A few hidden gems to watch on Netflix right now

October 31, 2019 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

(Image via https://twitter.com/ComicBookNOW) Netflix’s popularity is pretty much there for everyone to see. It’s all over our television screens, our friends are regularly talking about their favourite new shows on it and - when assessing the competition - Netflix really is the number one option of its kind. Of course other forms of entertainment continue to shine, with the … [Read more...] about A few hidden gems to watch on Netflix right now

Speculative Fiction Saturday: Kung Fu Panda 3

September 24, 2016 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

Kung Fu Panda 3

I have to admit the Kung Fu Panda took me be surprise when I first saw it. It was a typical story of a complete underdog who must overcome obstacles, kind of like Rocky and The Karate Kid. The only difference is that it is done with a computer-generated panda in an interesting and fantastical anthropomorphic world. The issue with the first film is that it was self-aware. … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Kung Fu Panda 3

Speculative Fiction Saturday: Mockingjay, Part 2

September 17, 2016 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

Mockingjay Part 2

I probably should have reviewed this film a while ago, like right after it first came out. Most of you who are familiar with my Speculative Fiction Saturday stories know that I don't often report on films as they come out, but occasionally, I do. I usually feel a need to do some sort of plot synopsis or something, but honestly, just read my reviews of The Hunger Games, … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Mockingjay, Part 2

Speculative Fiction Saturday: Millennium Actress

August 27, 2016 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

millennium actress.341

I would appear that I am celebrating the anime extravaganzas of Satoshi Kon, and this time it is Millennium Actress. I'll go ahead and get this out of the way and say that it is very similar to Perfect Blue, in that I'm not really certain what is reality when I watch this movie. This is kind of why I like watching Kon's films, because they are deliberately disjointed to … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Millennium Actress

Speculative Fiction Saturday: Perfect Blue

August 20, 2016 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

Perfect Blue

Okay, I often don't review anime, and I can't say that Perfect Blue is speculative fiction. However, this is one film that is just so very interesting that I have to write about it. Perfect Blue was directed by Satoshi Kon, who passed away in 2010, and left behind many great animated films. I haven't seen them all, but I remember seeing Paprika many years ago and still … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Perfect Blue

Stephen King’s ‘It’ and ‘The Dark Tower’ Release Dates and News

August 17, 2016 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

pennywise ew 00054120 612x380

It looks like 2017 is going to be the year of Stephen King adaptations. Considering that the horror author has had many done in his name with some good and some bad, it looks like some of his best and well-known works are going to made into films. The first that is coming is The Dark Tower with Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey, and it is a planned trilogy that will be quite … [Read more...] about Stephen King’s ‘It’ and ‘The Dark Tower’ Release Dates and News

Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Little Prince

August 13, 2016 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

the little prince 1sheet 20 041

I don't know how many people have heard of Antoine de Saint-Exupery's most famous work of The Little Prince before, but this film, which was made overseas and adopted by Netflix, is going to put it on the map. It certainly will get people to read translations of the famous French work, but the might be surprised that it is nothing like this adaptation. The most obvious … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Little Prince

Speculative Fiction Saturday: Robot Overlords

August 6, 2016 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

Robot Overlords

Okay, I'm not certain why I have never heard of a film known as Robot Overlords, but what do you think a film like that would be about? If you said that a bunch of robots take over, you would be right! If you are wondering why you have never heard of this film, I am guessing it is because it probably didn't have a big release. That's actually too bad, because this film … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Robot Overlords

Speculative Fiction Saturday: Stranger Things

July 30, 2016 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

stranger things eleven

When I first heard of this series, it was described as a mix of Stephen King with Steven Spielberg. It definitely has a touch of Steven's magic realism back in the eighties, with a touch of King's horror, and it works. It is a series that really should have been made a while ago, back when Amazing Stories came out. I don't think that I have talked about that show, but … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Stranger Things

Speculative Fiction Saturday: Ghostbusters 3, not the reboot, but the game

July 23, 2016 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

Today's film that I am reviewing is one that you can watch in the YouTube video. It is a Ghostbusters film, but it isn't the reboot. Just to let you know, I did review the 2016 reboot, and you can read that review here. By the way, I liked it, and don't think it was worth the hate it received before it was released. It is not as good as a film as the 1984 Ghostbusters (like … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Ghostbusters 3, not the reboot, but the game

Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Sin City Series

July 16, 2016 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

Sin City

This is one of those times where I am cheating and writing about something that isn't really speculative fiction per se, but I have some good reasons. 1) Sin City is based in a graphic novel, which are prime speculative fiction inspiration. 2) Most Speculative Fiction words should be as creative as this film. 3) Sin City is hopefully not a realistic depiction of any real … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: The Sin City Series

Speculative Fiction Saturday: Finding Dory

July 9, 2016 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

FINDING DORY   Key Art

This one isn't really speculative fiction, but I take great comfort in the fact that Pixar's films for over two decades have involved using computer graphics to create very real stories. In 2003, Pixar made what was probably the biggest movie of the year with Finding Nemo, and brought fish to life in a way that was never seen before. And sadly, it was imitated terribly in … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Finding Dory

Speculative Fiction Saturday: Independence Day (1996)

July 2, 2016 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

independence day image

Okay, I probably should be reviewing Indpendence Day Resurgence, but I actually did that already on The Gospel Herald. In case you haven't realized this week, I've been a bit lazy with my posting. So, I decided to review Independence Day, a film that I will have to say is a B-movie, and it seems like the creators knew this. The issue is that it dealt with an alien … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Independence Day (1996)

Speculative Fiction Saturday: X-Men Apocalypse

June 25, 2016 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

X men

I have to admit, I came into X-Men Apocalypse, not expecting to like it. I mean, I didn't think it would suck, but this is the sixth film in the series, so I guess I am wondering how much life is in this series. In fact, I could compare the X-Men series with another popular series that 20th Century used to own with Star Wars. The original X-Men was a hit, and it opened the … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: X-Men Apocalypse

Speculative Fiction Saturday: Spectre

June 18, 2016 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

Spectre

I believe that this is the first time that I have reviewed a James Bond film, and this is probably cheating. James Bond films are not science-fiction, unless you count Moonraker. However, I recently wrote about how James Bond could be relevant in today's age, and there are some themes in Spectre that have been explored in speculative fiction works, and is a commentary on … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Spectre
