Gentlemen Broncos in Saturday at the Movies
Gentlemen Broncos is one of those awesome sci-fi movies about science fiction that is simply overlooked. The trial of a young unknown author, the plagiarism of his greatest work, good vs. evil, battle stags and yeast wars; YUP. Struggling sci-fi writers, this is a movie dedicated to you.
Like other Hess films (Napoleon Dynamite, Nacho Libre) Gentlemen Broncos is non-descript, with a weird worn out kitsch character treatment; and this one is really weird – like, weird in a way that will make you afraid to use hand cream.
But if like me, you have ever romanticized the life of a successful writer or struggled to write a story; if you’ve voraciously read yellow TOR paperbacks; if you remain obsessively loyal to the campy origins of sci fi, you’re probably going to love Gentlemen Broncos.

Guest Blogger: Movie Minx on Eddie Murphy and Ben Stiller’s Tower Heist
A caper comedy with an all-star cast… how could I resist a sneak preview of that?! When I saw the trailers a few months ago, I figured Tower Heist would be something worth renting, but not necessarily worth a full movie-theatre ticket price. Having seen it now, I’m glad I got the big screen effect and full audience environment. I always find a packed theatre of people who are into the movie helps to create a more entertaining and engaging experience.
My Favourite Horror Movies: Mat Langford’s favourite scary movie moments.
I love horror movies. As a lot of people have, I started watching them when I probably shouldn’t have been. I would sneak down into the living room when my parents were watching them and watch through the railing, scaring my self like crazy and then running back up to my room, scared out of my mind and having to get myself to sleep with visions of ghouls and ghosts dancing in my head.
There are some scenes that I can remember being the scariest that I have seen, the ones that really stick with you. Here they are in no particular order.
