Michael Bay is rebooting the Transformers franchise, with Mark Wahlberg replacing Shia LaBeouf, though I am not entirely sure the casting change will make a whit of difference. That’s a pity because, if another director were to take the helm, it’s quite possible that we would get something new and engaging this time around. And […]
I suspect I know the answer to the question above even before I wrote it, but part of me refuses to believe that a movie based upon Gerry Anderson’s “UFO” is probably not going to happen. Sure, there’s been no news for almost a year now–the site has been live for a bit over two–but […]
Many people, after seeing David Twohy’s “The Chronicles Of Riddick” probably thought that the franchise had gone off the tracks. While its predecessor, 2000’s “Pitch Black” can essentially be summed up as seven or eight people caught in enemy territory (which for them was an entire planet) trying to make their way to a ship, […]
I am not a huge Doctor Who fan, though on occasion I did watch some of the Tom Baker episodes. I hindsight I probably wasn’t more into the good Doctor because, like most British series of the time, the quality of the special effects and sets were usually bad (they did the best with what […]
The original “Battlestar Galactica” was created by Glen Larson in 1979 and began life, essentially, as a knock-off of “Star Wars.” Despite that fact, the original series has always held a fond place in my heart because, while it started from somewhat humble origins, it began very quickly began to diverge from its source, becoming it’s own […]
According to Deadline, Shonda Rimes is producing a scifi television series, a move that’s just a bit outside her comfort zone of relationship dramas, and interesting in and of itself. That being said, what’s even more interesting is that David DiGilio is writing it. DiGilio is the guy that was chosen by Disney to write […]
I’d be amiss if I didn’t include the trailer for “Halo 4,” which I have to admit that I have never played (though the trailer reminds me of Blizzard’s “Starcraft,” which I have). It’s really interesting how video games have moved toward the cinematic. Heck, this trailer looks better than some for genuine movies that […]
For my money, Alfonso Cuarón is one of the most talented film makers working today. His “Henry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban” is one of the strongest entries in the franchise, while “Children Of Men” is one of the few movies that is actually better than the book it is based upon (besides having […]
Disney’s “Wreck-It Ralph” took a while, but it’s finally growing on me. I like it even more since I learned that John C. Reilly, as opposed to Seth Rogen, (who happens to sound quite a bit like Reilly) is voicing the character. Though truth be told, I would prefer John C. McGinley even more (mainly because […]
For quite a while now I was wondering what was going on with “Space: 2099,” the reboot of Gerry Anderson’s “Space: 1999,” because I haven’t heard any news on that front for four or five months. I was worried that it suffered the fate of the UFO reboot, which appears to be caught somewhere in […]
