Think what you’d like about the Resident Evil franchise (I think it’s magically poopalicious), but the trailers have a smug way of toying with the audience. Instead of delivering the standard "When the dead rise, humanity falls" cliche, we’ve been treated to their warm and cozy "Oh-la-la, it’s sexy time", only to be cold-cocked with … Continue reading

The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror films has announced the nominations for the 33rd Annual Saturn Awards, the show that recognizes great talent and achievement in some often marginalized genres.

The title for Sylvester Stallone’s return to Rambo has changed a number of times over the last year or so, with the latest being the very Volume-7-in-a-juvenile-readers- book-series-sounding Rambo: Pearl of the Cobra.

We’re less than a week away from the 79th annual Academy Awards, the awards ceremony most likely to make me get angrier and angrier over the course of four hours. Last year I actually got to my feet and yelled obscenities at my television when Crash got the Best Picture Oscar. This year looks like … Continue reading
