New New Moon Trailer Shown at MTV Awards

Now most people know that I’m not the biggest Twilight fan in the world. Yesterday at the MTV Music Awards international audiences got their first look at the first (in my opinion real) full-length trailer for the film and I have to say I was impressed. Now having only read the first book in the [...]

9 Opens Second at Box Office Amidst Mixed Reviews

While many had high hopes for 9, the computer-animated sci-fi/action film directed by Shane Acker and produced by Tim Burton, however, the actual box office numbers tell a different story. In its opening weekend (as the film debuted last Wednesday on September 9) the release was marked by rather lackluster numbers in terms of box [...]

Rambo V Going Sci-Fi?

For the last couple of weeks rumors have been circulating on the net that not only is there a fifth Rambo movie on the horizon but that it will likely involve many science fiction elements as well. The fifth installment in the franchise (which has been called “Rambo V: The Savage Hunt”) will be a [...]

Astro-Boy Trailer is Now Live

So it seems they’ve made an Astro-Boy movie. It will be released on October 28, 2009 by Imagi Animation Studios and will be distributed Freddie Highmore, Nicholas Cage, Donald Sutherland, Kristen Bell, Eugene Levy, and Nathan Lane.

According to Wikipedia (both because I’m lazy and because Astro-boy has been around for sixty years), Astroboy is an [...]

Rant: Is Expanding the Best Picture Category a Good Thing?

A few months ago when I first heard that next year’s Academy Awards was expanding the ‘Best Picture’ category from five nominees to 10 nominees there’s been one question lingering in my head ever since. Why? The obvious explanation is that a majority of the Academy for Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences (or whichever association [...]

The Fourth Kind Trailer is Now Live

Little has been known about The Fourth Kind up until now but with the release of the first full trailer we do have some details surrounding the film. The Fourth Kind comes from J. Allen Hynek’s classification of close encounters with alien, where the fourth kind denotes an alien abduction. The film is set to [...]

Final Destination 4 Tops Weekend Box Office

Was it really a surprise that Final Destination 4 would top box offices this week with all of the marketing and advertising that went in promotion of the film? The real question is whether this hot streak will last, or will it dowse to a flicker by next week’s end. I mean seriously, how hard [...]

Blockbuster or Lackluster? September DVD/Blu-ray Releases

While August was a somewhat lackluster month for science fiction and fantasy DVD/Blu-ray releases it seems that with kids going back to school as we roll into the new fall television season, September seems to more than make up for the difference. Check out below for what we can expect from DVD/Blu-ray releases in September

The Wolfman Trailer is Now Live

There was a time not too long ago when recreating those classic monster movies of the past was not only original, but actually cool. The Mummy was made more than ten years ago and spawned two sequels staring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz. Van Helsing starring Hugh Jackman did bring something new to the table [...]

What can we expect from Eli Roth in the future?

Coming off his most recent acting role in Tarantino’s Inglorious Bastards as Donny Donowitz (otherwise known as the bat-wielding militant known as the ‘Bear Jew’) many have questioned what can we expect from Eli Roth in the near future. Few will remember not too long ago that Roth was slated to direct the adaptation of [...]
