MOVIE REVIEW: The Host

March 29th, 2013 Dane Sager

Film: The Host
Director: Andrew Niccols
Starring: Saoirse Ronan, Diane Kruger, William Hurt

I want you to do a thought experiment. I want you to imagine The Host without any connection to Stephenie Meyer. Pretend she had nothing to do with it, because without that connection the movie actually sounds pretty great.

The Host is a science fiction movie about a parasitic alien invasion written and directed by Andrew Niccols, the man behind Gattaca, Lord Of War, and The Truman Show. Its cast includes Saoirse Ronan (who you may know from The Lovely Bones or Hanna), William …

MOVIE REVIEW: Dark Skies

February 22nd, 2013 Justin Proper

Movie: Dark Skies
Director: Scott Stewart
Studio: Entertainment One, Blumhouse Productions

It seems like every other week there is a new haunted house or demon possession movie. This style of horror has overtaken Hollywood due to its cost effectiveness. Those movies are cheap and no matter how bad they are they always seem to make money. What if this time it is not a ghost or demon or whatever other supernatural thing messing with a family in the suburbs, but aliens? If that idea sounds entertaining to you then you are in for a treat because Dark Skies is that …

FIRST LOOK: Retro Aliens From “Men In Black 3″

March 26th, 2012 James Shotwell

Men In Black 3 is still months release, but we got our hands on some visuals that will help keep your anticipation high.

Unless you are just now tuning in for MIB3 hype, you probably know that this chapter in the ongoing sci-fi series revolves around time travel. As such, the series is able to introduce a plethora of “retro” aliens to go along with the thriving 1960s landscape. Everything was hush hush before, but we have an image that changes everything. Check it out, after the jump.

MOVIE TRAILER: Battleship

December 9th, 2011 James Shotwell

Months after we first got a look at next year’s contender for worst idea put on the silver screen, a brand new trailer Battleship has surfaced online.

In our latest clip of Peter Berg’s best Michael Bay impression, a shit ton of things explode, yet nothing at all catches our interest. You see a lot of the alien ships, but still no creatures, and shots of every celebrity whose quota the producers were somehow able to meet (oh, and Rihanna). You can view this noisy, CGI-filled trainwreck after the jump.

Thankfully, most the proposed board game adaptations in recent years …
