Directed and based on the story by Hasraf Dulull (The Beyond), and written by Austen Atkinson (Alien Races ) and Gary Hall (Pastel), 2036: Origin Unknown (2018) is a cheesy sci-fi film that takes some inspiration from Arthur C. Clark's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). The film starts out in 2030 when Mars 1, a space shuttle for the first manned mission to Mars, explodes and 6 years later space centers all over are still trying to figure out what went wrong. In 2036 the USPC – the new NASA – is run by the Wilson sister, Lena and Mackenzie, alongside ARTI, the new AI system. While Mack and ARTI are using robotic rovers to investigate what happened to Mars 1, they uncover a mysterious black cube on the surface of Mars that could change the future of Earth and the idea of traveling at hyper-light as we know it. What is this cube? What is its purpose? And what does this mean for the people of Earth?

Isn't It Romantic (2019) --- "None Of The Feels, All Of The Cliches."
Hello, Movie Buffs!
Directed by Todd Strauss-Schulson (The Final Girls) and written by Erin Cardillo (Life Sentence), Dana Fox (How to be Single), and Katie Silberman (Hot Pursuit, How to be Single), Isn’t It Romantic (2019) is the latest rom-com that is sure to entertain audiences alike. The film follows Natalie (Rebel Wilson), an Australian architect living a less than magical life in New York. Her lack of confidence and self-esteem has caused her career and daily life to stall, and yet she seems “content” about it. Her best friends Josh (Adam DeVine) and Whitney (Betty Gilpin) try to encourage her to stand up for herself and embrace love but it doesn’t help that Natalie is a skeptic concerning love and is quick to go on a detailed rant about the cons of romantic comedies, which foreshadows the rest of the film. However, after a freak subway accident, Natalie wakes up only to find herself trapped in a PG-13 rom-com world with all the typical clichés and stereotypes. Choosing to play along she changes her wardrobe, brightens her attitude, and hooks up with the seemingly “perfect guy,” all while discovering the merits of believing in oneself. Will she discover that the perfect guy has been with her all along? Or will she simply go back to be the same person? Who is it that she really needs to fall in love with?
