Seek the Wolf in Thyself!
My Other stuff on TV
The more and more I think about it, the more and more I get frustrated with what people and particularly fandom has accepted as “good” movies. I am not saying that I am the final and end all to be all judgement, but I am asking people to at least look at some movies with…
In this modern age, it is harder and harder to get into shows especially if you cut the cord like we did. Now we rely on streaming and HD airwaves for our entertainment. Hulu, Netflix, Sling.TV and Kodi/XBMC are the keys to our entertainment. I have been watching similar things for a while now, with…
24 has always been one of my favorite shows. I loved Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer and I would go see anything with that character in it. It’s just bad ass and fun. When I heard they were rebooting it, I was skeptical. When I heard that Kiefer was not returning, I was even more…
I saw this movie come across Facebook in the form of a throw-back movie poster and was intrigued. Investigating it, I found that one website claims it was sited as the inspiration, in part, for Predator. The trailer has some amazing actors – Jack Palance, Martin Landau, Larry Storch, and Kevin Peter Hall (the man behind the…
A couple of things have prompted me to type this up. First, the Everything Wrong with guys posted their take on SW7. And I could not agree more. Now this does not mean I hated the movie or I want people to hate the movie, but there were quite a few things that bothered me story-wise…
Every once in a while, you will find a gem on Youtube.com that is surprising. Of course, Youtube has had full length movies for a while. Recently I decided to explore the sci-fi selection and found a movie that interested me. It looked pretty cheesy but something about it peaked my interested. As it turns out, there was more to it than just a cheesy name.
Ice Planet (2001) is a movie pilot that was intended to be a series. Made by a team of Canadian and German producers, it starred a few actors I recognized and a few I did not. One part Star Trek: Voyager, one part Battlestar Galactica, and one part Stargate: Atlantis, this pilot had incredible potential and I am highly disappointed that it never made it as a series.
Browsing NetFlix again, I found a new sleeper sci-fi/post-apocalypse movie called The Colony. Starring some of my favorites like Bill Paxton and Laurence Fishburne, this movie had a great look, a great background but a fairly predictable and straightforward plot. It has some good concepts and execution wasn’t bad but for such an epic setting, it was a tad disappointing in story. But there is some inspiration in it.
Sometimes you run across a movie on NetFlix and you wonder if it could have been a show pilot. I found one of these gems and it was called Parallels. It sounded like a remake of Sliders with a little The Lost Room thrown in. It is a movie that approaches a subject in sci-fi that is…
I came across another movie while browsing my streaming options that intrigued me by the movie poster and the name. Not knowing anything about it other than it was sci-fi, I decided to give it a try. Sometimes I will start a movie like this and stop it after the first 5 minutes while other…
I have said before that I am struggling with my Star Wars fandom after seeing SW7. There was so much to like but there were flaws, some of which I just could not put my finger on. Well, finally someone has. Max Landis, in his own uncensored (language warning) and spoiler filled way, speaks to…
