Okay, this now officially Science Fiction Romance Movie Week
here at The Galaxy Express!
On Sunday, I blogged about Jac Shaeffer's TiMER: A Sci-Fi Romance Film With An Identity Crisis. This is one of the few SFRs directed by a woman. I had mixed reactions to the film, but am glad I saw it.
Charlee of Smart Girls Love SciFi & Paranormal Romance compared the 1990 film version of TOTAL RECALL with its 2012 remake starring Colin Ferrell. She notes that "Furthermore, I’m a romance junkie these days and the romance is much
better told in the new version."
At Spacefreighters Lounge, Laurie A. Green blogged about how much she enjoyed OBLIVION (2013). (The post includes very mild spoilers,
but beware major spoilers in the comment section.) Laurie reports that "This high budget, well advertised flick is, indeed, a Science Fiction
Romance of epic scale. And with only the kind of mind-bending finale
that a SFR can deliver."
Speaking of OBLIVION, I was invited to join SF Signal's 4/24 Mind Meld, which is about the 2013 SF films participants are looking forward to seeing. I'll be discussing a few SFR films, but oddly enough, the one 2013 film I'm looking forward to the most has nothing to do with science fiction or romance (I have a good reason, I swear!)
Joyfully yours,
Heather
