Geostorm movie review: weather bomb
Almost hilariously terrible: absurd plot machinations, dubious politics, not a single character to care about. And it doesn’t even give good disaster porn.
Syfy
Wish Upon movie review: be careful what movies you see about wishes you should be careful about
Simple, yet stupid. A magic box grants a teen wishes… that don’t come free. Apparently they’re not making eighth graders read “The Monkey’s Paw” anymore.
can you spot the bullshit in this description of Timur Bekmambetov’s Warriors of Oz?
The female protagonist has been scrubbed from this “classic story.” Why, Bekmambetov? You got a problem with women?
geek or scream, the choice is yours: Syfy rebooting Blake’s 7
I’d love to see Benedict Cumberbatch as evil sexy bastard Kerr Avon and, yup, Martin Freeman as Vila Restal.
should we start calling the History Channel Hyfy?
The History Channel presenting dramatic reenactments of Bible stories is worse than Syfy showing professional “wrestling”…
question of the day: Why have cable networks divorced their programming from all semblance of connection to their branding?
It’s all shark attacks on Discovery, ice road truckers on the History Channel, and Honey Boo Boo on what used to be known as The Learning Channel. WTF?
Cowboys & Aliens (review)
Holy shit, Indiana Jones and James Bond are fighting frickin’ aliens. This is a geekgasm. Or it should be. But it isn’t.
Source Code (review)
If you haven’t already seen 2009’s Moon, I beg you to do so before you see Source Code, which will put you off director Duncan Jones, which wouldn’t be fair to you, to Jones, or to Moon.
the oh-no! DVD of the week: ‘Battle of Los Angeles’
And Nia Peeples and Kel Mitchell are all that stand between humanity and global doom and stuff.
the oh-no! DVD of the week: ‘Matty Hanson & The Invisibility Ray’
Boys are geniuses. Girls need rescuing. Lots of fun lessons to learn!
