The End of Caring About Star Wars

Saturday, August 23, 2008

The Golden Age of Star Wars is over - indeed, it has been for some time – but for many of us, Star Wars: Clone Wars might be the nail in the coffin. The popularity of the original films was enough to carry through the 80s and into the 90s, enough to warrant remastered rereleases, and [...]

Stargate: Continuum is Smart Sci-fi? What gives??

Hey all… It’s no secret that I’m a science fiction and fantasy guy. Have been since I was first introduced to Robert Heinlein and JRR Tolkien many many moons ago… So it shouldn’t be too shocking that I’m a fan of the Stargate series. From the original movie with James Spader and Kurt Russell in 1994 [...]

By richd A few days ago, I watched Deja Vu on Starz. I happened upon it while channel surfing. I recognized the title and vaguely recalled the plot from the previews. I am a huge fan of Denzel Washington, Val Kilmer and Jim Caviezel so I gave it a shot. Plus I pay for the Starz [...]

But now the dust has settled and the film has come and gone it just clicked in my head… Oh my god! Crystal Skull was awful!! I remember back in 1981 [...]

Love it or hate it, science fiction is part of our lives. While we, the mainstream public, tend to categorize something as sci-fi the moment we see a spaceship, or a laser, or some clean cut soldier in a tight one piece suit; for the world of nerd pedagogy, there are many different genres [...]

When I heard that there was going to be a new Hulk film made I immediately thought that Edward Norton should be cast as Dr. Banner, honestly. I also though that another Hulk film would have to be great to erase the memory of the 2003 version, that nearly caused the comic [...]

What may not surprise any of us is how quickly this movie made the “jump” from cinemas to DVD, but what can one expect when the human cardboard cut-out is the leading man. Sorry Hayden, but you really should be looking for roles that are not so “I am misunderstood, I [...]

Few films in recent memory have had such a smart and intentionally vague marketing campaign, and fewer still live up to the hype surrounding them. In this world where media advertising is king, the brains behind Cloverfield have mastered the art of generating interest and creating a buzz around their film unlike any other since [...]

Ever since the incarnation of film, there have been monsters: Frankenstein’s monster, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Wolf-man, the Creature of Black Lagoon, and the list goes ever on. In 1979 Ridley Scott brought to life a creature known only as Alien. All we knew was it had acid for blood and a penchant for [...]
