Jesse Johnson’s “Alien Agent” is less a sci-fi movie about invading aliens as it’s a martial arts movie with invading aliens. The film stars Mark Dacascos as the alien agent of the title, sent to Earth to stop an alien renegade military unit from creating a “gateway”...

In recent years, Marvel has been giving DC a run for their money on the big screen. Besides a couple of exceptions, most notably the “Batman” franchise, Marvel’s comic book-to-movies have overwhelmed their DC rivals by a healthy margin. But that isn’t the case on the small screen,...

The 2008 TV movie “Knight Rider”, an update of the classic ’80s TV show starring David Hasselhoff and his super talking car, is considered a “back door pilot” — that is, NBC wants to see how its return to the airwaves is received before they commit to a potentially...

New York Homicide Detective John Amsterdam can’t die. You see, he’s immortal, given the ability to live forever by a tribe of Native American women in 1642 for an act of kindness. Now, Amsterdam works the murder cases of present-day New York City while waiting for his true love to enter his...

Okay, so it’s taken me three years to finally sit down and watch Joss Whedon’s big-screen sci-fi actioner “Serenity”. In my defense, let me just say that while I enjoyed the uncut pilot for Firefly, the TV series precursor to “Serenity”, that I saw a few years back,...

“Stargate: The Ark of Truth” is the much-anticipated first of two Made-for-DVD movies that continues the adventures of the “Stargate: SG-1″ team, with “Stargate: Continuum” being the second movie. But first, a caveat: The workprint version that I am reviewing runs...
