Dollhouse Will Air All Lucky 13 Episodes

I haven’t been keeping up with “Dollhouse”. There’s really no reason for it, I just, well, have a lot of other things to do on Friday, and watching TV is really not one of them. I have a hard enough time finding room to watch my DVRs of “Stargate: Universe”. Having...

Assault Girls Trailer. It’s Like Dune, Except with Hot Japanese Chicks.

From Mamoru Oshii, the well-known and respected Japanese director of “Avalon” and the “Ghost in the Shell” franchise comes what I can only assume is a get-rich quick scheme to pay off a house note or two, ala “Assault Girls”. It’s like Frank Herbert’s “Dune”,...

Look Out Bad Robots are Coming for You!

No, it’s not a movie about J.J. Abrams and the boys and how they convinced someone to fund a movie about a giant monster attacking New York City from the POV of a shaky camcorder. It’s actually an honest-to-goodness sci-fi movie about robots run amok. Or at least, one robot. Well, it’s...
