John Scalzi - SNL Actors Plus SciFi Movies Equals Box Office Death

10 Jun 2009 17:34:44 PDT

Written by John Scalzi
Should we be surprised that Will Ferrell's Land of the Lost tanked? Not really. Saturday Night Live actors like Bill Murray and Eddie Murphy have been failing at scifi for years. A couple of weeks ago I wrote about Land of the Lost, arguing that it "has the potential to become this year's Speed...

What Should the Wachowskis Do Next?

12 Mar 2009 15:00:00 PDT

Written by Annalee Newitz
After I saw Watchmen, which was a bumpy but intriguing ride, I realized what the movie was missing that might have saved it. It needed the visual pyrotechnics of the Wachowskis, whose movies always make you feel like your eyeballs just got an upgrade. Watchmen may have been gorgeous, but it w...

Frank Darabont's most recent Stephen King adaptation, after the twin successes of The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile, is no misty-eyed, magical prison drama like before. It is, however, a real joy for fans of the horror/sci-fi flick, updating the 1950s monster movie, through t...
