Things To Come
(previews of galleys received)
Media: Tripping
The Rift -
The Sci-Fi channel's
newest series, a CGI space opera with a
crew of misfit spacers, including every cliché the
creators could think of, out to make a name for themselves, or
maybe just a buck...whichever comes first.
Upcoming Media:
03/10 Dawn of the Dead
(Film) When is a snuff movie not a snuff
movie? When you're killing Zombies! This remake of a horror classic has
good buzz, if you like that sort of thing. Sawicki will probably see it.
03/16
Century City
(TV) LA Law in
the year 2030. Need I say more? A good setup for mining SF concepts, but
its hard to stay ahead of reality.
03/19
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless
Mind
Jim Carey
stars in a story about memory erasure that amazingly wasn't written by
Philip K. Dick.
04/02
Hellboy
(Film) Yet another comic book come to the
movies, Ron Perlman plays "Hellboy", a demon conjured up by the Nazis,
but who has turned his powers to good instead of evil. See it in a
double bill with "The Passion" for maximum dissonance.
