As I wrote before, David Tennant will cease to be Docror Who after this year’s season. The next Doctor will be the youngest one in the show’s history - Matt Smith, at the age of 26. Matt will start his carreer as the Last of the Time Lords in 2010, in the 5th season of [...]

If I would be to define a good science fiction movie, I would start with a negation: it’s nothing like The Day The Earth Stood Still or any such Hollywood monstruosities. It’s not even remotely like Star Wars or Star Trek, or even like Stargate - these are really entertaining and fun to watch, [...]

Leading up to the events of “X-Men,” “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” tells the story of Wolverine’s epically violent and romantic past, his complex relationship with Victor Creed, and the ominous Weapon X program. Along the way, Wolverine encounters many mutants, both familiar and new, including surprise appearances by several legends of the X-Men universe.

Dune is one of the greatest science fiction epic novels of all time. My opinion is that such a vast and complicated creation simply cannot be transposed to film - David Lynch has tried and failed, John Harrison was closer, but his version was not perfect as well… Peter Berg, director of such movies as Hancock [...]

That was the question I found myself asking after I saw the latest Hollywood “science fiction” flick called “The Day The Earth Stood Still”. This movie is the best example of how a good and valuable movie is remade into a stupid and valueless product! This movie had no moral, no action, no plot, no nothing! It [...]

Still in the age of prequels… The trailer of “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”, the first of a series of pre-X-Men movies, will be first shown to the public on the 12th of December, right before “The Day The Earth Stood Still” with Keanu Reeves. Let’s hope the new X-Men movie will be less of a disappointment than X3…

A movie’s value cannot be calculated in revenue dollars. A good example for this fact is that Donnie Darko (a huge fiasco as far as revenues are concerned) has become a cult movie, and its director, Richard Kelly, a cult cinematographer. Many have become fans of the Donnie Darko movie, but not even the greatest fans [...]
