Looking back at Gerry Anderson’s Space Precinct

Its a neat idea, right? The concept is rich with potential, but its surprising just how underused its been. However, in the US, it was dumped in late-night slots, where it withered and faded away. One stand-out episode remainsTime To Kill, which follows Brogans quest to track down and apprehend a time-travelling killer. Much of the series success is rooted in the characters likeability. The alien characters were also given familiar human traits....

Dracula Untold Review

If there is a drop left of Dracula Untold, I think that Ive already tasted it. Unfortunately, the end result is just really long in the tooth. And I imagine that whenDracula Untoldfirst got pitched, it was along the lines of300with vampires. But the end result feels somehow decidedly less. Youll be damned if you cant guess how this is going to end. This sunlight is all the harsher with director Gary Shores workmanlike aesthetic....

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: a visit to ILM

Matt went to visit ILM to find out more about the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. They might never recover. It all sounds so simple, doesnt it? Oh, we had to capture data, so we just used science. Then we ran a quick paintbrush over the science and Ninja Turtles fell out. The lengths the team at ILM have gone to are pretty incredible, though. Theres a newTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtlesfilm coming out and Ive been pretty excited about it....

The Flash Premiere Review: City of Heroes

The first episode of The Flash is a tremendously faithful adaptation of the DC Comics legend. Here’s our review… This review ofThe FlashCity of Heroes contains spoilers. you’re free to read our spoiler-free versionby clicking here. The basic beats of this episode should feel familiar to any fan of Flashs history. Its a much sunnier show…literally. Mostly, its daylight in Central City. The tragedy in Barrys past drives him, to be sure, but it doesnt torment or define him....

Tod Browning’s Freaks: The Original Freak Show

I have to thank the Ramones for introducing me toFreaks. Their chant Gabba gabba. I loved the side show at Coney Island. Freak shows are cons. Con artists put on the best shows. He brought nuance and empathy to his monsters. Sometimes his monsters werent as monstrous as the people around them. Sometimes they were more glamorous. They certainly could be more magnetic. People forget today that Bela Lugosi made women swoon in BrowningsDracula....

Dead Snow 2: Red Vs. Dead Review

Its rare to find a new angle on the prolific zombie subgenre. Hell, George Romero still has the cottage industry cornered with his endless assembly line of zombie social satires. But there are still joys to be had. you’ve got the option to only see a Nazi zombie for the first time once. But you know what you havent seen? Martin, played by the returning Vegar Hoel, got there because he retroactively survived the original film....

Harmontown Review

What bang out of person is going to appreciate this or, for that matter, even understand it? Probably they even had to read his book in school. Dan Harmon, on the other hand, is primarily known for creating two TV shows and a podcast. Eh, I can take it or leave it. This ostensibly makesHarmontowna tour documentary. This makes some sense; audio versions of all the performances are available for free on the Harmontown website....

Music in Film: Gone Girl, Reznor and Fincher’s musical marriage

I am officially in control of our story… Isnt that what every marriage is, anyway? In other words, its a natural fit for David Fincher and his soundtrack is equally at home. Its an approach that Fincher has adopted ever since he first got control over his production withSeven. Suddenly, the metronome that Freemans character uses to drown out the world makes sense. Then, Fincher unleashes one of his most memorable uses of music: a remix ofCloserby Nine Inch Nails....
