The plot for Sin City 2 comes from the stories A Dame To Kill For, Just Another Saturday Night, and a new one Frank Miller wrote called The Long, Bad Night, which apparently centers on Alba’s character Nancy Callahan who will be the connection between the two films.
The movie is set to be released on October 4th, 2013.

Movie to See
Star Trek Into Darkness
The Star Trek reboot continues May 17th with a J.J. Abrams directed take on a story that looks suspiciously like Wrath of Khan. British sensation Benedict Cumberbatch as the villain John Harrison. But is it Khan or Mitchell?
Can't wait either way!

Scifi of the Day
The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)
Released just a few years after the atomic bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki shocked the world, this was a rare anti-war movie at a time when the Cold War was quickly dividing the world’s nations. Full of innovative design, an alien who actually speaks an alien tongue instead of English, and a complicated message about geopolitics, The Day the Earth Stood Still was a movie that pushed its audience to think of themselves as humans rather than Americans.

Looper (2012)
Rian Johnson’s gritty movie about gangsters who use time travel to commit perfect assassinations is both an incredible science fiction story and an unflinching look at how difficult it is to break cycles of violence — in families as well as societies. The final twist will leave you feeling broken inside. And you’ll like it.

“As new species are formed through natural evolution, others will become rarer and rarer, and finally extinct. The forms which stand in closest competition with those undergoing modification and improvement will naturally suffer most.”

Scifi of the Day
John Carpenter’s The Thing. The Thing is a terrific horror movie, one of Carpenter’s best, and if you haven’t seen it, it’s well worth a look. In Carpenter’s film (which is a remake of the ‘51 classic, The Thing From Another World; both movies take their inspiration from the John W. Campbell short story “Who Goes There?”), a group of men in a remote Antarctic research station face off against an alien which can mimic their forms exactly. This leads to a lot of paranoia, infighting, and a growing sense of horror at the implications of the threat. If they don’t defeat this creature now, if it makes it out of Antarctica and to more populated area, the human race is doomed. There will be no way to prevent it from absorbing every human being on the planet, at which point it can move on to devouring all remaining life at its leisure.

2001 (1968)
It’s no exaggeration to say that Stanley Kubrick’s film, written by Arthur C. Clarke, changed science fiction movies forever. From its advertising-saturated future world and insane artificial intelligence HAL, to its near-mythological aliens who seem to have uplifted humans by reprogramming our distant ancestors, the ideas in 2001 blew the minds of an entire generation of movie-goers. Like Metropolis, it also set the agenda for a lot of science fiction that came afterwards, popularizing stories of A.I.s that fall prey to madness and space opera that was political as well as entertaining.

The Matrix (1999)
Like Ghost in the Shell, The Matrix offers us a world where machines have as many emotions and mystical questions as humans do. After the Machines have conquered humanity and turned us into batteries to fuel their cities, a group of revolutionaries unplug from the mind-controlling Matrix and lead a human resistance. Cyber-shamanism and frenetic, gorgeous action intermingle to create one of the most brain-bending popular SF movies in recent history.

All You Need Is Kill
Release Date: March 7, 2014
What is it: Less than a year after Oblivion will succeed or fail, another Tom Cruise-starring sci-fi film will hit theaters, although this one sounds different in just about every way possible. Think of it as Groundhog Day meets Robert Heinlein: in a future war, a soldier dies in battle but finds himself caught in a time loop, forced to reliving his dying minutes over and over again, surviving longer and becoming a better warrior every time.

Blade Runner (1982)
Influenced stylistically by Alphaville, Blade Runner is about a detective who chases down “replicants,” or genetically engineered superhumans, who have gone rogue. Based very loosely on the work of Philip K. Dick, it was the first mainstream example of the cyberpunk style that took 1980s and 90s science fiction by storm. It’s also a profoundly moving film about remaining human in a world where everything — including humanity itself — is owned by corporations.

Synopsis:
Synopsis:
Marvel Studios’ Iron Man 3 pits brash-but-brilliant industrialist Tony Stark/Iron Man against an enemy whose reach knows no bounds. When Stark finds his personal world destroyed at his enemy’s hands, he embarks on a harrowing quest to find those responsible. This journey, at every turn, will test his mettle. With his back against the wall, Stark is left to survive by his own devices, relying on his ingenuity and instincts to protect those closest to him. As he fights his way back, Stark discovers the answer to the question that has secretly haunted him: does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?
Book to Movie
Shakespeare’s classic comedy is given a contemporary spin in Joss Whedon’s film, “Much Ado About Nothing”. Shot in just 12 days (and using the original text), the story of sparring lovers Beatrice and Benedick offers a dark, sexy and occasionally absurd view of the intricate game that is love.
Writer, director, and producer Joss Whedon hits the big screen again with this inventive, modern-day version of one of William Shakespeare’s most beloved plays. Claudio (Fran Kranz) and Benedick (Alexis Denisof ) have just returned home to Messina after a successful campaign abroad. When earnest Claudio announces his adoration for the lovely Hero (Jillian Morgese), daughter of Messina’s governor Leonato (Clark Gregg), the acid-tongued Benedick teases him mercilessly. Benedick’s scorn for love is matched by that of his long-time nemesis and verbal sparring partner Beatrice (Amy Acker), Leonato’s niece. As the lovestruck Claudio and Hero make plans to marry, Benedick and Beatrice resume the “merry war” of insults they have long waged. Yet there are many who believe that for all their antagonism – or even because of it – this pair of incessantly sniping cynics is surely meant to be a couple. As matchmaking schemes are put into play and disguises are donned, loathing and love soon prove to be close cousins.

Pacific Rim
In the film, legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, start rising from the sea and begin a war that would takes millions of lives and consumes humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes-a washed up former pilot (Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Kikuchi)-who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
Pacific Rim stars Charlie Hunnam, Rinko Kikuchi, Idris Elba, Ron Perlman, and Charlie Day. It will be released 2D and 3D on July 12th, 2013. The first trailer for the movie will be released next month so stay tuned for that epic greatness!

Oblivion
Release Date: April 19, 2013
What is it: That’s an excellent question. For a big-budget sci-fi action movie due to arrive in theaters in about five months, we know surprisingly little about Oblivion. We know that Tom Cruise stars as a soldier sent to help wipe out an alien race on a distant planet, but has second thoughts (shades of Avatar). We also know that he’ll be joined by Morgan Freeman and Nikolaj “Jaime Lannister” Coster-Waldau. With director Joseph Kosinski.
