Three Clips from Milla Jovovich’s The Fourth Kind

Milla Jovovich’s upcoming thriller “The Fourth Kind” continues to convince me this thing is more horror than sci-fi. Or actually, it’s a horror movie with a sci-fi setting, ala the original “Alien”. Minus, you know, acid-spewing aliens. At least, I think those guys...

See Wimpy Masked Klingons In The Star Trek Deleted Scene

Here’s the scene in “Star Trek” where tragic villain Nero is tortured with a brain bug by a masked Klingon dude with a sensitive side. If this is the future of my favorite aliens I don’t like it. There ’s a lack of menace and warrior spirit in the masked guy about to insert...

Paranormal Activity’s Oren Peli Selling Sci-Fi Thriller Area 51

After striking the Hollywood equivalent of gold, you’d think that director Oren Peli’s next movie, a sci-fi thriller called “Area 51″, would be the subject of an intense bidding war by the major studios, including Paramount, the company that is making a mint off Peli’s little...

It was inevitable. “Short Circuit”, the story about a robot made by the military to kill, kill, kill, but who, after getting struck by lightning, just wanted to love, love, love, is getting a re-do. The original “Short Circuit” starred Ally Sheedy, Steve Guttenberg and Fisher...

Three New TV Spots For 2012

Here we go with the inevitable onslaught of preview videos for the Nov 13th release of “2012″. No Woody Harrelson in evidence so we have a low humour to depressing disaster ratio. As 2012 the date and not “2012″ the movie approaches, I’m noticing people are getting a little...

Is This Klingon Propaganda Film A Viral For Trek 2?

I’m thinking it’s a bit early in the development process for J.J. Abrams and his conspirators to be this sure of a storyline but you never know. Rebooted Klingons will still kick your sorry ass. Though uncertain of it’s origins, this fiendishly wicked Klingon propaganda film recalls...

The Fourth Kind Gives Us A Better Look With A Paranoid Featurette

This “Featurette” is more of a background documentary than in movie footage, but kind of gives you some background into the kind of rampant paranoia necessary to get you in the mood to go see “The Fourth Kind” starring Milla Jovovich. It’s looking like a kind of horror Sci-Fi...

Timecrimes (2007) Movie Review

“Timecrimes” (original title: “Los cronocrímenes”) is a small, low budget sci-fi film from Spain about a crazy hour in the life of an accidental time traveler. The movie doesn’t break any new ground when it comes to the subject of time travel, but there’s just enough humor and complexity...

Dreamworks’ Live-Action Ghost in the Shell Gets New Writer

I was enthusiastic when they announced a “Ghost in the Shell” live-action movie, but now, I’m not so sure. Is there even any real reason to remake Mamoru Oshii’s 1995 cyberpunk masterpiece “Ghost in the Shell”? It was perfect. Then you add in the constraints of live-action,...

The New Avatar Trailer Arrives: Do You Still Care?

All that buzz, all that Comic Con gushing, it all went away when the first trailer for James Cameron’s “Avatar” landed online three months ago with quite possibly the biggest THUD in modern cinema. Let’s face it, it was kind of underwhelming. It was overly cartoony and obviously...

Not Everything Obliterated In 2012 Is Digital

Watching the trailers for Roland Emmerich’s Disaster Porn epic, “2012″, it appears that separate from the films potential quality, the special effects look freaktastic and wonderfully over the top. Not all the wreckage and ruin dished out in “2012″ is via CGI. Some of the...
