If, like me, you’re an avid watcher of tv and movies, and a reader of books, you may have noticed a trend towards the disastrous future. Apocalypse is in and in big. I mean, it’s everywhere we look.
I think it’s sort of a staple of the genre now. If you’re going to have a futuristic/scifi [...]
Everyone is influenced by the people in their lives, by the things they enjoy; movies, books, tv shows – you name it. I’m no different.
If you’ve read this blog for a bit, you probably have a sense of what my humor is like and what my writing voice tends to be. I’ve been influenced by [...]
A review: Battlestar Galactica: The Plan
If you’re a fan, you remember that the opening of Battlestar Galactica’s first and second seasons always ended with: “AND THEY HAVE A PLAN”. ‘They’ were the Cylons and ‘The Plan’ wasn’t necessarily apparent beyond ‘Frakking kill all the humans’. Which, if you’re a cybernetic lifeform bent on [...]
Was checking out movie trailers and wanted to share.
Stan Helsing.
This could be the stupidest movie ever made. Or it could be hilarious. I DON’T KNOW!

ABC recently told the makers of the new ‘V’ remake/reboot not to play up the ‘SciFi’ aspects of the show. In fact, they asked them not to even mention the word ‘alien’ in any of the advertising and all [...]
First up is Whiteout.

Next is Legion.
Look, I love a good freaky movie based on badass Angels. What can I say? This one doesn’t hit theaters until January 2010 but that’s okay.
Avatar. I know, there’s been [...]

Dear Hollywood, why not reboot Lost now?
So. There’s lot’s of talk out on the web about how there are plans in motion to reboot Battlestar Galactica as a movie franchise completely separate from the recent series that ran 4 seasons and 22 years on the channel formerly known as SciFi.
With this in mind, and since the powers that be obviously don’t [...]
