Hollywood has a mixed history with cyberpunk, to say the least — so the news of a movie version of Richard K. Morgan's ultra-noir Altered Carbon getting fast-tracked makes us a bit nervous. So much of what's great about that book is the intense violence and weird sex work... and then there's the long torture sequence, which would be hard to get right without looking like torture porn. We love this book about a world where people can download their personalities and memories into newly cloned (or rented) bodies, but could it work as a movie? More »

I like to watch teenage Amazons eat weirdly poop-looking chunks of human flesh as much as the next person, but still last night's Supernatural didn't do much for me. "The Slice Girls" was a welcome respite from the heavy, depressing arc following Bobby's death, but it also gave us weirdly flat monsters who might have been more at home in a Hammer film circa 1970. That said, this episode gave Jensen Ackles a chance to shine as we watched Dean sliding deeper into depression and desperation. More »

Friday night's Supernatural, "Time After Time" was basically a giant excuse for Dean to dress up in a 1940s suit and spout references to The Untouchables. That's right - it was another time travel episode, which brings American history according to Supernatural up into the twentieth century. Guess who was a Hunter in the 1940s? You'll find out, though it might make you groan - but no more than you'll already be groaning over the anime smut jokes. More »
