Rock Monster!


Be sure to set your Betamaxes for tonight's all-new Sci-Fi Channel original movie (almost all of which is technically wrong, since the movie is hardly original and even less 'all new,' having been filmed in 2006), 'Rock Monster'! The thriller stars extremely nice young Canuck Chad Collins (who's pushing 30 now and still hasn't really broken out, but who knows? Lots of people are going to see this movie - even more than saw 'Lake Placid 2' - and you never know what might come of that! Stevereads note to all you casting directors out there who worship at our blog: hire Chad! He'll never be late, he'll be off-book faster than anybody else, and he's extremely funny!) as a hapless lad who pulls a sword from a stone ... but this isn't boring old Camelot! Hooo no!

The movie also stars Jon Polito, who's managed to inject an element of winking humor into every performance he's ever given - and this one is no exception! He's the only one you'll be watching who knows he's in a Sci-Fi movie, and that's always good for a chuckle.

So tune in to "Rock Monster" tonight at 9 (Eastern Standard Time, it goes without saying ... geez) with a tub of hot popcorn and a roomful of friends! You'll have a fine time!

A Friendly Reminder!


While we're on the subject of great movies, we here at Stevereads thought we'd give you all a friendly heads-up for the Sci-Fi Channel's original thriller "Ogre" which has its world premiere tonight on that well-respected station (actually, by all accounts it's neither 'original' nor all that much of a 'thriller,' but what can be done? The air is the air). The plot involves a town whose residents (including John Schneider) have been granted immortality - as long as they continue to supply their resident ogre with human sacrifices. You guessed it: cue hapless teen visitors! The bad guys and virtually everybody on their prospective menu (including young veteran Tyler Johnston, who really ought to be thinking about moving on to broader pastures) are all Canadians, so your vicarious gore will be guilt-free! Enjoy!
