Trailer Review: Wonder Woman 1984
Wonder Woman 1984: More Excellence I don’t know what it is about Wonder Woman, but it was the first good DC movie, and it looks like this will be the same. This trailer is wonderful. The shots of her riding the lightning by lasso is such a novel, cool visual, and something that no other…

Guest Post: The Good Alien; How Sci-Fi Makes Us Better People
(Thanks to Alicia Lopez for her amazing article!) Our society likes to imagine the end of the world. Each year, dozens of dystopian, apocalyptic, and post-apocalyptic movies grace the big screen.
