If you are a fan of the 1979 sci fi masterpiece Alien, then you more than likely know Ellen Ripley. Here is what she has to say about the upcoming film.

We’re slowly but surely getting closer to a full cast for the upcoming much anticipated sequel to the greatest science fiction film ever made, Blade Runner.  Yes, I DID just say it’s the greatest, because it routinely tops the “Best”, “Greatest”, “Favorite” lists the various academies and experts write. In 1982 director Ridley Scott introduced us […]

If you are a fan of the 1979 classic sci fi horror masterpiece Alien, then you more than likely know who Ellen Ripley is.  Sigourney Weaver brought the character to life in Ridley Scott’s first entry into the film series, reprised the role in James Cameron’s 1982 follow-up Aliens, and again in two more chapters. It’s […]

We may not know much for sure other than yes, this new Blade Runner project from visionary Ridley Scott is being called the “sequel” to the classic 1982 film, but more information is slowly making it’s way to the light.

I’m not sure how to start this.  So, I’ll say what I’ve been telling everybody, READ THE DAMN BOOK.  Once you’ve done that, maybe you’ll understand my utter disappointment with Fox Studio’s newest film, The Martian.

If you’ve noticed, one of the films we’re most anticipating this year (I mean Star Wars notwithstanding) is The Martian.  Based on the fantastically heavy science novel by Andy Weir, the film is being directed by Ridley Scott and has all the makings of a true space classic. One of the things you need to know about […]

If you haven’t read Andy Weir’s “The Martian”, you need to.  It is a fantastically scientific AND entertaining read, that may surprise the passing space fan.  The news here today is the very first look at what star Matt Damon will look like on the surface of Mars in the upcoming film from director Ridley […]

Arguably one of the most stunning films ever made is getting a sequel.  We’ve known that for awhile now, rumors circulating about the Blade Runner 2nd film have been reaching fever pitches since right after Prometheus hit theaters. Today we have our first bit of concrete news about the return to Replicants and not-so-far-away futuristic Los Angeles.  12 […]

There is something truly magical about Ridley Scott’s 1982 masterpiece Blade Runner.  Many of the epic science fiction films of today are held to the standard Scott set when the first view of a futuristic Los Angeles graced the screen. It still holds up, too.  If you haven’t purchased the amazing blu-ray set, you should.  But, […]

I am a Ridley Scott fan.  He’s been responsible for some of the most influential and important pieces of science fiction cinema in history, Blade Runner and Alien. It seems like the path of his projects recently has taken a Biblical turn, and his next big film project is a retelling of the story of Pharaoh […]
