Twelve Books You Should Read at the Beach This Summer

It’s boiling hot up here in the Earth’s northern hemisphere, so hopefully at some point you’ll find yourself vacationing at a beach — or at least lounging near a large body of water.

A Broken French Telepath in New York

There are dozens of movies about telepaths who are drunk on their power, like Jean Gray in X-Men or Carrie in Carrie. And there are psychics who struggle with the hideous responsibility their visions impart, like John Smith in Dead Zone. That’s why I was excited to hear that at last we’re going to get…

The Yip Yips From Mars Will Haunt Your Nightmares

There was nothing more frightening to me, as a child, than the soul sucking gaping faces of the Yip Yips. Of all the weird media moments in my youth, these Sesame Street aliens take the creepy-holy-mother-of-god-get-out-of-my-head cake. Their evil vacuous mouths graced TV screens everywhere in 1971 in this telephone sketch. I dare you to…

The Fly Teleports Into A New Tuneful Medium

If you’ve always enjoyed the David Cronenberg version of transportation horror porn The Fly but felt that it lacked the certain je ne sais quoi that a couple of song-and-dance routines would’ve lent the occasion, then I’ve got two pieces of news for you. Firstly, you’re not alone. Secondly, you’re about to find your dreams…

First Teaser Poster From The Day The Earth Stood Still

Here’s the first teaser poster from December’s remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still, starring Keanu Reeves.

Which Summer Movie Chick Could Carry Her Own Spinoff?

You might have noticed a distinct lack of female heroes at the movies this summer, Sex And The City aside. It’s almost as if the studios decided women couldn’t carry a big movie — but nah, I’m sure it’s just a coincidence. Luckily, the summer’s big movies have a wealth of female supporting leads, and…

A Rip In Space-Time Gets You Laid, In New Futurama Movie

Sexual innuendo flies in the new Futurama, which takes the old saying, “beast with two backs,” to a whole new inter-planetary level. But it’s not just alien mating that’s giving the new Futurama straight-to-DVD release its extra-dirty story line — we also get Calculon’s robot member, loads of cleavage from the ladies, more snoo-snoo, and…

With all the space rocks zipping by Earth these days, we’re pretty much cruising for an interplanetary bruising. But NASA’s line on the situation is, to paraphrase administrator Mike Griffin: “Forget about that whole thing; we’re going back to the Moon! Yay!” Fortunately, the B612 Foundation is slightly more serious about making sure our civilization…
