Crystal’s Shadow (horror UFO film: trailer).
In the SF-horror flick Crystal’s Shadow, Crystal (actress Mhairi Calvey) flees an orphanage believing that UFOs are after her. Is she mad, or is she is correct in her strange paranoia?

Midsommar (horror film: trailer).
In the movie Midsommar, a couple travels to Sweden to holiday with a buddy and end up attending the town’s odd mid-summer festival. Heck, have they never seen the Wicker Man? Yes, of course, a pagan cult is involved and things get weirder and more demonic faster than you can draw a pentagram on the […]

Training an animated dragon after two successful previous films while appeasing the appreciative audience is the easy part. However, reaching the trilogy status while maintaining the whimsical allure of those same predecessor films is another entire story. Hence, writer-director Dean DeBlois does somewhat accomplish this feat for some more warm-hearted breeziness in the third instalment […]
Tangent Room (2019) (a film review by Mark R. Leeper).

The Young Adult (YA) film genre has had its ups and downs throughout the years in all kinds of categories that range from robust youthful romance to high-minded SF themes. More often than not the YA film phenomenon strains to pander to its targeted demographics. Some are effortless in creating such a massive draw, witness […]
X-Men: Dark Phoenix (second trailer: Poor Jean Grey: Sadly led Astray).
Ah, poor Jean Grey: so easily and so sadly led astray. In the much troubled and re-shot X-Men: Dark Phoenix she goes full postal and embraces her Inner Sith. That bodes badly for the rest of the X-Men, and at least one of them dies in her switch.
