movie review

Reviewing the best science fiction movies from the past, present, and future.

The Brain from Planet Arous
This movie rocks. It is so bad, it should be in detention, along with the Not Man and a pile of old Anthrax vinyls. It has John Agar playing a guy who gets possessed by a floating brain on a fishing line that’s superimposed over the action, which is slam-bang and includes demonically (or extraterrestrially) possessed doggies and attempted rape. And guys get murdered too—by being radiated to death, where they just lay around looking like some old stiff covered in Halloween store silly putty because some horny mother from "Planet Arous" has to take over the world or something. Some guys got all the luck, hold all the cards, and still decide they need more. What can I say? It's human (and floating monster movie brain) nature.

From Moradabad to Apple’s Global Stage: Sabih Khan Becomes the New COO of Apple
Apple’s new Chief Operating Officer (COO) Sabih Khan—an Indian-origin executive originally from Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh—has been appointed to oversee iPhone manufacturing, especially in India. After over 30 years at Apple, he succeeds Jeff Williams in a strategic move by CEO Tim Cook. This milestone highlights Apple’s commitment to continuing iPhone production in India amid global trade pressures and ambitions of sustainable growth. Born in Moradabad in 1966, Khan later lived in Singapore and then moved to the U.S. for higher education, earning degrees in mechanical engineering and economics from Tufts University and a master’s from RPI. He joined Apple in 1995 and climbed the ranks—from procurement to Senior Vice President of Operations—playing crucial roles in green manufacturing, logistics, and global supply chain management. Tim Cook praised him as “a brilliant strategist” and trusted his leadership to shape Apple’s future. Apple expects India’s share in its global iPhone production to grow significantly under his leadership.

The War of the Gargantuas
Not subtle or intellectual, but undeniably Lovecraftian—dark brother versus brother take on Giant Frankenstein, as provided by Toho Studios circa 1966. Russ "Dr. Jacoby" Tamblyn, of "Twin Peaks" fame (among others), stars as Dr. Paul Stewart, who runs around Tokyo with his lovely assistant Akemi, played by Kumi Mizuno, trying to save the life of the baby Frankenstein (but here that name implies a giant, somewhat flat-headed kaiju freakazoid with furry or mossy skin and a nose that looks as if it was hacked in half. Think a harelip somewhere central to the rest of the facial features.)

Hell, the Shaman, and The Planet of the Apes
Time bends. Space is... boundless. It squashes a man's ego. I feel lonely. That's about it. Tell me, though, does man, that marvel of the universe, that glorious paradox who sent me to the stars, still make war against his brother... keep his neighbor's children starving? — Planet of the Apes (1968)
