    I still don't have the edit button but I think I've only seen one sci-fi title since the site went down. I took my first trip to NYC and with March Madness going everything pretty much went out the window (alien wise). Are the stars gone as well?

    I love BOTH versions of THE BLOB. Both are favorites of mine but SON OF BLOB.... that's another story. Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984) :star::star::star: After the events in the previous film, Kirk (William Shatner) risks his career by stealing the Enterprise to go to a restricted...

    Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982) :star::star::star: This sequel is certainly a major step up in terms of quality. This time out Kirk (William Shatner) and Spock (Leonard Nimoy) must lead an inexperienced crew to do battle against Khan (Ricardo Montalban), a man who was forced to exile for...

    Melies has so many wonderful horror/sci-fi films out there. I've seen most of his work that survives and it's usually pretty amazing what he was able to do and especially when you compare it to the rip-off artists that were working around the world. A TRIP TO THE MOON is a real blast. I wanted...

    The Man From Planet X (1951) :star::star: Early invasion film from director Edgar G. Ulmer is somewhat better than it probably should be but it's certainly no classic. A Scottish community is shaken when a UFO lands and a weird looking alien is found. It seems the alien comes in peace but no one...

    Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama (1988) :star::star: With a title like this I really hope no one is coming to it expecting the work of Kubrick. In what's 80s Queen Heaven, Linnea Quigley, Robin Stille, Brinke Stevens and Michelle Bauer make up the cast and we have "B" movie maverick...

    Critters (1986) :star::star::star: Fun sci-fi spoof about a Kansas family who finds themselves under attack from small fur balls that can shoot out poisonous darts and have an appetite for flesh. CRITTERS was New Line's reply to GREMLINS and for my money it's the better movie. There's no...

    Dark Skies (2013) :star::star: Lacy and Daniel Barrett (Keri Russell, Josh Hamilton) live with their two sons and soon strange things start to happen around the house. At first Daniel thinks it's just something unexplainable going on but the wife soon discovers that other people have shared...

    Cyborg (1989) :star::star: Jean-Claude Van Damme plays a martial arts expert in the post apocalyptic future who must try and rescue a female cyborg from a group of murders in this cheap film from Cannon. You can tell you're watching a Cannon film early on because there's really nothing about the...

    I guess I'm getting old or there's something else wrong with me. People often ask me if I forget what movies I've seen since I watch so many and my answer has always been no. In 32 years there was only one times where I watched a movie thinking it was the first time I was watching it. Well, now...

    I'm going to try and make it through the STAR TREK movies for the first time in my life. If I've got time I'm going to go through THE MATRIX and PLANET OF THE APES films. I'm going to try and kill it since there are many sci-fi titles that I usually plan to watch during the horror month but they...
