Here’s the film’s premise: “Soon after arriving at Oxford U, an American Rhodes Scholar student falls for an arrogant teaching assistant […]
When the original Man from U.N.C.L.E. tv show aired, from 1964-1968, the Cold War was a real thing. We were straight off of Kennedy’s showdown with Fidel Castro over Cuba; the Berlin Wall separated families and men and women were desperate enough to escape that they risked death to cross over; the exploits of spies […]
Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation Written and Directed by Christopher McQuarrie You may be wondering why a non-scifi film is being reviewed on this scifi site – it’s easy – I made up the list of movies that we choose from to review, and I wanted to review this one. And really, with all the techie gadgets […]
Ant-Man, a Not-so-Small, Hit! This review may contain spoilers: I openly admit to being very pessimistic about this film. Even though the words “Marvel can do no wrong” have been firmly drilled into my brain I still couldn’t help but have a nagging feeling about this one. I couldn’t quite pinpoint it; maybe it was […]

It seems like you can’t have a conversation about space travel these days without the subject of a manned mission to Mars popping up, and that’s perfectly understandable. We’ve long been fascinated by the Red Planet and we live in a time when it’s finally beginning to look feasible to send hairless apes to our […]
It boggles my mind that most people rate Tomorrowland on its merit as a film. While that might be important on a superficial level, it’s not WHY the movie was made. I thought it was perfect, though maybe (clearly) it’s not for everyone (yet). Some people will say, “Yeah, I got it,” and then get […]
