The Wachowski’s SciFi Return Has a Cast
It’s hard to believe that next year the two disappointing Matrix movies will be ten years old. I can remember the world-wide simultaneous premiere of The Matrix Revolutions well as Warner Brothers wouldn’t allow midnight showings and instead had the first showing take place at the exact minute around the world. This was done to [...]

October Baby
Abortion. The term alone stirs passion on either side of the ongoing debate. It’s a concept without any clear middle ground. So when a film like October Baby promises a faith-based approach to its decidedly pro-life plotline, mainstream appreciation seems like a long shot. After all, in between the preaching and polemics, one has to [...]

The Hunger Games
With all the prerelease hype, established phenom comparisons (Twilight, anything Harry Potter), and a storyline that seems more borrowed (Battle Royale) than original, The Hunger Games definitely has its work cut out for it. In order to convince film fans that it’s not just the latest lame attempt by Hollywood to latch onto a legitimate [...]
How YA like “The Hunger Games” Came to Rule Fantasy and Scifi Films
Hunger Games mania is upon us: The first of a planned four-film series based on Suzanne Collins’s science fiction trilogy (because now it’s apparently required that the final book of any series must be broken into two movie) hits theaters on Friday. To say the box-office expectations are huge is underselling the statement: Film industry [...]

What Your Daughter (and You) Can Learn from “The Hunger Games”
When my 12-year-old daughter introduced me to The Hunger Games last year, I was immediately hooked. Suzanne Collins’s dystopian trilogy has been a huge bestseller for tweens, teens, and their parents; critics and fans alike are already predicting that the movies will be the next Twilight or Harry Potter. And unlike those two series, at [...]
Evil of Frankenstein
After a five year hiatus, Hammer Films released its third Frankenstein film: The Evil of Frankenstein (EoF). Somewhat in keeping with the previous film, (Revenge of…) which contained little recognizable revenge, EoF contains scant evil by the doctor. Peter Cushing stars again as the baron. The story line is not a continuation of that in [...]
Frankenstein Creates Woman
In 1966, Hammer released their fourth Frankenstein film, starring Peter Cushing as the mad genius baron. Frankenstein Creates Woman (FCW) is (roughly) Hammer’s rendition of Bride of Frankenstein. The story has less “science” and more crime-thriller elements as well as some classic gothic horror twists in an Edger Allen Poe sort of way. Despite publicity [...]
Star Wars? Is my generation wrong?
I’m in my mid 30′s. I was a youngster when, what is to me the authentic Star Wars movies were made. I remember seeing the last one, Return of the Jedi, in the movie theater. When those three movies came on TV and eventually on VHS and BETA (!), I watched them until I could repeat [...]
