Best And Worst Science Fiction Movies Of 2008

This wasn't just the year that science fiction dominated the movies — it also featured an amazing diversity of SF stories. Here's our list of the greatest — and most horrendous — films of 2008.

Clone Wars Saves Itself By Channeling... George Lucas?!?

This week's episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars offered thrills and spills, derring-do rescues and damsels in distress, and a breathy bad-guy ditching the flawed giant evil death machine and flying off into deep space at the end of the episode. It all seemed very familiar indeed, like this old movie about Darth something and a Death Star, who could've guessed? But Star Wars wasn't the only George Lucas joint that this week's episode cribbed from... and we'd like to see more, thanks. More »

Hippos And Robots And Hellboy Oh My In This Week's Comics

It's another of those slow weeks in comic stores - which, considering comics aren't hitting the streets until Thursday this week, may not be that bad a thing. (Blame last week's holiday; apparently, the price for independence is that your comics are late a week afterwards.) While publishers try to plug the gap with reprints, the week really belongs to giant robots and hippos in pirate outfits. Find out why under the jump. More »

Superheroes Stage Shelf-Space Takeover In This Week's Comics

If certain retailers are to be believed, this week's new comic releases mark a peculiar milestone, as a certain troubled publisher finds its main rival mounting a serious attack on its real-estate of shelf space. But outside of what's either a bold grab for market share or a coincidental clusterfuck of shipping dates, it's another relatively quiet week for new releases in this week's comic stores as the industry begins to prepare in earnest for next month's San Diego Comic-Con. More about the conspiracy theory of release dates and what you may (or may not) find in your local store under the jump. More »

Unfilmed Indy 4 Script Has 23 Percent More Awesomeness

What would Indiana Jones 4 have been like without Shia LaBoeuf's cocky young character Mutt? Now you can find out for yourself, thanks to a leaked copy of Frank Darabont's draft of the Indy 4 script that's floating around the internet. (It should be pretty easy to find via Google — and people seem to think it's genuine, but you never know.) Bottom line: It's a bit more exciting, but still pretty hokey. And it features some mean-ass aliens. Spoilers for a movie you'll never see, after the jump. More »

Indiana Jones Delivers the Best X-Files Movie of Summer

It's not necessarily a good sign when you can only describe the latest entry in one summer franchise, Indiana Jones, by reference to another franchise, X-Files. that is also pumping out a summer movie. And yet the whole time I was watching Steven Spielberg's serviceable little action flick, full of Harrison Ford's trademark lopsided smile (still cute) and jungle chases (still pulptastic), all I could think about was how this was the movie X-Files: I Want to Believe should be. It had exotic locales, new agey aliens, marvelously bad pseudo-science, and a plucky male-female team at its heart. I mean, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is X-Files with monkey jokes instead of paraphilias. But is that a good thing? Weirdly, yes. More »
