Movie Review: RoboCop (2014)
So. They remade RoboCop (1987). And while I’ve been looking forward to it for months, it wasn’t until some of my friends said “it was surprisingly good” that I decided, “alright, I’ll see it in theaters.” Unfortunately, my friends are liars (love you guys). If you’ve seen the original RoboCop, then you already know the basic […]
Movie Review: Monsters (2010) (A SFF Film Odyssey Selection)
I didn’t realize until pulling up the IMDB page for Monsters (2010) that its writer and director, Gareth Edwards, is also the director of the upcoming Godzilla (2014). And that makes a ton of sense.

Movie Review: Riddick (2013) (or, I’m Going to Mega Rant Now)
Spoiler alert: Technically, I’m going to spoil this movie for you. Not all of it, mind, but enough of it that you’ll know the major plot elements and what not. I say “technically” because nothing in this movie is all that surprising, except that it’s horribly disappointing for any Riddick fan. You already know the […]
Movie Review: The Wolverine (2013)
I don’t know if it is common knowledge yet, but I pretty much hated the first stand-alone Wolverine movie. Its plot didn’t make any sense, the CG was lazy (at best), and the far-reaching story-line left much to be desired. Almost none of those problems exist here. The Wolverine is a high-octane action thriller with […]
