As you all know, David Goyer (Show Runner) has left Flash Forward to work on other projects. What other projects might be more important than running a pretty big budget weekly Sci-Fi LOST replacement? I had sort of assumed that David was out of Flash Forward because it was, quite unfortunately, sucking....

Neil Gaiman is all kinds of awesome. Where many writers are awesome in parts or in bits or perhaps even in shades, Neil has all the awesome bases fully covered.

Leo DiCaprio Talks About Christopher Nolan’s Inception

“Inception” is number one on my list of must see flicks this year. I plan to torture my significant other even more than usual for this one, both before and after. We’ll get there extra early, for the perfect eye level, mid screen emplacement and after the film, if it’s anything...

Legion (2010) Movie Review

Anyone who sat through “Legion” would do well to petition Christian leaders to add a 13th Commandment, one that would prevent filmmakers from dragging God into their ridiculous and boring movies. Which is, to put it kindly, exactly what this sluggishly inept project is. “Legion”...

Teaser Trailer For The People Vs George Lucas

When I think of George, many things pop into my head. I am deeply conflicted in ways only a Nerd can be. Without George there would be no Star Wars at all. Does the creator of something also have the right to destroy it? Does art always belong to the artist or does it enter the public domain? George...

Fan Made Trailer Is A Sci-Fi Grab Bag Of Dreams

Warning, the footage you are about to watch and techo-lust over does not exist as a real movie. You’ll wish it was real and you’ll dream of owning and using almost everything in the thing, but alas, it’s all in the mind and considerable editing talents of Jaron Pitts, who put this baby...

MarketSaw is a great blog to visit if you’re into cutting edge 3D stuff. I’m not a big fan of 3D, but the site is also pretty good for scoops about upcoming interesting films. For instance, they were all over James Cameron’s “Avatar” from the very beginning, and it looks...

Three New Clips from Smallville: Absolute Justice

I gotta admit, I’m really, really looking forward to this 2-hour “Smallville” movie “Absolute Justice”, and I’m the guy who gave up on the current season of “Smallville” after the uber useless Green Arrow failed to take out two very ordinary thugs in an...

Trailer For Post Apocalyptic Animated A.D.

I think it’s high time we moved Zombies over to the animated world. I’ve seen more than my share of what live action Zombies can do to fleshy, breathing humans. It’s time C.G.I. people learned to share in the pain of getting a good chomping or the pleasure of taking your Mom’s...
