Marvelous Movies for Hard Science Fiction Lovers

July 27, 2021 by Red Stewart

Marvelous Videos with some movie recommendations for hard sci-fi lovers… It’s easy to exploit the science fiction genre for its ludicrous narrative potential.

Critical Thinking: What You Like vs. What Is ‘Good’

February 19, 2017 by Anghus Houvouras

I’ve been writing about film for a long time. To quote Nicki Minaj; I’ve been hot since flip phones. In another couple of years I’ll be at the point where I can describe the span of time I’ve spent reviewing and writing about movies as ‘decades’.
