Screamers (1995) Movie Review
“Robocop’s” Peter Weller headlines “Screamers” as Hendricksson, the burnt out commanding officer of a futuristic military faction called the Alliance. Hendricksson and his men have been fighting a war against the rival N.E.B. soldiers on an isolated mining planet for the last 10 years. During the war, the Alliance had built fast-moving androids with buzz [...]

The only reason that could possibly explain the making of “Heavy Metal 2000″ is the cult following for the 1981 original. Unlike its predecessor, “Heavy Metal 2000: F.A.K.K. 2″ uses traditional cell animation in combination with CGI, as is the trend nowadays. Similar methods of animation can be found in Japanimation films “Blood” and numerous [...]

At the risk of coming across like some Hollywood elitist, let me just say that low-budget filmmakers should be banned from ever making a movie about virtual reality ever again. I say this after having seen “Code Hunter”, a film that is at least 6 years too late to get in on all the “VR [...]

It really is not possible to over exaggerate the importance of a movie like “Terminator 2″ to action filmmaking, and just filmmaking in general. Besides pioneering cinematic morphing technology (the technique that mimics one character “changing” flawlessly into another before our eyes), “T2″ remains the film to see for sheer excitement, tension, and suspense 12 [...]

I’ve never been accused of going out of my way to see the year’s (insert present year here) “most thought-provoking movie”. It’s commonly known that I don’t always need a film to challenge me emotionally or question the way I see things in order to find it satisfying. (”The Two Towers” and “Blade 2″ certainly [...]

“Minority Report” takes place in the near future (50 years or so), and stars Tom Cruise as Anderton, the head of a Washington D.C. police bureau in charged of stopping murders before they take place. The bureau of Precrime is a prototype, and D.C. has been using the system for the last 6 years, essentially [...]

“Men in Black 2″ was a bona fide hit even before it hit theaters. Actually, it was a hit even before the studio announced they would be making a sequel to the original. With that in mind, it’s no surprise that “MIB 2″ is more of the same. Which is to say if you liked [...]

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s “The Sixth Day” is really a Comedy, and anyone who doesn’t want to be bored to death by its oh so routine action sequences should treat the film as such. The film deals with the subject of human cloning, but if you thought this was a serious dissertation on said subject, you’re hopelessly [...]

Peter Weir’s “The Truman Show” was the first movie that former rubberface comedian Jim Carrey served notice to the world that he was more than his talking posterior. Besides satirizing the then-fledging concept of reality TV taken to its most ludicrous degree, “The Truman Show” combines comedy with human drama and a healthy dose of [...]

The tagline for Ridley Scott’s 1979 “Alien” is, “In space no one can hear you scream,” and is it ever appropriate. “Alien” is a claustrophobic film that makes you feel just as isolated, desperate, and lonely as its characters. The look, the feel, and the sensation of being in space seems real, mostly thanks to [...]
