R.I.P. Charlton Heston

If you hadn’t heard the news by now, Charlton Heston passed away Saturday night at the grand old age of 84. His broad-shouldered, square-jawed, teeth-gritting acting style launched historical characters from Moses to Judah Ben-Hur, but we were more fixated on his body of science fiction work, which was considerable as you can see from…

The Only Minute Of Burton’s Apes You Need To See

The best parts of Tim Burton’s Planet of the Apes remake are like a simian version of 300 . The giant ape army looks totally badass, and the “running apes” special effect still looks cutting-edge. Few films since then have used CGI to create such a convincing non-human society. And the explosion, with the apes…
