It's been a rough couple months for us in general, but I can honestly say that this week is the worst yet. I'm trying to stay positive, but there are times it's simply not working. So many people I will miss working with. I feel a little okay because thankfully most of these people are my friends so it's not like I won't see them, but Spill definitely will not be the same without them. However, like my girlfriend Kelly says "sometimes opportunity doesn't knock so much as it burns your house…

When remaking a classic film of any genre, one always runs into the danger of stepping on the toes of the original film's canon. When that original is as revered as Sam Raimi's …

Of all the post-apocalyptic films being released in 2013, I'm looking forward to Joseph Kosinski's 'Oblivion' the most. Tom Cruise plays a drone operator assigned to eliminate the last of an alien race on Earth some sixty years after its…

Rating-Better Than Sex!!!   What can be said about Blade Runner that hasn't already been said? There is the period of time before Blade Runner, and there is the period after Blade Runner. Thanks to Ridley Scott's brilliant directing, this plot of a man hunting down a group of rouge human replicants is brilliantly paced so that you never get bored. There is always something visually stunning onscreen 24/7, in my opinion the best part of Blade Runner is not its smart script,…

Rating-Full Price!!   From the director of Forrest Gump, Back To The Future, and The Polar Express comes a brilliant drama starring Denzel Washington as a pilot, one day while flying his plane gives out and he is forced to crash land, while several passengers die, he is able to save most of the people onboard. Now, the blame for the crash has to fall on someone and unfortunately he is that someone. From there on, Flight chronicles the aftermath of such a traumatic incident…

I was already interested in Neill Blomkamp's 'Elyisum' prior to Comic-Con, because it is in fact a new Blomkamp sci-fi movie, but the footage they revealed during that panel rocketed the movie way up my list of most anticipated films of 2013. 'Elysium,' takes place in a distant future wherein the wealthy have…

Late last week, we saw the epic teaser poster for Joesph Kosinski's 'Oblivion,' and now, true to the theme of the day, we have the first trailer for this post-apocalyptic sci-fi actioner. If the poster had me intrigued, the trailer has me hooked. …

This is going to be the day of the sci-fi, post-Earth future movies. First up we have the international trailer for M. Night Shyamalan's 'After Earth,' which also happens to be the first one we've seen. 'After Earth' revolves around a father and son exploration team (…

Tom Cruise seems to have somewhere in the neighborhood of eight projects lined up over the next couple years. One such project is Joseph Kosinski's 'Oblivion.' The movie takes place in a distant future and revolves around a drone…

After McG's 'Terminator: Salvation,' the sci-fi franchise found itself in a bit of a bind. The North American…

  Christ, this one took forever to do, but in the time that it's taken, I've been pulling all my notes and scribbles together (both old and new) to, well, figure out what to write about next.

   In my last blog I said I'd divulge my tale to you, the reader (again, how many out there that cares to read this), but…

For once, the actual author of the story set out to make his version of the story on film the definitive one! Not only that but Chbosky manages to convince anyone that his version of the story and its characters in this film should be the only version to be made. It's one of those rare films that…

Rating-Matinee'  I have to admit: Total Recall isn't really all that bad for a remake. Total Recall stars Colin Ferrel as a man whos life is down the shit, basically. Though, personally I don't see how anyone that has hot ass Kate Beckinsale as a wife can be miserable.  So he goes to this place called Rekall that…

Rarely does a science fiction film make you really think about philosophical questions that are nearly impossible to answer but whenever one does come along, it's always a real treat. The same goes for time travel stories. It is so rare to find an excellent example of what a time travel movie should be because whenever…

Author’s Note: While this is a review of an anime show and a discussion on the recent revamp of Toonami and their possible future, this doesn’t count as an “Anime Discovery” review because most of the stuff I cover on that blog is anime that you don’t see on TV and “Deadman Wonderland” is considered as something you saw on TV at late…

Big day for sci-fi news. First 'Attack the Block's Joe Cornish signs on to his next project, adapting Neal Stephenson's 'Snow…

Remarks made by directors in interviews as to their career aspirations and dream projects seldom warrant news coverage. However, when that director is one of great geek stature and the dream project is both epically awesome and seemingly entirely feasible, it's worth discussing. Such is the case…
