http://www.ginocaputi.com/blog A rare internet blog that analyzes and reviews science fiction and fantasy films Thu, 05 Mar 2009 07:04:21 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en This all seems silly. Did I really spout all that nothing-ness about a whiffet of a film like Spiderman? I'm gonna focus much more on the environment and how we can break free from our dependence on oil. http://www.ginocaputi.com/blog/?p=94 I just recently bought the four disc DVD set of Blade Runner The Final Cut with the Original Theatrical release, etc. and bought the 25th Anniversary Soundtrack trilogy, which I'm listening to as I write this, so I'm in a cyber-punky, Blade Runner-ish mood, ready to expound on ... http://www.ginocaputi.com/blog/?p=85 Like many a sci-fi geek, I grew up on Marvel Comics. I became aware of Spiderman when I was four when I received a Mego Spiderman doll as an Easter present and even though I wanted Batman, my brother explained that Spiderman was better because he could shoot webs out ... http://www.ginocaputi.com/blog/?p=70 STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT (1996) Alright, writing about Star Trek films is getting kinda boring and I'm exposing myself as the total dweeb, nit-picker that I am, so I'm going to be brief and inform all my faithful readers that First Contact is the last Star Trek movie ... http://www.ginocaputi.com/blog/?p=65 STAR TREK: GENERATIONS (1994) Now, just for context, I absolutely don't like any incarnation other than the classic Shatner/Nimoy Trek, so this probably won't be the most analytical review on the subject. I think the Next Generation films were textbook examples of a television producer's complete inability to think like a ... http://www.ginocaputi.com/blog/?p=64 STAR TREK VI: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY (1991) In December of 1991, I was a senior in college, and a theater major mind you, and at that point, like Spock, I had found myself as person. My love of Star Trek was as deep a part of me as conservatism was ... http://www.ginocaputi.com/blog/?p=57 Okay, I have to take a breath in my full nerd-out about Star Trek to recommend the funniest film of 2006! Idiocracy! Written and directed by Mike Judge the guy who did Office Space and Beavis and Butthead (which, I've never seen a whole episode of) Idiocracy is a spot-on hilarious ... http://www.ginocaputi.com/blog/?p=55 Okay, I think the best sci-fi film ever made was Blade Runner, but as this blog is on its maiden voyage, it's only fitting that I christen it with an exhaustive treatise on the Star Trek Films. Star Trek is my favorite movie series of all time even though each ... http://www.ginocaputi.com/blog/?p=50 STAR TREK: THE ... http://www.ginocaputi.com/blog/?p=49 STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN (1982) Flashback to May of 1982 and Scholastic Scope, a nation-wide school newspaper, that I happened upon in my 7th grade Social Studies class, had a black-and-white one page photo write-up on the next Star Trek film. The quality of the pics were so ... http://www.ginocaputi.com/blog/?p=43
