On the First Day of Christmas my true love gave to me… a boatload of sci-fi awesomeness. From now until January 6 we celebrate the 12 Days Of Sci-Fi Christmas. Be sure to check back every day for a new entry. I'll know if you don't. I see you when you're sleeping, and I know when you're awake. I'm creepy like that.
After my pathetic one-entry Halloween celebration and my complete lack of Turkitron for Thanksgiving, I think it's time I get my ass in gear and start writing again. So put on your Santa cap and come on in, 'cause it's time to deck the halls with a good old-fashioned Sci-Fi Guys Christmas.
Hey, you know a great way to start the Halloween season? With a review of a horror movie. You know what an even better way is? A review of a horror movie you watched while sitting next to a real life psychopath. Come on in and I'll tell you all about how I almost got Mark murdered for Halloween.
The Dark Knight was very, very good. Very grim, like any good Batman story should be, and ends with the perfect mixture of hope and awfulness, just like the best Batman comics do. It won't exactly leave you feeling good, but then again, it's not supposed to. It's not a happy, feel-good movie. It's a dark, intelligent, story about three men pushed to the edge of sanity by another man who's already gone over.
Today's article is brought to us by the lovely and talented Miss Victoria Whitby, better known to the internet as Mystie, who rules over the magical realm of Crown Combo with a firm but benevolent hand. Mystie is a Berks County, Pennsylvania native, international lady of mystery, world renown raconteur, New York Times bestselling author of Sex, Leather, Candy and Pain: The Unauthorized Biography Of Funshine Bear, and inventor of the award winning Mystaphalon non-stick cookware. In her spare time she enjoys reading, quiet nude walks on non-nude beaches, and Action Figure Makeovers™, where she takes boys’ toys and girly-izes them with pink nail polish and glitter. Today's victim: The Thing.
Instead of waiting until I've seen the movie, I've decided to pre-review it so that you can come to The Sci-Fi Guys and get generic reviews that tell you nothing whatsoever about the film, just like every other "professional" movie reviewer in the world has already written. I'll go back and have an opinion later, once I've actually seen it. You know, 'cause I gots me some integrities all up in this mutha.

Since the DVD comes out tomorrow, I figured I should get off my ass and finally post this review I've been sitting on. I give Cloverfield a 6 out of 10. That's three out of five stars, or a thumbs up on the Siskel & Ebert scale. I know their final score is the one piece of info reviewers usually save for the end of the review, but you need to know up front that Cloverfield is not really a horrible movie, despite the MANY negative things I'm going to say about it. Click the pic to hear the scoop. SPOILERS AHEAD: Consider yourselves warned.
The movie poster for The X-Files sequel has finally been released, and brought to us courtesy of DanM. In light of this, I've decided to gather all the info we have so far and put it into one place, including some brand new, and quite frankly INCREDIBLY disappointing info on the film. Click if the pic to get the skinny.
