by John J. O'Neill (Thu 07-12-2001)
When it was released back in 1994, the surprise hit STARGATE came out of nowhere and struck a chord with audiences everywhere.

by Tim Janson, Columnist (Wed 01-30-2008)
Earth Vs. The Flying Saucers is pure 1950’s B movie fare. The plot and acting are campy, the budget is minuscule, and it’s filled with 50’s sci-fi clichés, but the film had one thing going for it, and that was the stop-motion... THE MATRIX on Disc
