The Sundance festival released its competition lineup today, and it includes two science fiction heavy hitters. One features a soul-stealing inventor (Paul Giamatti) and the other is a Japanese flick about cloning a lost astronaut. Let's not forget, this was the festival that made people stand up and shout about Sleep Dealer and Timecrimes just last year, so I'm equally excited to see what the future of Sundance holds for these two.

Cult genre savior and Sundance darling Nacho Vigalondo took time out to talk to us about his brilliant time travel movie, Timecrimes.

Read on for an interview with Vigalondo, who breaks down his traveling hero and chats about his latest project Ramp, about one man's dream to jump his car onto a UFO. More »

This Election Day marks the symbolic end of the Bush administration, and some thought it would never come. That's why two years ago, a team of filmmakers decided to end Bush’s term prematurely with Death of a President. The film has courted controversy for its depiction of Bush’s assassination, but what’s important is what comes afterward in this weird twist on near-future scifi. More »

Michael Rapaport thinks he can fly, even when he’s landed face first on the floor. But at least he has a sunnier outlook on life. In new indie flick Special, Rapaport plays Les Franken, a meter maid whose unremarkable life gets a much-needed dose of excitement when he enrolls in a trial for an experimental antidepressant. A dark comedy about pharmaceuticals, Special may be the perfect antidote to Hollywood's superhero mania. More »

We're looking forward to The Beast of Bottomless Lake, a Canadian flick about the giant snakey Ogopogo creature that lurks in the bottom of Lake Okanagan in British Colombia. It's the tale of a lonely cryptozoologist who has lost his university job and just wants to win the $2 million bounty offered for incontrovertible proof that the Ogopogo monster exists. With his ragtag team of weirdos he plunges into a hunt for the creature, and the whole thing is captured documentary-style by a film student. The trailer is completely bonkers (in a good way), and is packed with lovely Canadian accents. [The Beast of Bottomless Lake] Thanks, Avery Monster-Sensei Guerra! More »

Finally someone is remaking a scifi movie that I'm not terribly upset about. In fact I think I could watch numerous reboots of Attack Of The Giant Leeches and never get tired of the big, black, blood-sucking creatures. The 1959 Roger Corman classic is getting remade by My Dead Girlfriend indie director Brett Kelly, who promises to bring on the suckfest. More »

Though Cloverfield is definitely one of the great giant monster movies of recent years, it's best feature was also its worst feature: the reality-TV feel to the acting and camera work. I'm a fan of the jiggy-cam stuff, but I was one of many who had no sympathy at all for the entitled yuppie main characters who YouTubed their own demise. Now a new crop of truly indie monster movies may offer a corrective to the New York rich kid POV in Cloverfield. The forthcoming Blob-meets-illegal-pharmaceuticals flick Bio-Slime, whose trailer you can consume right here, is a good example of these new-style monster flicks, whose low production values look suddenly professional in light of the faux-low production on Cloverfield. Other indie monsters are rampaging in your DVD drive next year too. More »
