Aliens seem to really like to target Earth for invasion. From the reptilian baddies from V, the human ship suckers in SKYLINE and the straight-out annihilators in BATTLE: LA, it’s been a pretty brutal battle between earth vs. the extraterrestrials. Now, TNT adds their own take on this science-fiction premise with the June 19 debut of their new series FALLING SKIES from executive producer Steven Spielberg. The series picks up six months after the invasion as a disparate group of people band together for survival and to stand and fight for humanity’s survival. The series stars Noah Wyle, Moon Bloodgood […]Read On »

He not only had the chance to prepare by going to boot camp prior to filming, but he gained an even bigger respect for the military once the project was through.

It’s no surprise that V has struggled during its run to find its voice and remedy pacing issues. And the first two episodes of Season Two offered up promise, but still felt like the series was dealing with the wayward plotting ghosts of Season One.

However, “Laid Bare” has remedied many of those issues. A solid episode packed with action, revelations and some very cool effects, it’s one of the best episodes of the series to date and promises a major upheaval in the personal lives of all the characters.

Movie Review: MONSTERS

By ABBIE BERNSTEIN 10/08/2010
MONSTERS movie poster | ©2010 Magnet Releasing

MONSTERS is an inventive low-budget blend of science-fiction, horror, character study and political parable. It hits this last aspect a bit hard, but otherwise, it’s very entertaining. Director/writer Gareth Edwards admirably avoids the one-two-three-something-jumps-out-of-the-dark scares common to creature features in favor of a steady sense of tension. The film has the “what-if?” factor of DISTRICT 9, the giant entities wreaking havoc of CLOVERFIELD, the astonishing natural splendor of its Mexican/Central American locations and the soul of a low-budget indie.
