Her envisions a future where humans and OS’s interact as one, with the underlying question of whether or not we need actual human contact for relationships or if artificial intelligence romances are enough to keep us satisfied, while losing the little things that make us human.

The name Godzilla roars in the streets worldwide. He is known from Japan to L.A., and even has his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. But, after appearing in more than 28 films for the Japanese production company Toho, and three American productions (one of which was the terrible 1998 Roland Emmerich version), Godzilla deserved the proper big-screen treatment. Gareth Edwards has given fans a reason to cheer, as he has successfully brought everyone’s favorite daikaiju to the twenty-first century. The technological advancements in cinema have allowed Godzilla to become more than a man in a suit and fully demonstrate the brute force and power of the one-and-only Godzilla. Director Gareth Edwards’ only other work was the 2010 small-budget hit Monsters, so he seemed like a risky yet fitting choice. On a micro-budget, he was able to write and direct a film that much like Godzilla, featured a … Read more

(PCM) – This is a detailed spoiler-free review of Spider-Man 2.
Spider-Man is now The Amazing Spider-Man with Andrew Garfield as the hero Peter Parker. In the first reboot we were encouraged by what appeared to be a more accurate retelling of Spider-Man in the Marvel universe. In this second episode we find many elements such as Daily Bugle editor J. Jonah Jamison are missing and while it has not entirely diverged from canon, The Amazing Spider-Man reboot is falling apart as a faithful representation. There are homage’s to the comic book series such as the iconic time of (1:21 am) for those in the know. There is also Gwen Stacy being dressed in film and standing in settings exactly as drawn in comic book panels giving the impression director Marc Webb wants to deliver a Spider-Man that true believers will accept.

A new YA trilogy, a wasted cast, unoriginal storytelling, and a movie that should be skipped entirely. This may be the situation to read the book and stay away from these movies.

Ator l’invincibile (1982)
Ator goes to avenge the deaths of his fellow villagers at he hands sorcerer/emperor Dakkar, and rescue his sister/bride from the evil regime. Dakkar has ruled for a thousand years with the help, it seems, of less than a dozen horse-riding warriors, who sound like drunken cowboys when they set upon the helpless townsfolk.
Sample dialogue includes:
Ator: I love you.
Sunya: And I love you.
Ator: Why can’t we marry?
Sunya: Ator, we are brother and sister.
Ator: I’ll talk with our father
The father, upon hearing this from Ator, expresses his happiness since Ator was adopted anyway. Of course we needed this scene for Ator to find that he was the son of Torren (Toren?) and Ator has a destiny to fill and what-not.
His journey includes a walk through the “Forest of the Walking Dead,” but nothing happens there, threatening music notwithstanding. The best action takes place in the well-lit cave where the blind warriors live. He ends up fighting his(?) shadow in the basement. In the mix there is the hot blonde Amazon thief named ‘Roon’ and his Yoda-like trainer, Griba.

(PCM) The original Robocop was an unexpectedly intelligent story, mocking our consumer driven society with shocking violence and self-referential humor. Like most of Paul Verhoeven’s films, Robocop was ahead of its time. Many elements of the 1987 film are still relevant today, in fact most of the sci-fi concepts from … Continue reading →
