The Frankenstein Theory is a new story from the classic legend, brought into modern times. In this telling, the monster is real (and near-immortal), living in the frigid wastes of northernmost Canada, and he is the subject of scrutiny.
Professor John Venkenheim (Kris Lemche, Final Destination 3) has spent his life pursuing the idea that the Frankenstein legend was, in fact, true, and that the creature is likely still alive somewhere. By the beginning of the film, the professor believes he has collected enough evidence to suggest that the creature has made its home in the frozen tundra up north.

Doomsday Book – The End Comes Thrice
by James Maynard May 8th, 2013 | Independent, Movie Reviews
Doomsday Book is a South Korean film, which explores the end of the world in three different stories. Shot in the original Korean, the film is presented with English subtitles. The Korean title of the film, pronounced Inryu Myeongmang Bogoseo, translates as “Report on the Destruction of Mankind.”
The first of these stories, A Brave New World, is a classic zombie tale, in which a combination of ingredients mix in such a way that a new virus is created. This new superbug is virulent and contagious, causing its victims to become zombies. The people killed by these zombies then become

Oblivion
by Ronald A. Rowe April 23rd, 2013 | Movie Reviews, Sci-Fi
Oblivion is a new science fiction film starring Tom Cruise. The film is, in a word, complicated. Not “complex” as in a multi-layered narrative that requires the viewer to pay sharp attention to detail. “Complicated” as in there’s a whole array of strange and sometimes disjointed story points bumping together. Sometimes complicated works. Other times it doesn’t.
If at all possible, try to avoid watching the trailers for the film if you are planning to see Oblivion. Some of the clever plot twists were completely and irrevocably spoiled in the commercials. The marketing department of Universal Studios did not do

A Movie Brought Back from Extinction
by James Maynard April 9th, 2013 | Movie Reviews, Sci-Fi
Jurassic Park is the latest movie to re re-released in 3-D. This 1993 classic, directed by Steven Spielberg, based on the Michael Crichton novel, was a charming, classic film, full of ferocious reptiles on the prowl for humans at a theme park full of genetically-modified beasts. In 3-D, the movie retains its charm and quirkiness, even if there is little added depth that comes with the added depth.
This 3-D re-do of the original Jurassic Park, released 20 years after the film first hit theaters, does not change the original movie – this is a frame-by-frame re-creation, except for the

The Host
by T Akery April 3rd, 2013 | Movie Reviews, Romance
The Host is a sad movie whose trailer betrays the total sum of action in the entire movie. Is it an action movie? Nope. Is it a "save the human race" movie? Nope. Is it even a decent alien movie? Nope. The whole movie can be summed up as a romance movie. Yes, you read that right. It is a movie about romantic entanglements between four people. If you are expecting so much more from the trailer, you are bound to be extremely disappointed.
So, an alien species has taken over earth. They are all about peace, politeness, and the
