The head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency warned that extreme weather events like the tornados that recently devastated portions of the South and Midwest will become increasingly common as climate change wreaks havoc on the planet.
“This is going to be our new normal,” Fema Administrator Deanne Criswell said on CNN’s State of the Union.
At least 90 people died, according to The New York Times, after a string of tornadoes tore through more than 200 miles across the states of Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee. “This is...

Ed Wood’s 1959 masterwork Plan 9 From Outer Space is nowhere near the worst movie ever made, as anyone who’s seen it might testify. What can be said about it? It defied any traditional movie-making conventions and does it without any shame whatsoever. Wood had to have the cast baptized in order to make this bizarre film, and that’s the least strange thing about it. The original title Grave Robbers from Outer Spacewas later ditched, but Criswell mentions it during the intro nevertheless.
Plan 9 was promoted as “almost starring Bela Lugosi” because he died before the film could even get finished, and the footage of Lugosi from this film was originally filmed by Wood to be included as a part of his movie The Ghoul On The Moon, which never got made, so Wood just shoehorned those scenes (which just involve Lugosi walking around with a cane...

"We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives ..." — Criswell, "Plan 9 From Outer Space" (1959)
Some (actually quite a few) sci-fi films are more than just pieces of escapist entertainment. Some of them are freakin' prophets, don'tcha know, making predictions about what life will be like once we reach the year in which the particular film takes place.
Okay, it doesn't always work: when we reach 2015 in a couple of years, it's probably safe to say that there won't be the flying cars of "Back to the Future Part II." But who's to say our 2019 won't involve a Los Angeles that looks like New York City with a lot of Atari logos (as depicted in "Blade Runner") or that our 805,971 won't involve, uh, Guy Pearce (as depicted in "The Time Machine")?

Celebrities will invade Los Angeles this weekend for the 84th Academy Awards ceremony. Searchlights will blaze and flashbulbs will pop as Hollywood stars will descend from the heavens -- or maybe just the Malibu hills -- to touch the ground that regular Angelenos walk on each day. They'll smile and snarl our traffic. They'll toss their hair and forget to thank their husbands. They'll praise each other for their bravery, while collecting $75,000 gift bags. L.A. is accustomed to such strange invasions, of course. If you're a movie fan, you already know that L.A. has been invaded over the years by everything from giant atomic ants (Them), to buff cyborgs (The Terminator), to rampaging 3D zombies (Resident Evil: Afterlife). So Angelenos take invasions from movie stars in stride. But this weekend marks an anniversary of an invasion you might not know about: L.A.'s first alien invasion. This...

It has been so long since we've reported on the supposed remake of Plan 9 from Outer Space , that I nearly forgot that it was threatening to assault to our peepers. The project was first announced back in 2008, a "teaser" struck in 2009 along with the news that the producers at Darkstone Entertainment were aiming for an April 2010 release. Since then, the official site has been updated regularly with a faux Criswell posting YouTube videos. Now, here we are in 2011 and it's getting ready to shoot in Bedford County, Virginia beginning tomorrow. From what I've gathered at the site, writer-director John Johnson is aboard with a cast of newcomers.

Today is 09-09-09. What better day to premiere the first teaser trailer for Plan 9, Darkstone Entertainment's "serious-minded" attempt to remake the film hailed as the worst motion picture of all time, Edward D. Wood Jr.'s Plan 9 From Outer Space? Yes. A remake. A serious-minded remake. Can't comprehend such a thing? That's because of your stupid minds! Stupid! Stupid!
Filmmaker Joe Johnson of Darkstone Entertainment got it in his head to remake Ed Wood's notorious stinker and do so with an emphasis on making it a more serious thriller. Does he pull it off? See for yourself with the trailer below.
My personal thoughts: Looks far more polished than I expected for a low budget remake of the worst movie ever made. The radio broadcast of Criswell's opening speech is a nice touch. Not sure what to make of that computer animated floating thing other...
