Sunshine (2007)

February 13, 2019February 12, 2019 ~ idrawonmywall ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Danny Boyle "ashes to ashes, stardust to stardust." The Icarus II is sent to reignite a dying sun in Danny Boyle's Sunshine, and yes, there was an Icarus I, and yes the Icarus II crew will come across the distress signal of the Icarus I which hadn't been heard from in seven years.  Spooky. … Continue reading Sunshine (2007)

Spaceballs (1987)

January 27, 2019January 16, 2019 ~ idrawonmywall ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Mel Brooks The top three things I remember from 2003: The first news footage of the war in Iraq, Ivan Rodriguez dashing the Giants' postseason hopes, and watching and re-watching the trailer for my most anticipated movie of the year, Scary Movie 3.  It's one of those parody movies satirizing or really just referencing … Continue reading Spaceballs (1987)

The Predator (2018)

January 19, 2019January 15, 2019 ~ idrawonmywall ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Shane Black Something feels wrong about The Predator.  It's a rough reboot of the 1987 film, complete with a new round of machismo heroes (though they all suffer from some form of PTSD), but the movie's possible charm dissipates quickly when they do the whole Jurassic World thing of introducing a second, bigger/badder Predator as … Continue reading The Predator (2018)

Predator (1987)

October 4, 2018September 27, 2018 ~ idrawonmywall ~ Leave a comment

Directed by John McTiernan Predator begins awkwardly, with cliche-laden, expository dialogue between muscle-bound action stars, but once the story gets going it finds its own rhythm and becomes quite fun. A military rescue team, led by Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger), is tasked with rescuing a series of hostages held by insurgents deep within a South American … Continue reading Predator (1987)

Life (2017)

August 3, 2018August 1, 2018 ~ idrawonmywall ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Daniel Espinosa You've seen this movie before, even if you haven't seen it.  Life is a hybrid between two movies, Alien (1979) and Gravity (2013).  There are similarities to other recent space station in crisis movies as well, like Alien: Covenant and The Cloverfield Paradox. When we meet the six person crew sent to intercept a probe sent to … Continue reading Life (2017)

Solaris (2002)

May 13, 2018April 21, 2018 ~ idrawonmywall ~ Leave a comment

Directed by Steven Soderbergh Solaris is a remake of the Andrei Tarkovsky film of the same name.  Like the original it is a philosophical science-fiction story that takes its time and might put off certain viewers who want Alien more than they're looking for the final thirty minutes of 2001: A Space Odyssey. The story follows psychologist … Continue reading Solaris (2002)
