Review: X-Men First Class
0
Since the opportunity arose, I decided to go see X-Men: First Class with a few friends. Before I write my thoughts down, I must first say a few words. I am a not a comic book reader, nor am I particularly familiar with the true origins of the X-Men. But I am comfortable in my appreciation and [...]
Tron vs Tron Legacy
0
This morning I began watching Tron Legacy, on 2D Blu-Ray, with my daughter. Which of course made me think of the almost 30 years since the original. While I wasn’t alive when it came out, it was certainly something I grew up with. But not until I entered my twenties did I realize just how big [...]
Source Code: Good, but not
0
This past Friday I had the pleasure of seeing Source Code. This movie had everything it needed to be a great science fiction film. It was directed by Duncan Jones, who directed Moon and also helped write it. So we know he’s a friend of the genre. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, a favorite of some, [...]

Here is your Official MySciFi Summer Recap:
Movies:
Inception: I call it high cinema, a movie tied for the title of best movie of the year. It was made flawlessly, acted wonderfully, scripted brilliantly and pretty much just blew everyones pants off. Not much else can be said for Christopher [...]
Splice: “What’s the worst that could happen?”
1
You could see this movie, THAT is the worst that could happen. I’m not going to over exaggerate and say that your spouse leaving you, your dog dying and your truck getting stolen would still be a better fate than watching Splice, but country songs really should be written about this movie. The [...]
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

My wife and I saw this movie over the weekend. I went in with mixed feelings, not really expecting much. Which worked out beautifully since this movie delivered. Directed by Mike Newell (who most recently did the fifth Harry Potter movie) and based off of the long running and famous video game [...]
The Thing (1982)
0
This movie, in the almost thirty years since release, has become a critical favorite among the sci-fi horror genre. It has an 80% on Rotten Tomatoes (if you don’t know, that’s pretty good), is in the top 200 on IMDB at 164 and finally received critical acclaim across the board despite poor initial [...]
The Not So Infallible Iron Man (2)
3
As far as comic book movies go, the Iron Man series is by far the best Hollywood has done. Some of you might cry foul pointing at the new Batman movies, but Batman Begins and The Dark Knight are just too high cinema to put them in the same realm. It’s more that Christopher Nolan took a comic book [...]
