5 Games That Would Make Great Video Game Movies
I mean a full-length, made to be a movie, movie. Something with the weight of a studio behind it and millions of dollars in CGI.
5 Sequels You Didn’t Know Were Coming Out
With reboots of classic franchises popping up often, would it surprise you to know that a few sequels are coming down the pipeline? Probably not, but it might surprise you to learn just what movies are getting upcoming sequels. Things you might never have expected to get revitalized will arrive within a year or two….
The Rental: Not The Movie You Think It Is
The Rental Takes Its Time To Scare You To call The Rental horror is to mislabel it. While it contains scenes of abject unpleasantness and shockingly dark moments, it’s only in its ending it claims any real signifiers of the genre. No, what The Rental is, is a thriller with a heavy emphasis on character work,…
Trek Tuesday – Prelude To Axanar
Trek Tuesday? Maybe it will be a thing. But today is Monday you say? Well, it’s Tuesday somewhere. 😉 While the number of Star Trek fan films could fill months of watching, few are as well known as Prelude To Axanar – the award winning fan film featuring Star Trek series actors that kicked off…
Artemis Fowl: The Absolute Worst Adaption Ever
Artemis Fowl Is An Abysmally Bad Watch Artemis Fowl is a travesty. It is an insult to those that we’re excited about it, those that had hope for it, and is simply a bad watch. And, yes, I’m a fan of the books, and, also yes, I was disappointed with how poorly they adapted it….
Proximity: Somehow Only One Film?

It defies all expectations, makes many strange choices, and has a very good grasp of visual storytelling and visual composition—and yet is kind of bad.

Sonic The Hedgehog: Better Than Expected
Sonic The Hedgehog Somehow Survived The fact that the Sonic the Hedgehog movie is even any good is a miracle. With the travesty that was the original trailer’s design and the bog-standard plot promised, there was not a chance in heck that this was going to work out—and, yet, here we are. But let’s not get…
Color Out of Space: Excellent Cosmic Horror
Color Out of Space Is Vibrantly Horrific Having not exposed myself to a great deal of horror movies, perhaps that’s why Color Out of Space scared me so thoroughly—but, given how visceral my viewing of it was, and what I’ve seen of the critical reception, I have to assume that this movie is as good…
Exile Review: A Small Film With Large Skill (+Interview With Director!)
Exile is a short film that, by necessity, can’t get across as much story as a full film—but still manages a lot of good storytelling through visual details and implications. Which already puts it ahead of a lot of science fiction that feels it necessary to dump a lot of information on the viewer. And,…
5 Of The Most Inspirational Fantasy Movies
We can’t do a list for inspirational Sci-Fi movies and not do the same for Fantasy. The two genres are too linked, too similar, and, though we can look to a good future with science fiction, fantasy often has a universal feeling of uplifting hope. It’s also a much broader genre with what counts as…
