| I've got to hand it to actors recently, they've really been saving writers'
butts. From last year's "The Hurricane" being saved by Denzel Washington's
amazing performance, to last week's "Reindeer Games" being held afloat by
Charlize Theron and Gary...more |

| /Pitch Black/ is standard sci-fi action fare that has its moments in
terms of the visual cinematography, but the plot is mostly derivative
and uninspiring. more |

| I don't know what I was expecting from "Pitch Black", but certainly not an
extraordinarily slick and well-made little SF action movie. Made for less
than the catering costs of some big-budget films, "Pitch Black" has the same
flavor of "The Terminator"...more |

| Total crap. That would be the most accurate choice of words when
describing the majority of sci-fi monster movies that have been exposed
to in the past few years. Characters were pursued down flooded cruise
liner hallways by fake tentacles (“Deep...more |

| Remember when you were a kid, and you were afraid of the dark? Come on,
now, it wasn't that long ago, and don't hand me any of that crapola
about how you never needed a night light or a partially open bedroom
door. As far as fears go, it's pretty much...more |

| Much imagination can be seen in the science fiction thriller
_Pitch_Black_--and I mean "seen": in a time where all the far-off worlds
in distant galaxies have come to look the same, cinematographer David
Eggby has given the film's central planet a look...more |

| Pitch Black operates on the same premise as Asimov's "Nightfall": when the
sun goes down, the calamity starts. In "Nightfall," however, what darkness
brings with it is social upheaval, the breakdown of civilization, all that,
which is to say the cycle of...more |

| Pitch Black, a new entry in the sci-fi action category of "people vs.
space bugs", manages to avoid the pitfalls that lots of other films in
this genre inevitably stumble into. Far too often I've witnessed
these things spiral headlong into a black hole...more |

| This sci-fi horror flick is at its best simulating a hypothetical three sun
solar system. Amateur astronomers (myself one) will raise many a
deliberating eyebrow at the assumptions we swallow in order to accept this
conjectural reality. more |
