Event Horizon. The trailers made it seem like just another 90s sci-fi horror flick trying to ride the Alien high, but it ended up being such a good movie with a tight script, beautiful set design, actually smart characters, and great acting.
1·27 days agoThe chemistry between Kevin Costner and William Hurt was so perfect. This is one of those hidden gems that I like to recommend people to surprise them with just how good it is.
Glad to know his life ends like his comics did, eliciting a brief eye roll and a faint chuckle.
I kinda like it. Stalin looks kinda sad and disappointed, as if he’s looking into post-war Europe and seeing that all hope of revolution is being extinguished.
It’s probably the exact face he would make if he got to listen in on the French Communist Party meetings at the time.
The Expanse is a wonderful show. It’s a slow burn with how they rearranged some things, but seasons 3 & 5 in particular are some of the best stuff I’ve ever seen. They take the great premise but questionable execution of the books and turn it into something truly amazing. It also has a hard sci-fi foundation that is quite rare and follows it pretty faithfully.

In particular I absolutely adore how they handled the first entry into ring space and particularly Drummer and Ashford in season 3. They combined a lot of characters and plots, gave them a more realistic foundation, and trimmed the fat. And in turn we get a story with white knuckle pacing where the antagonist isn’t a villain, but a person trying their best in an impossible situation.
Battlestar Galactica is another I’ll always recommend. It has plenty of issues, but despite those flaws it manages to achieve incredible heights. You can still see its influence on sci-fi today. People love or hate the ending and last season and what they did with some characters and blah, blah, blah. There is a reason people still argue about this show nearly 20 years later. It’s worth arguing about.
