Directed by Justin LinStaring Vin Diesel and Paul Walker5 out of 5 Arnolds What is a brand? A brand is a promise. When you see the golden arches of McDonalds, the prancing horse on a Ferrari, or the once bitten fruit on an Apple computer, you know what you are getting. A quick hot meal, a fast red car, and a smooth computing experience. That’s what Universal has managed to carve out with the Fast And Furious franchise. Hot people,...

In an attempt to bring you, our readers, a more well rounded experience we've gone out and recruited someone to cover any and all things Sci Fi. And trust me, he's legit. He speaks Klingon. His name is Stephen Sumner, and you may have already seen his work in the recently published piece Star Wars vs. Star Trek: This. Ends. HERE. This. Ends. NOW! If not, go now, because it's full of insight, wit, and even....a reasonable conclusion!...
In today's day and age, when we are bombarded with crazy, sexy images left and right it seems like it's harder than ever to stand out. But when Alice Eve was shown off in a bikini in STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS that scene managed to spark a firestorm (I guess) of conversation about exploitation of the female form in popular media. Damon Lindeloff himself was even forced to explain himself (check this out) and he admitted the...

Let’s look at the facts, shall we?Creator’s Original Intended AudienceStar Wars: George Lucas simply wanted to make movies for the young and young at heart, similar to the movie serials he watched when he was a kid. Serials such as “Flash Gordon” and “Radar Men From The Moon.” There was no intent to create a “mythos leading to a paradigm shift in global human consciousness.” Many like to think of Star Wars as being something...
It seems like the Internet is rife with concerns about depictions of the female form in movies. Pajiba's Joanna Robinson, however, has a different take.Before you start, this isn't meant to say that gender depictions in film has improved (the MPAA still needs to get over it), but that maybe some of that online venom is just rabble-rousing.Enjoy....

Star Trek Into DarknessDirected by JJ AbramsStarring Chris Pine and Benedict Cumberbatch4 out of 5 Arnolds A mass-murdering maniac with apparent super-powers is on the loose in Star Trek Into Darkness. And it appears he has a serious bone to pick with Starfleet. J.J. Abrams' sequel to his hit 2009 reboot of the Star Trek franchise lives up to it's title, it is darker, meaner and has a body-count that dwarfs it's predecessor (excluding...

Star TrekDirected by J.J. Abrams Starring Chris Pine and Zoe Saldana4 out of 5 ArnoldsIt’s hard to avoid a cultural phenomenon like Star Trek. I’ve never seen an entire episode of any Star Trek series (I have, however, seen most of the movies) and yet, despite it all, I know more about Gene Roddenberry’s creation than I want to admit. For example: I know that Vulcans are a species fueled on logic, not emotion.I know that there was...

FX wizard Ray Harryhausen inspired countless filmmakers, from George Lucas to Peter Jackson. He had the type of influence that most men dream of.If you're not familiar with Harryhausen then turn in your "geek" card now. More than likely, some fandom that you're a part of started with someone seeing Ray's work, growing curious about the artistry behind it, and going off to create the very thing you love.RIPFull Article....

Family watches out for family, so I invited my younger cousin Andrew to chime in on Iron Man 3. Why? Well, mostly because I'm tired of writing about Marvel @$#%, but also because the kid seems to have an opinion. Whether I agree or disagree is irrelevant, but, as a movie nerd, what I can't accept is a viewer with no opinion at all. Sure, those people exist (hell, movies like Iron Man 3 are targeted exactly towards people like...

It’s the 1970’S. American Cinema is a hot mess of tired tropes and young rebels trying to change the business. Among this era of crazy films and wild indulgence were the norm and movies like Shaft (1971) kicked off Blaxploitation cinema. It was a unique, if pandering, movement that gave voice to black culture and actors like never before. One woman that stood out of from the crowd and became a pop culture icon was Pam Grier. Gorgeous...
