A crime thriller in a gritty space setting probably inspired by Alien. It's not great; definitely weaker than Peter Hyams' other space movies (Capricorn One and 2010). Not a must-see.

The crime-infested mining colony reminded me a lot of Babylon 5.

Remember when Ridley Scott used to be good?

A modern version of Paper Moon with a good twist ending. Pretty solid. Nic Cage delivers an impressive performance as the Adrian Monk of con artists (his famous "pissed blood" meme comes from this movie).

Well... for the most part, it was That's why replacing the actors with CGI would make the cartoony action sequences less objectionable.

I'm not familiar with that one. It has a weird Rotten Tomatoes score (72% of moviegoers, but only 24% of critics), so maybe there's something to it.

We had a separate thread for that queston (it's hard to find, 'cause its title is confusing).

I revisited it recently. What can I say... It's Free Enterprise's ugly brother.

Fanboys needs to be classified as a dramedy, 'cause it's based on a rather cruel joke:

It probably won't work for the non-geeky moviegoer. If you disregard the geek culture references, all that's left is a pretty forgettable story and some uninspired jokes that occasionally venture into toilet humor territory.

I missed yesterday's premiere, but there was a rerun on BBC Entertainment today.

"Deep Breath" turned out to be somewhat disappointing, but I've seen worse episodes. I feel it's way too early to give up hope, the show hasn't jumped the shark (yet)

It is high time for a sequel. A Google translation from English to Latin and back into English makes Star Trek Into Darkness sound like the King James Bible... with gay crossdressers and wolves.
