Meanwhile, in Spain, people are probably sacrificing their souls to the devil instead of watching this film. People are setting themselves on fire and running through traffic instead of watching this film. I wish someone had told me that I would rather jump off of a cliff than sit through this film. Anyway, Deranged (2012) follows…
The following piece was written by Brandon Engel and sent in to us for consideration. Here at Sci-Fi Bloggers, we like showcasing a variety of different opinions. Normally, they are those of our intelligent team of contributors, which continues to grow, even to this day. However, there are times when we are sent something written by a fan of…
I think by the time actual aliens invade our planet, the human race won’t be interested. Kind of like, “What are you gonna do…attack us? Eh, seen it.” Gareth Edwards’ Monsters (2010) is a yet another film that explores life after our first encounter with otherworldly foreigners. Due to some American tomfoolery, a NASA “thing” crash…
Yo, they got SPOILERS below! None of the Riddick movies were ever big blockbusters. They never held the financial weight of an Iron Man or Twilight film, but the series has done something that even the most amazing science fiction universes (Firefly…to name one) have not been able to pull off: it has survived in this…
BEWARE: I tried to keep it spoiler-free, but…things might’ve happened. How much is life worth? Can you measure its value in war-torn buildings, shambles of disintegrating civility, or is it easier to simply count the bodies, piled upon one another in ditches and crevices of human hope? Alfonso Cuaron’s Children of Men depicts a world…
Night of the Living Dead (1968) from Image Ten Productions Who: Written by John Russo (Midnight) and George Romero, who also directed, with lumbering zombie makeup by Tony Pantanella (The Crazies) and Regis Survinski (The Crazies, Hungry Wives), and the most underappreciated protagonist of all time played by Duane Jones. What: Barbra and her brother…
Dredd (2012) from DNA Film Productions Author’s Note: Lest my readers be confused, this is a special edition of the “Retro Review” series in that this film is not retro at all. The reason for this is two-fold. First, the British sci-fi comics series about Judge Dredd, set in post-apocalyptic America, are fairly important in…
Escape from New York (1981) from AVCO Embassy Pictures Who: John Carpenter (Halloween, Big Trouble in Little China) directs, Kurt Russell and his eyepatch star as the ex-soldier coerced into being a hero, Snake Plissken, Ernest Borgnine appears as a helpful tax driver, and round-headed Donald Pleasence plays the President. What: In 1988, the crime…
WARNING: This review is spoiler-free. Okay, in spite of the title above, give me a moment to make it known that Edge of Tomorrow isn’t flawless. A few of the actors give somewhat hammy performances, and there’s one plot point that feels just a little contrived. With that said, these flaws are very easy to overlook when compared to overall…
I’ve tried to explain Only Lovers Left Alive to a few people at this point. It’s been a mixed success. First, don’t go into it expecting a vampire film. You might be disappointed at the lack of blood spatter. Second, keep in mind that all the main characters are vampires and they are determinedly and…
Hello, and welcome to the Sci-Fi Bloggers Weekly Roundup, where we go around the Net to bring you what caught our eyes this past week! The Birds and the Bees Most parents who’ve had to teach their children about “the birds and the bees” probably found it uncomfortable. While we don’t have any specific handling laid…
Logan’s Run (1976) from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Who: Directed by Michael Anderson (Around the World in Eighty Days (1956)), starring a very blond Michael York as the titular Logan, and the great Peter Ustinov as “Old Man” (he’s actually an important character, don’t worry). What: In the future, those still alive live in one comfortable dome city and…
