Hardware – A Good Idea Gone Wrong

Ok, yes I know that I am about 20 years to late watching this film, but I finally got around to it a few nights ago (thank you Netflix and Gabe from the Office for referencing this film.) The film, Hardware (1990) is loosely based on a short story from the  2000 AD comic book. The Short story, called SHOK! Walter’s Robo-Tale was written by Steve MacManus and Kevin O’Neill and followed the aftermath of the Cursed Earth Saga. Continue reading →

Jules Verne is probably rolling in his grave because the trailer for Journey 2: The Mysterious Island is almost painful to watch, with the only thing sadder than a destroyed classic being Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s complete and total fall to disgrace.

Charlize Theron, Snow White and the Huntsman

OMG!!!!

The Hobbit: Book to Film: A Jaunty Discussion By Rachel and Elena

First question to ponder: Why are you interested in this adaptation?

Elena-

The Hobbit was the book that got me into reading, into fantasy, and into wanting to write my own stories.  Its influence on my life has been far-reaching and profound.  Of course I am going to see this movie when it comes out.  (Actually, I take back the “of course.” There is no of course about it…I have yet to see a single film version of Pride and Prejudice because I have yet to see a cast list that I think can pull it off to my standards, which, if you’ve been reading my column for two years, you know are high.  So it is not a given that I would see this film; therefore I am making a positive declaration:  I am going to see this movie when it comes out.)
