NOT WORTH YOUR TIME
One Point 0, like almost every science fiction film of the last 30 years, owes much to Blade Runner. Science continues to advance (nanotechnology), but the infrastructure continues to decay, society is more fragmented than ever, and paranoia reigns supreme.
Someone has […]

Source Code starts out with a premise which is so intrinsically flawed that there was no way it could have fully succeeded.
A terrorist has blown up a commuter train bound for Chicago. The government has reason to believe that this […]

Nine times out of ten, the only reason for a remake to exist is gelt, money, pure profit. The producers take a known property that worked before and retool it for a new generation of consumers.
The Thing is […]

Limitless starts out with a fairly irresistible premise. You know the old saw that we only use 20% of our brains? Well, what if you could take a pill that would allow you to utilize 100%?
Now, this pill doesn’t turn you […]

The key to enjoying From Beyond is to keep in mind that the film is intended as the film analog to the old EC Horror Comics, seasoned with some nudity and mild S&M.
The source material is a H. P. Lovecraft story, but […]

I think that 2012 is supposed to be fun, but it might be a little too intense for that. Don’t get me wrong — the science is ridiculous, the individual characterizations are rather shallow, and the Perils-Of-Pauline escapes are just as over the top […]
