12 Monkeys
From the very strange mind of Terry Gilliam (Brazil, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen and all those whack Monty Python animations back in the day) comes this darkly humorous examination of a man (Bruce Willis) who can’t decide if he’s … Continue reading

Renaissance
This is a very different kind of animated film, much more of a literary exercise than the standard DreamWorks/Pixar cartoon outing, other commentaries classing the black and white, techno-nightmare fable as cross of Blade Runner and Sin City. Finally released … Continue reading

Primer
This odd 2004 indie production (e.g., $7,000 budget) caught my eye in the program grid and with nothing else on on Christmas Eve afternoon. Weird is an understatement, even for an old time science fiction fan like me. Though this … Continue reading

Idiocracy
This 2006 sci-fi comedy from Mike Judge, the man behind Beavis and Butthead, King of the Hill and Office Space, was greatly anticipated by many Judge fans and disappeared without so much as a commercial ripple. Which was too bad … Continue reading

Hackers
Released in 1995, essentially the eve of the World Wide Web’s unleashing, this is a fascinating mashup of hot teenage lust (Jonny Lee Miller and Angelina Jolie in her first lead role) and computer-based corporate blackmail. Watching it again after … Continue reading
