David Tennant in Fright Night
Friday, September 3rd, 2010 | Movies, Sci-fi | No Comments
Remember Fright Night? You know, the vampire movie from 1985. Back when vampires were vampires and didn’t sparkle? If you never saw this movie, see the original, as there is a 50/50 chance it’s about to be ruined.
I say this as most remakes suck. They are either remade by people who don’t know what they are doing or just want to make a quick buck off the current trend (In this case, vampires.) and half ass it.
HOWEVER! David Tennant will be playing a ‘updated’ Peter Vincent. The character will be trading in his gentle old man appearance and horror tv show titled “Fright Night”. Instead, the new version has a Hard Rock Hotel show called “Fright Night”, is an illusionist and looks more like a Chris Angel look like.
To me, David Tennant gives the movie a chance. Even if the writers botch the story and the director seems to have steered it into a wall. David Tennant could probably carry the movie with one hand tied behind his back.

Men in Black III, details that left me facepalming.
Friday, July 9th, 2010 | Sci-fi | No Comments
Will Smith will be traveling through time.
To stop a dastardly villain named Yaz (more about him later) from destroying the world, Agent Jay will go back to 1969 where he’ll team with a young Kay.
Duh…what? This might as well say… “We spent the last 8 years trying to come up with a valid story plot, and got nothing.”
Apple is even more important than we know.
Not only will a secret time-travel hub be housed inside an Apple Store, but one way to travel into the past turns out to be by shaking an iPhone’s clock app.
This wasn’t well thought out. Unless there’s a detail left out here.. wouldn’t this mean anyone who shakes the app would travel in time?
Regardless of my over thinking this detail. The first person who I see shaking their iPhone clock app making comments about they are about to travel in time..gets slapped.
More celebrities will be revealed as aliens.
A new film means new celebrities unmasked—Jimi Hendrix, Castro, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Yoko Ono, Andy Warhol and more.
Yoko Ono is an alien…hehe…ok..
Johnny Depp to play Dr. Who in Americanized movie?
Wednesday, June 30th, 2010 | Sci-fi | 2 Comments
Johnny Depp to play Dr. Who – Thats the buzz going around. But is it just a rumor? That seems up in the air at this point. Here is what’s being said:
-Russell T. Davies reported that the reason he moved on from the show was due to the opportunity to transform the Doctor to the big screen.
- Movie studio sources confirmed with Tor.com today that, while it can’t comment on possible story elements, the casting of Johnny Depp as the Doctor for a 2012 film is confirmed.
Here is what I would like to know….why Americanize it at all? Americans who love Dr. Who love it the way it is. Why should it change to appeal to the masses? House hold name? Dr. Who IS a house hold name. Anyone whos anyone knows who the Doctor is.
So why Americanize it? They didn’t Americanize Harry Potter. It was filmed in England (and surrounding areas) and all of the European lingo and culture remained. The same should be done with Dr. Who – it should be David Tennant or Matt Smith to play the Doctor..not Johnny Depp even though he is brilliant.
Wonder Woman gets..pants?

Wonder Woman’s costume has always been a wearable tribute to the American flag. Through out the years the colors have stayed the same. Red top with the American bald eagle in gold, blue bottoms with white stars, red boots and her tiara. The top and bottoms have always been skimpy. More or less the same thing since 1941.
Wonder Woman, as seen above, is getting a new look- and it’s about time! While most super heroes from her era have already had their costumes altered through the years to keep up with the times. Wonder Woman always stuck out, clinging to her retro look..not anymore.
Her story is even getting a bit of a face lift along with her appearance and wardrobe.
“In the reimagining of her story, Wonder Woman, instead of growing up on Paradise Island with her mother, Queen Hippolyta, and her Amazon sisters, is smuggled out as a baby when unknown forces destroy her home and slaughter its inhabitants.”
This change to her story and to her costume, hopefully will help in the campaign to get Wonder Woman on the big screen.
The Amazon thing about Wonder Woman always bugged me. But I can see what the creator was thinking. Guys like hot babes, guys like the idea of an island of all hot babes and guys like comics…. $$$$$$$

Meyer is “burned out on vampires.” – SyFy Wire writes. BURNED. You know..what Vampires should do in the sun! Thank goodness! She’s having trouble writing the next Twilight Book, saying “right now it feels like homework”. Take that as a sign, Meyer. It’s over. No more overly emo people…and for good measure, we should sick these Vampires on the Cullens!

6 reasons why the Smurfs movie will be bad.
Thursday, June 17th, 2010 | Movies, Sci-fi | 2 Comments
1. Gargamel no longer wants to eat the Smurfs. “Now, Gargamel simply wants to capture the Smurfs to serve as charms, whose mystical essence will make his inept magic more powerful — and dangerous.” So rather than eat them, he wants their souls! Mwahaha?
2. The original Smurfs show was set in Middle Ages with knights, kinda and wizards. The movie will start in the middle ages. Gargamel will be chasing the Smurfs. “Clumsy goes the wrong way into a forbidden grotto where a few other Smurfs follow“ Damn you Clumsy! This bad plot is all your fault! “Because it’s a blue moon, there’s a magical portal that transports them to Central Park.”
3. It’s in modern times. Did we have to modernize this? Well sure we did. We want the younger generation to latch onto it so maybe we can reboot with a new cartoon and merch line..right? The movie would be better suited if it was kept in the time frame the original writers intended.
4. Poor writing? Idiots in charge? I was reading the article on USA Today, where it was explained there is a scene where Niel Patrick Harris is putting on a tie. (Yes folks, Niel and his wife take them in. Yay!) He explains to the Smurfs that he has to wear this to work, as everyone has to. They don’t understand why everyone wear the same things…… They don’t understand? Smurfs all wear the same thing, how can they not understand?
5. The people behind the Scoobie Doo live action movies are involved. I’m not sorry when I say.. the Scoobie movies sucked.
6. It’s the Smurfs….

Growl “It’s Fight Club versus werewolves”
Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010 | Sci-fi | No Comments
In Growl, a traveling underground fight club called ‘The Brawlers’ arrive at a derelict ghost town tucked away in the Colorado Rockies. They meet the town’s only residents, the Maxilla family, who want to buy on to the fight card. But the Maxilla family’s true intentions for the Brawler crew is soon revealed in teeth and claws. Some will be hunted, some will be feed, and some will become part of the family whether they like it or not.
This sounds like a promising movie. Katee Sackhoff is in it…and she better be kicking ass, not whimpering and making dumb mistakes like the stereo typical woman in these kind of movies. This is Starbuck after all. Shes to BAMF for that.
They have high hopes, with talks of making it a trilogy with video games and graphic novels.
