The history of genre movies is littered with massive, lavish failures — movies that took hundreds of millions of dollars and tossed the money down a sinkhole. But some of the movies that everybody "knows" were box office disasters actually did really well, when you look at the numbers. More »

Despite my elementary school diploma, I loved Spy Kids: All the Time in the World. Why? It's a chilling examination of an alternate reality in which children have become fellow travelers in global espionage, a parallel universe where Langley is run like Willy Wonka's candy-colored calorie mill. Like Ender's Game mixed with The Mickey Mouse Club, this is hands-down some of the grimmest shit ever to limbo under a PG rating. More »

Somehow in our write-up of lame video games you see people playing in science fiction, we neglected the fantastic Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over, which you really have to be five years old, or on five kinds of drugs, to appreciate. Sylvester Stallone is the toymaker, who's created a really cheesy looking virtual reality 3-D game involving laser stick battles. And in the end, Sly somehow lets the game out into the real world. So Antonio Banderas, Carla Gugino, Ricardo Montalban, Steve Buscemi and Bill Paxton, plus about 20 others, have to team up to save us from giant robots that you can only see if you wear special glasses. Someone who has a fetish for cowboys branding robots has seen this movie 10,000 times. [IMDB] More »

Watching Alan Cumming unzip his head of cutsey braids as the "Scarecrow" in the SciFi Channel's Tin Man last night reminded me of another role he played as Nightcrawler, the crazy blue mutant from X-Men 2 . . . and another role as a freaky god named Loki in Son of the Mask. He's always this ambiguously gay elfish creature. Let us consider the mutant evolution of Cumming, shall we? More »
