TOP 10 GREATEST STAR TREK VILLAINS
by Michael Henley, Contributing Writer
(May 16, 2013)
Many icons can trace their longevity to the breadth and depth of their rogues gallery, and Star Trek has a pretty great one. As Trek once again plans to expand its collection of villains by one (or perhaps not?), here’s a look back at ten villains who ma
TOP TEN LAMEST STAR TREK ALIENS
by Michael Henley, Contributing Writer
(May 15, 2013)
The Star Trek universe is massive, and over 47 years, much of it has been charted. But for every Klingon, Romulan, or any other species that is a treasure of storytelling, there are the aliens that are…lame. Here are ten Trek aliens that one should skip
TOP TEN PLOT TWISTS IN STAR TREK HISTORY
by Michael Henley, Contributing Writer
(May 14, 2013)
For many of us, Star Trek is our comfort food. We love the dependability of it, the consistency. But every once in a while, there came moments in Star Trek that wowed us. Ones that justified our devotion, our obsession. These are the moments that make Star
TOP TEN ODDEST MOMENTS IN STAR TREK HISTORY
by Michael Henley, Contributing Writer
(May 13, 2013)
Star Trek is awesome. But every once in a while...it makes mistakes. Give a franchise enough time, and it’ll occasionally slip up. Trek is no exception. Here are the ten moments from the final frontier (some of them pretty entertaining anyway) that make
Mania Box Office Report: Iron Man 3, Still on Top
by Robert T. Trate, News Editor
(May 12, 2013)
Why is it that second movie of the summer is always more of a drama or big budget art house flick. Don’t get me wrong, I love films like The Great Gatsby, but why even bother? Alternate programing? Way back when a movie would get sold out and people woul

Shock-O-Rama: Fear is The Key
by Chuck Francisco, Columnist and Critic
(May 01, 2013)
A year ago this weekend I made what's become an annual cult cinema pilgrimage to Philadelphia for Exhumed Films' eX-Fest II. The event is a twelve hour indulgence of all things rare, exploitative, and sleazy in 35mm (a format which regular readers know my
The Summer of '83: The Hunger
by Rob Vaux, Mania Critic
(April 30, 2013)
Vampire movies were always cool, but it took The Hunger to make them modern. Before that, film bloodsuckers tended to ooze around in Rudolph Valentino capes, using their ungodly charisma to compensate for their dated fashion sense. The few exceptions – G

Mania Box Office Report: Iron Man 3 - World Numbers
by Robert T. Trate, News Editor
(April 28, 2013)
Maniacs, Pain and Gain won the weekend. Last week’s big Sci-Fi film, Oblivion, fell to the second spot. Pain and Gain taking the number one spot is great for Michael Bay. That news is insignificant compared to Iron Man 3. That’s right Maniacs, Iron Man
Shock-O-Rama: The Night of a Thousand Cats
by Chuck Francisco, Columnist and Critic
(April 24, 2013)
The Night of Thousand Cats is an experience. Not unlike the freakish weather we've been experiencing over the last few years, this film requires that a number of things align in it's favor for optimum impact. Working best when viewed with a group of exploi

Shock-O-Rama: The Godfather Squad
by Chuck Francisco, Columnist and Comic Geek
(April 17, 2013)
Whenever I want to watch a Kung-Fu film, the first thing that I need to decide is exactly what flavor I'm in the mood for. Wushu epic or inventive Jackie Chan fun fest? Golden Harvest classic or something more modern staring Jet Li.
Mania Box Office Report: 42 Now and Forever
by Robert T. Trate, News Editor
(April 15, 2013)
With baseball returning to the stadiums across the country it should come as no surprise that 42 won the box office. It could be that or the fact that Scary Movie V no longer has an audience. The box office numbers below though show that Scary Movie V in t
The Summer of '83: The Evil Dead
by Rob Vaux, Mania Critic
(April 15, 2013)
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the summer of 1983, and while it can’t help to match the summer of ’82 for the sheer staggering number of classics… well, you guys really dug our film-by-film coverage last year, and we’d love to follow it up

Shock-O-Rama: Demons
by Chuck Francisco, Columnist and Critic
(April 10, 2013)
Nothing cramps the style of unchaperoned teens like Satan. I would figure he'd leave them to their sinful indulgences, then settle up accounts after time had it's way with them. But the Devil isn't a patient creature and he's also not content to simply pil
Mania Box Office Report: Hail to the Dead Baby!
by Robert T. Trate, News Editor
(April 08, 2013)
The Evil Dead took home the box office this weekend and the dinosaurs still ruled their island. I was wondering if a remake of film a film released 32 year ago would have any steam at the box office. On that note, what about one released 20 years ago? I th
In Memoriam: Roger Ebert
by Rob Vaux, Writer
(April 04, 2013)
I remember the first time I tuned into Sneak Previews, the PBS movie show featuring a pair of Chicago critics named Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert. Like of a lot of movie fans, I found the show a revelation: snarky, witty and fun, but also filled with passion

Mania Box Office Report: Yo Joe!
by Robert T. Trate , News Editor
(April 01, 2013)
Was it nostalgia or was it that we have all forgotten by Stephen Sommers original film? Perhaps we just love the idea of G.I.Joe that much, that we are willing to fork over our money? No I got it. It was the Tatum! Channing Tatum brought out the ladies. Wh
