First post

This blog is about sci-fi movies. But it's not going to be your average blog.
There's going to be blood. Tits. A lot of B-movies, some stinkies. But a lot of good ones too.

I'm going to review them according to my own taste.

Criticism is welcome anyway, please comment!

Enemy Mine (1985)

Enemy Mine is a flick from 1985 based on a novella of the same name by Barry Longyear and directed by Wolfgang Petersen. In the future, humans have gone to war with an alien species called the Drac. A fighter pilot played by Dennis Quaid crashes on some planet while fighting the Drac and finds himself stuck with his worst enemy, a Drac warrior.

Screened two years after the first Star Wars movie, the film obviously tried to tap into Star Wars' success. Some things are straight rip-offs, like the overly polite robot companion. But this is entertainment at a different level than Star Wars is. This is pure cheese! A spacecraft that looks like a moth shoots lasers at a giant robot's tits. The plot: there's the good guys and there's some bad guys, and the good guys must kick the bad guys' ass. I don't really remember anything about the plot, but it's really not that important. Instead the film is full of classic moments. You get a lot of stupid outfits, a lot of cleavage, you get the Hoff, you get starships shooting torpedoes that have soldiers inside them, a lot of crappy effects, a lot of colors and psyched...

Bad movie physics

We all know that sci-fi flicks are rarely more SCI than they are FI. Explosions and sound in space, dodging lasers, and all that stuff. To sort out all that mess, check out this cool report card at io9! Check out also io9's tribute to Starcrash if you're bored! And then go read my review of it.
