MOVIE REVIEW: CHAPPiE

Question: What do you get when you combine Short Circuit with Robocop and the intent to take the results seriously?

From The Old Floppies: Issue #16: "Schriver's Selves"

Back when I was in college, working on my bachelors degree, one thing I was hoping I could possibly do was get published in a science fiction magazine of some sort.  So, I wrote what I thought was a story that would  pass an editorial board and submitted it to a few places.  On the list were Asimov's Magazine, the Sci-Fi Channel's website/e-zine at the time, and a few others that I've since forgotten over the years.  When the first attempt, which you're about to see, failed, I wrote something I thought would be better and tried again.  That attempt didn't work out any better for me, but at least I can say I tried, if nothing else.  I really wish I'd held onto the rejection letters a bit longer, just as mementos, but such was not the case.  More on that, and the other story, as well, may be forthcoming.

For now, though, here's my first attempt at getting something published: the ultra-short story "Schriver's Selves".

Doctor Sonic...?

Well, the Doctor does have a Sonic screwdriver, after all...

Stooge Overload: Have Rocket, Will Travel (1959)

Well, with the Farrelly Brothers' Three Stooges movie out and me considering seeing it, why not talk a bit about other Stooges movies I've seen and like?

MOVIE REVIEW: Sucker Punch: All Your Fantasy Are Be See In This

There's something for everybody in Sucker Punch, folks! Fair warning, spoilers below the jump, everyone. The short form here is that yes, I highly recommend going to see Sucker Punch. This one was just as worth the money as Green Hornet was a couple months ago.
