Blade Runner 2049 was an absolutely incredible film [FIGHT ME] that pairs with it’s forebearer extremely well. Director Denis Villeneuve was able to facilitate and present a visual and aural feast for fans of the original Sir Ridley Scott sci-fi noir masterpiece and an entire new appreciative generation of more-human-than-human audiences. Starring Ryan Gosling, Jared Leto, Harrison Ford, Ana de Armas, Sylvia Hoeks, […]

First of all, get yourself a copy of Blade Runner: 2049.  Any flavor will do, but I highly recommend the 4K/Blu Ray combo pack (if you have the at home setup to really enjoy it).  It’s absolutely stunning, and gets you the closest to an at-home movie theater experience as is possible without a few thousand […]

Anytime Sir Ridley Scott gives an interview, it seems to be peppered with nuggets of perplexing gold.  There was the Alien should be bigger than Star Wars and Star Trek line, the “I’m too dangerous for Star Wars” why he wouldn’t direct one line, and the “Blade Runner 2049 didn’t do well because it was too f***ing long” line. In another chat with […]

The last few years’ filmography from Sir Ridley Scott has been….interesting….with some notable misses and at least one pleasant surprise, his movie magic prowess is world renowned. Of course one the titles most synonymous with the Englishman is 1982’s seminal work, Blade Runner.  We got a sequel to that sci-fi noir this year from Oscar nominated […]

We’re following along as the Los Angeles Film Critics Association has their daylong fete and votes on their favorite films from the past year. There’ll be films ranging from the start of the year, all the way up to ones that haven’t yet released. We’ll be adding commentary as the winners and runner-ups are announced […]

I just got done with my Blade Runner: 2049 screening, and this will be one of two reviews (at least) I will write.  Without pretense, I am completely astounded and blown away.  In a statement from director Denis Villeneuve (Sicario, Arrival) read before the film started, we were asked not to reveal key plot points and I will honor […]

The release date for Blade Runner 2049 is getting closer, and that means the replicants are getting restless. Previously announced, an anime prequel of sorts to the continuation of the classic science-fiction noir tale has been released. Crunchyroll has the short anime film titled Blade Runner Black Out 2022, and it was just released this morning! You […]

Well that’s a nice present for a Thursday evening: Blade Runner 2049 apparently has has an animated short coming out which has been developed by Shinichirō Watanabe, the creative mind behind the anime classic Cowboy Bebop. Titled Blade Runner: Black Out 2022, it’s set to release on September 26th, ahead of the main feature film’s release on […]

I’ll start with this: I probably won’t be able to shut up about the utter awesomeness that was the Blade Runner 2049 experience at San Diego Comic-Con last week. Last week? Jesus, it’s already Monday, isn’t it? If you’ve ever gone to SDCC to work, as press or vendors or other, you know how the return […]

One of the most celebrated years of film releases in the history of cinema, 1982 has probably the best spread of science fiction and genre releases ever.  We had Mad Max: The Road Warrior, Conan: The Barbarian, Poltergeist, Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan, E.T., The Thing, Megaforce, Tron, The Secret of NIHM, The Beast Master, Pink Floyd: The Wall, The Last Unicorn, The Dark Crystal, and the […]
