Strider's Sci-Fi

This is the Senior Thesis film produced at Ringling College of Art and Design by Dylan Vanwormer and Logan Scelina. Yes, it is a bit silly, but where animation is concerned that is often the point. These kind of things inspire me to plug away at my own animation projects, even though mine never seem [...]

There are some moments you want to last forever, and some you don’t even want to live through once. The author of About Time was also a writer on Blackadder, and did a few other RomCom flicks like Notting Hill, Bridget Jones’s Diary, and Love Actually. This appears to be his first venture into SF/F, [...]

Movies this week have a genre option, although Lego Batman: The Movie DC Super Heroes Unite can be considered as a commercial for the game of the same name. 2011′s An Assassin is being released in North America this week for those who enjoy Asian action, and if you prefer your action movies in English [...]

I don’t really care what they are advertising, although I suspect it is a vehicle of some kind. But this is, hands down, the most amusing commercial I have seen so far this decade. Nemoy and Quinto have a lot of fun with this, and probably got paid fairly well for it in the bargain. [...]

There are a few tasty movies this time, starting with Cloud Atlas, a very complex book turned into a very ambitious movie. I missed this one in the theaters because of real life getting in the way, I am looking forward to finally seeing it. There is also Frankie Go Boom, not a genre flick [...]

The final entry in the trilogy that started with Shawn Of The Dead and continued through Hot Fuzz is on its way, and here is the wonderfully funny trailer for The Worlds End. Video: The World’s End – exclusive trailer

A new show this season, Random Hero seems to be somewhere between The Greatest American Hero and Sarah Jane Smith. The first episode sets the tone nicely and seems to promise some fun stories coming up…

No genre this time except for the no-budget REDD, and it might look like the mainstream The Great Gatsby is all that’s out there. But don’t overlook Desperate Acts of Magic, a tasty little indie comedy film that is out this week in limited release; if you can find it, it looks quite fun. And [...]

Movies this week include a ton of things released previously on DVD and now coming out on Blue Ray, like Hitchcock, but they have been available in some format for a while, so not new as such. The best of the new releases looks to be The Assassin’s Blade, the Jingle Ma 2008 film out [...]

This one is truly strange; Scooby Doo and Twin peaks collide. In fact it happened twice, in two separate episodes, both silly fun to watch. The info comes fromThe Mary Sue, and the heads-up was courtesy of Topless Robot.
