Kill All Humans. Killer robots want to destroy Humanity because they are possessed by the spirit of an angst-filled teenage girl. That premise sounds awesome, does it not? It would explain a lot about Terminators, but this plot is the central story of the Battlestar Galactica spin-off Caprica. Show creators ...

  Love triangles? Check. Evil twins? Check. Characters returning from the dead? Check. Suspicious men with eye patches? Check. Overwrought emotion? Check. Surpise twists? Double check. Cliffhangers dangling from cliffhangers? Double plus ultra-check. This checklist is for a Soap Opera or a Telenovela -- a television series of melodramatic irony ...

  Mark Zuckerberg. Rocky Balboa. Social Network is a great movie. The writing, performances, filmography, and score all come together to form a modern parable of human interaction.

He's a Native American. Seriously.                First things first. Why is Daniel Day-Lewis (a Caucasian man) the star of a movie called The Last of the Mohicans? Well, there is a reason. His character, Hawkeye, was adopted into the tribe by the last two Mohawk Mohicans; therefore, technically, he is ...

                 If there is a single word to describe Time After Time, it is cute. Yes, a movie involving time travel, Jack the Ripper, rape, and murder is best described as cute. Despite the Sci-Fi trappings and societal commentary, Time After Time is a romantic-comedy at heart. "At heart" ...
