because it’s entirely faithful to the source material. Far from it. Sure, the bones might be same, as they are between any two human being...
Amazon Studios will be partnering with Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment and writer Dennis Kelly to adapt Consider Phlebas, the first novel in Ian M. Banks’ The Culture series. Consider Phlebas is a space opera focused on the w...
Sharknado is an annual franchise that, in its heart of hearts, seeks to answer one nagging question: How do you jump the shark when the sharks can fly? Given the synopsis for the Syfy's upcoming Sharknado 6, I'd say they're trying their dam...
Red Dwarf is a British sci-fi comedy that aired its first episode on February 15, 1988, a pilot that almost never saw the light of broadcast due to a few trivial script rejections that eventually saw the project accepted by BBC Northwest, ...
Stranger Things season 3 will run 8 episodes, down one from season 2 but the same as season 1. No reason was announced, but since season 2 felt like it meandered a bit more than season 1, it may just indicate tighter storytell...
What do you do when you have a high concept science fiction movie from the man who directed the best high concept science fiction film of the past decade, Ex Machina? You shove it into a corner and sell off the overseas distribution rights ...
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the Cloverfield continuum, The Cloverfield Paradox happened. The third installment in the Cloverfield trilogy / continuum / universe offers nothing new and little that's exciting. ...
If you were to ask me years ago what I thought about modern day science fiction movies I could have gone on at length about how the genre that once made us look in on ourselves and think about who we are as a person had given up on telli...
J.J. Abrams hasn't sat down to write a TV show since Fringe ended, but that doesn't mean people weren't clamoring to get their hands on his next effort, a sci-fi drama called Demimonde. HBO has picked up the show and is going straight ...
It's been almost five years since we've heard anything about the Steven Spielberg-helmed Halo live-action TV series, and if you think you're gonna get a release window well then you best HALO jump out of a spaceship because there is nothi...
We live in a time of fear. Fear of other people, fear of our government. We’re afraid of where we are, but more than that, we are terrified of where we are going. We can hardly predict what will happen in a given year, and technology ...
Another year, another Star Wars film to over analyze and get all nitpicky about. While I found The Last Jedi to be a weaker film than The Force Awakens, I had a good time with it and was surprised at how many tropes the film subverted. Inst...
I really thought I had gotten some Star Wars fatigue. In the build up to the release of Star Wars: The Last Jedi I just wasn't feeling that usual excitement, but as the day of my screening got closer it started to swell....
While I like the Marvel Cinematic Universe overall, I've never been that interested in the Thor movies. I love the Walt Simonson run on The Mighty Thor, but the previous live-action films featuring the God of Thunder never really appealed t...
It's finally arrived. The first trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi just premiered during Monday Night Football on ESPN. This is the first look we've gotten at The Last Jedi since the teaser debuted back in April....
I was all aboard for the reboot of X-Files when it landed, and then I watched it and remembered why the show had stopped. It's not that it got bad, but it just didn't have anywhere else to go, and it still didn't. It had jumped the sh...
Pacific Rim has a pretty strong following of people who loved it. I found it to be a flawed spectacle that left me wishing for a sequel so that they could make a better movie. And now we have that sequel. After its appearanc...
Denis Villeneuve has done the impossible. He has pulled off a feat that most directors won't even take a stab at. He has delivered unto us something we haven't seen for years. With this act Villeneuve has firmly established himself as one o...
The original Blade Runner, starring Harrison Ford and directed by Ridley Scott was released in 1982 and took place in 2019. The follow-up, Blade Runner 2049 is jumping ahead a bit into the future as we've nearly reached the t...
With the news this morning that JJ Abrams would be writing and directing Star Wars Episode IX it probably won't come to anyone as much of a surprise that the movie has now been delayed. The film was originally scheduled for a summer re...
Lucasfilm has officially announced that J.J. Abrams will return to the Star Wars franchise to direct Episode IX. This is a week after Lucasfilm parted ways with Colin Trevorrow, citing creative differences. (In truth, Trevorrow may have bee...
Lucasfilm's sudden parting with director Colin Trevorrow earlier this week was a shock. While the official statement from Lucasfilm suggested a mutual decision to split due to creative differences, an unnamed Hollywood executive famili...
Lucasfilm unexpectedly parted ways with director Colin Trevorrow yesterday, leaving Star Wars Episode IX without a director for the time being. This is just the latest creative shakeup at Lucasfilm, which continues to have issues when hirin...
Black Mirror's move to Netflix for its third season (or third series, as they say in the UK) didn't diminish the show's quality. Charlie Brooker showed off some of his best Twilight Zone-esque dystopian stories, including high points like t...
Gosh I love Don Hertzfeldt. The indie animator's handmade, in-camera works made a major impression in the 1990s and early 2000s thanks to shorts like Lily and Jim and Rejected. Hertzfeldt went on to received major critical accolades thanks ...
Han Solo and Obi-Wan Kenobi have their own forthcoming standalone/spin-off movies, so why not other characters from the Star Wars universe? Makes sense, right? This may explain Disney & Lucasfilm's nonsensical decision to develop a Jabb...
Even though the stand-alone Han Solo movie has gone through some major problems, Disney isn't giving up on Star Wars spin-offs. Heat Vision confirmed today that an Obi-Wan Kenobi movie is in the works. Academy Award-nominated director Steph...
