Countless movies have attempted to blend the science fiction and horror genres, but not many have done it as well as the original Predator. (Witness, for example, most of its sequels and spinoffs.) With that franchise returning to theaters, let’s call out some other movies that pulled off the trick successfully. One note: The Alien...

SteelBook Alert: You Betcha!

Josh Zyber — Wed, 23 Apr 2014 16:00:05 +0000

As I mentioned last week, Fox’s upcoming wave of war movie SteelBooks in the UK doesn’t do much for me. Even if you feel the same, the studio has a lot more metal cases coming down the pike, and many of these have unique or at least interesting artwork. Unfortunately, Fox has a tendency to...

Last week, the Graboids were no match for the almighty Cthulhu. Also, Imhotep’s mummy proved to be too much for Swamp Thing. In today’s Monster Madness battles, we finish off the round of 32 to determine our final two entrants in the Slimy Sixteen. Oh, Mr. Marshmallow Man. I love your happy demeanor and your...

We’re losing a few genuinely good movies from Netflix this week. There’s also one that’s just so bad it has to be seen. Monsters, Inc. (12/12) Somehow I tricked myself into thinking that ‘Monsters, Inc.‘ would be around forever. It’s been on my queue for months now, just waiting to be watched. I guess now’s...
