This week’s not-so-clever title refers to the fact that none of us had seen Prometheus at the time of recording (which has since been remedied, at least by Rafe). While we don’t have our own review to talk about, we do discuss the different reactions from our two writers, Thomas and Doc Rotten. We also talk about the passing of sci-fi legend Ray Bradbury and how his work has been realized... 

Prometheus is a multi-layered, fascinating, visually-stunning sci-fi masterpiece. Ridley Scott channels his inner Stanley Kubrick to realize an intelligent, yet exciting and visceral, thrill-ride. The film resides very much in the Alien universe Scott launched in 1979 but it is also very much divergent from that film and its themes. With Prometheus, Scott transports the audience to another world, another... 

Two scientists (Noomi Rapace and Logan Marshall-Green) are leading an expedition to a far off planet after getting the basic inspiration from several cave paintings they’ve discovered in Scotland. Followed by a boatload of crewmembers, the two of them find mysterious artifacts and controls left behind by an alien race that could potentially hold the keys to finding out the sordid and fascinating... 

Ridley Scott may have been playing coy with fans and his new science-fiction film, but the ruse is up. For months Scott has evaded questions about whether Prometheus was related to his iconic 1979 science-fiction entry. As pictures have come out, fans have devoted themselves to the idea that this is a sequel or prequel to Scott’s own Alien. Now the first trailer is out for Prometheus and it’s pretty... 

The Retrospectives are an idea I’ve been rolling around for a number of years now, even going back to my time with Cinema Blend. You see, it’s bothered me that we decide in the heat of the moment which film was better that year. We can’t decide what movie was the best movie in a given year just as we can’t determine if a year is going to produce a good crop of wine. It takes... 

The legendary Robin Hood and his merry men weren’t quite enough to take down Marvel’s Iron Man 2 at the box office this weekend. We review both of those movies, with a second week spent looking at the comic book sequel. Walter Matthau’s Bad News Bears and The Fortune Cookie leave a disappointing taste for our artist of the month this week, while we talk about cast additions to Transformers... 

So it’s like I’ve been hidden under a holiday rock or something, because somehow the trailer for Robin Hood came out and whizzed right by my field of vision. This is definitely a teaser trailer, giving you little if any plot or story layout other than Russell Crowe, who plays the title character, coming out of some water and kicking butt. From the trailer we gather Cate Blanchett is Maid Marian... 

We take a cue from Sesame Street this week, with the letter F used repeatedly throughout the show as we talk about Funny People, preliminary reviews of the upcoming G.I. Joe, and a new wave of remakes that includes Harvey and The Secret of NIMH. You’ll also hear part of our upcoming interview with Psych stars James Roday and Dulé Hill (thanks to Joshua Bozeman of The Blue Site.com for letting... 

Sequels, prequels, and reboots of the popular Alien franchise have been tossed around for quite a while now. The last we heard, the franchise was due for a restart with Carl Rinsch at the helm. Rinsch was an interesting choice, as the director is considered by many to be the protégé to original Alien director Ridley Scott. Now plans have changed, and it appears that Scott himself will be returning...
