Pandorum (REVIEW)

It's been quite an interesting summer for science fiction films. "District 9" and "Star Trek" were both critical and financial success for distinct reasons, and left sci-fi fans satisfied. That satisfaction has allowed "Pandorum", a film made specifically with that segment of the audience in mind, to slip under the radar, especially in a season packed with genre related films. For some, that is a shame.

Alien Uprising (REVIEW)

A common tool for science fiction thrillers is the idea of total isolation. Force your protagonists into a situation where no one can possibly come to help them or hear them scream. A common setup for this is to use a desolate planet in the far flung reaches of space, a destination so far out that their nearest neighbor is light years away. Mix this with some dangerous character types such as violent prisoners who are so bad that they can't be trusted around any other life forms, and you have yourself the trappings of a nice little space scare. Such is the setting for "Alien Uprising".

Ben Rock talks "Alien Raiders"

For my money, it's best to do as much as possible practically.

- Ben Rock

So what were the origins of "Alien Raiders"?

It was actually an idea of Dan Myrick's. His idea was to set something fantastic and grandiose like an alien invasion film in the most mundane place of all - a supermarket. The title at the time was actually "Supermarket".

Battlestar 4.21 - "Daybreak: Part One"

I can only count on one hand how many times I had anxiety, while watching a television show, reading a book/comic or watching a film, and I am quite the fantasy media whore. When it came to the end of the "Lord of The Rings" or the "Matrix" Trilogies, I would turn to whoever was watching the final installments with me, and say "I really don't want to see the rest of this." I had grown so attached to the characters, that I would become a nervous wreck, anticipating their possible deaths. 'Battlestar' has reached that point, but in this case, the anxiety might be too much to bear.

Cuba's Career Buried in "The Devil's Tomb"

Were I to stumble upon this movie, "The Devil's Tomb" on the scifi channel on a Saturday afternoon, I'm sure it would be a pretty entertaining time. Hell, even I am not above the pleasures of gratuitous gunfights set to rap/metal. The cast of this movie is absolutely unreal though, especially considering the "shot on video" look of the whole thing. Take a gander:

Cuba Gooding Jr. ... Mack
Ray Winstone ... Blakely
Ron Perlman ... Wesley
Taryn Manning ... Doc
Henry Rollins ... Fulton
Valerie Cruz ... Elissa
Bill Moseley ... Prof. Duncan
