Rory Williams may be stuck in a fixed point in time, but Arthur Darvill is a man on the move. By now, you probably know he’s going to be playing Rip Hunter in Legends of Tomorrow, but today I want to bring your attention to an indie short he stars in. The film is called […]
They met on the battlefield, it was love at first sight. Never mind they were fighting a battle against an army of extraterrestrial Tyrannosaurus Rex soldiers armed with head-mounted laser cannons. This was true love, born in the trenches of war and nurtured by their Ridiculously Awesome Adventures®. Escaping the enemy by riding on the […]
What if you had an expiration date? We all expire, but we never know ahead of time just when that’ll be. This is an idea that has been explored many times before. When I think about the concept, the first thing that comes to mind is Logan’s Run, but there are many examples of stories […]
It’s been too long since we’ve featured a worthwhile short film, but I promise you this most recent offering, The Candidate, is definitely worth watching. The titular character played by Tom Gulager is joined by fan-favorite Robert Picardo whose character represents a secret organization known as the Society for United Action.

Time […]
It’s pretty easy these days to find any number of science fiction shorts online. Many of them are really good, rivaling big studio productions and utilizing photorealistic CGI in innovative ways. In fact, these days almost anyone with the skill and patience (and, of course, talent) can produce a stunning bit of cinema that often […]
For as long as I can remember I’ve loved amusement park rides. I’d ride anything from the spinning teacups to the craziest, fastest rollercoasters and love every second of it. After watching the fictional “documentary” The Centrifuge Brain Project I’ll definitely think twice before allowing myself to be nonchalantly shackled to what could be death […]
When you watch R’ha you’ll have a hard time believing this is the work of a 23-year-old student in his first year studying film and animation.
