District 9 Director Believes a D9 Video Game 'Would Be Fascinating'

District 9 was a rather quirky Hollywood box-office hit, but it was a hit regardless.

You know that a game is actually good when people begin to complain about the silliest things.

Star Trek (2009) – Movie Review

Until not long ago, they said that you could easily divide filmgoers into “Star Trek” fans, “Star Wars” ones and the in-between group, those who liked neither. With J.J. Abrams’ 2009 “Star Trek,” the origin story, such classification becomes as redundant as it is unwanted. Th...

4400 Mysteries Hit the Summer Schedule

When I said easy, I did not mean weak or lacking value. On the contrary, "The 4400" has quite a reasonably loyal audience for a summer show, when everyone is supposed to be on vacation.
