Will there ever be any more Timecop?

Timecop is one of those movies that doesn’t get the respect it deserves. Everybody talks about a Robocop remake, but not a Timecop remake. But maybe Timecop is an idea whose time has come. We were interviewing Mark Verheiden, the showrunner of Falling Skies, about the new show. (We’ll be posting that interview closer to…

Phantoms: High Weirdness in Resort Country

More than special effects or even the Big Idea science fiction, fantasy and horror movies depend on one thing: casting. A good cast can help make mediocre material convincing while a mediocre cast can turn even the best production into Mansquito 2. Phantoms, based on the Dean Koontz novel, is an uneven but often mesmerizing…

What’s the secret of a good genre mashup?

Lately it seems like a lot of the freshest genre works are mash-ups of well-worn ideas. Whether it’s “police procedural with elves” or “superhero movie with Cold War intrigue.” But why do some genre mashups rule, while others fail horribly? Is there some magic secret to mixing and matching genres in a way that actually…

Is Tintin Lost in the Uncanny Valley?

You guys, you guys! The first trailer for the Steven Spielberg/Peter Jackson Tintin animated cinema spectacular is here! But while it’s supposedly a gigantic step forward in motion capture technology, I can’t help but notice something’s missing. Something important.

The aquatic apocalypse of Waterworld was my sexual awakening

Human sexuality is a weird thing, so it makes sense that I learned the laws of attraction from a disgusting, herring-scented merman. And no, I’m not talking about Skeletor’s sidekick. First things first, the title of this piece is a bit of a prevarication. My first official sexual awakening occurred while watching another maritime themed…

New Bill Would Make Illegal Streaming a Whopping Felony

You know those semi-shady websites that seem to stream every movie and TV show imaginable? Or, you know, YouTube? If a new bill by Senators Amy Klobuchar and John Cornyn passes, spreading copyrighted works on them will be a felony. And a felony means prison time.
