Epic Kirk to the rescue, but no love for genre at the Oscars
by Doc on Feb.25, 2013, under Awards, Movies
The Oscars opened up last night to host Seth Macfarlane interrupted by a large-screen bearing the image of Captain James T. Kirk himself, having come back in time to help prevent Seth from being labeled the worst Oscar host ever (whether that was successful of not is a matter of opinion – although a number of jokes fell flat or may have been a little too off color, I think overall he did well – we did laugh hysterically at the “We saw your boobs” number…), but that was about the limit of the genre recognition – not that it was up for many awards. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Snow White and the Huntsman and Mirror, Mirror all came up empty.
The one place where it couldn’t use was the Animated Feature category, where it was it was generally felt to be a two-film race between Disney features, with Brave beating Wreck-it Ralph for the honor.
Check out the trailer for sci-fi short HENRi
by Doc on Feb.25, 2013, under Movies, Online Video
Henri is a Kickstarter-funded sci-fi short film starring Kier Dullea (2001: A Space Odyssey) and Margot Kidder (Superman) and written and directed by Eli Sasich (Lifeless), about a derelict spaceship that becomes self-aware and builds itself a mechanical body in order to feel alive.
Although it has a 2001 feel about it (I couldn’t help but think that it could be HAL after the events of 2001, left alone…), it definitely looks cool.
The movie itself is available now online at www.henrithefilm.com to stream for $1.99 ($2.99 with a making-of feature), or for purchase on Blu-ray/DVD (from the website) or digital download on iTunes and [asin=B007R9L7DQ]Amazon[/asin].
