January 10th, 2008 · 2 Comments
Mark Harris of Entertainment Weekly wrote a great (IMHO) article about the State of Science Fiction movies as a genre. He lambasted the genre for being too wrapped up in nostalgia and not taking chances.
Ideally, sci-fi’s next rescuer should be someone whose ideas about the future derive from somewhere — anywhere — other than [...]

December 17th, 2007 · 1 Comment
This morning several movies shared their beginings with the world. I am planning on seeing all of them. Unfortunately I Am Legend’s opening scene is stuck in Yahoo Movies and Cloverfield’s first 5 minutes are embeddable in about anything other than Wordpress or plain html (good job guys).

Amber and I just finished watching 1408. This movie starring John Cusack is amazing. This movie simultaneously earns two awards from me. 1408 ranks in my top 20 movies (top 5 scary movies if you are counting) and Movie I never want to see again.

The responses though not necessarily scientific are interesting. I enjoyed looking at the breakdown by Gender and Age Range.
If you want to check out the Poll of 1,000 [...]

Last nite we went to see Blades of Glory at the local theatre. The movie was great, hilarious and much better than expected. I wanted to bring to your attention a bit of movie theater etiquette.

Star Wars: Attack of the Clone Images
January 23rd, 2007 · No Comments
A classmate of mine sent me a Link to his Brother-in-law’s science fiction drawings from the 1970’s side by side with scenes from George Lucas’s Star Wars. The resemblance is striking. I believe at some point in the past a settlement was offered but not taken. I have just a few examples [...]
