Our list of the worst science fiction and fantasy movies of the year doesn't include films that practically nobody saw — for example, we left out Branded. Otherwise, a strong contender for inclusion would have been Red Lights, the weird paranormal thriller that has an A-list cast: Sigourney Weaver, Robert De Niro…

Galaxy Quest isn't exactly a movie you'd expect to attract an R rating. After all, the parody of scifi TV shows and their fandoms is already pretty perfect with its innocent aliens and a nod to female eye candy who looks particularly stellar in a tight military uniform. But somewhere out in the universe, there lurks a…

Sigourney Weaver was a guest on the Graham Norton Show, and Norton decided to reenact John Hurt's famous "chestburster" moment from Alien. Comedian Sandi Toksvig has amazingly never seen Alien at all, so she was the perfect person to take John Hurt's place. Worth watching both for the huge amounts of gore, and for the…

Paul is probably the most anticipated science fiction comedy of the year. Two road-tripping nerds, played by Shaun of the Dead's Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, meet an alien "gray" named Paul, who turns their world upside-down. It's our favorite comedy duo going to Comic Con and traveling with an alien! The film has had its…

Check out Sigourney Weaver's screen test for the part of Ripley in Alien. Nailed it — damn do we miss this brand of asskicking female hero. The clip is part of the Alien anthology box set, out Oct. 26th.

We spent five minutes talking with legendary science fiction heroine Sigourney Weaver. Find out what science fiction story she's most interested in playing now, what's next for Avatar's Dr. Grace, and why Ridley Scott needs to reinvent the Alien franchise.
