Summer is over. Fall is here. Winter is fast approaching. And still, we have yet to see a trailer for Sony’s Christmas scifi movie Passengers. This isn’t some small movie either.

Earth Isn’t What We Think In an Upcoming Scifi Prison Movie

I love movies that frame our planet in an unexpected way. That seems to be the idea behind Prison Earth, a film being developed by Creed producer David Winkler and Roger Mincheff, which conceives Earth as a prison that aliens use to house dangerous criminals. The Wrap broke the news of the film, which is…

James Gunn Hints at Baby Groot’s Voice in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

One of the coolest things about the first Guardians of the Galaxy was how director James Gunn had Vin Diesel voicing Groot. The character has two lines so to bring in an actor with a voice and presence like Diesel gave everything gravitas. But, things may be changing for Vol. 2. If you saw the…

Hordes of lionfish have been roaming the Atlantic for several decades now, and their voracious appetite—and lack of natural predators—has seriously upset the ecological balance of those waters.

Fear the Walking Dead Just Had Its Own Red Wedding

If a character on a popular genre show is looking to get hitched, you may want to brace yourself. On Sunday’s Fear the Walking Dead, a seemingly happy wedding went horribly wrong and it was impossible not to think of the iconic scene from Game of Thrones: The Red Wedding.

Michael Keaton’s Batman v Christopher Reeve’s Superman: Mash-Up of Justice

This fan-made trailer from Stryder HD makes a compelling argument that it would have been pretty cool to see the two ‘80s cinematic superheroes face-off on-screen. Bonus points for realizing Lex’s plan to use Zod’s body to create his own Kryptonian in BvS lines up eerily well with Lex’s plan to make his own whatever-the-hell-Nuclear-Man-was…

Before I happened upon this video, I would’ve assumed that a crab would devour its meal haphazardly, primitively. Apologies for misjudging. Turns out crustaceans, much like stars, are just like us!
