Interstellar movie review

Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar has been nominated for five Academy Awards, so the studio is bringing the blockbuster sci-fi story back to theaters for one last IMAX screening ahead of Sunday’s big award ceremony.

Paramount Pictures announced the one-day showing of An Encore of Interstellar: The IMAX Experience this week, and promised the February 21 screening at AMC Theaters would feature more than 12 minutes of additional behind-the-scenes footage from production. The screenings are being held at select IMAX theaters at 3pm local time Saturday, and certain theaters will offer an additional free ticket to anyone who buys a ticket at the box office, instead of purchasing it online.

From Barbarella to Howard the Duck: the 7 cheesiest sci-fi movies ever

The science-fiction genre has a vast smorgasbord of cheesy films stretching way back to the early days of cinema. Such pictures are known for their weird stories, unrealistic dialogue, low-budget productions, and exaggerated acting.

While many of these films have been panned by critics and audiences alike, some of them have garnered success for being "so bad, they're good." Whether or not they have been held up by a dedicated fan base, these seven movies stand out as the cream of the cheesy sci-fi crop.

10 best Batman stories ever, ranked

Batman Year One cover

Bounding from rooftop to rooftop, the Dark Knight never misses his mark. He operates like a well-oiled machine tracking bad guys, beating them to a bloody pulp, and throwing them in the slammer - or Arkham Asylum should they be anyone of Gotham's notable supervillains. As the brainchild of Bob Kane and Bill Finger, an artist and writer duo, Batman has been pounding the pavement of Gotham ever since his debut in Detective Comics in 1939. He's undergone a number of changes since his original conception ultimately becoming the brooding powerhouse we know today.

Most understand the basic tenants of Batman these days. His parents were murdered before his young eyes leading him down this path of personal vindication and pursuit of justice. Batman, in most iterations, never resorts to killing -- the one crime that separates his outlaw vigilante operations from the real criminals. Of course, it wasn't always that way. In Batman's earliest days, he had no qualms about ending the lives of baddies on the streets. Even now, some stories and films like Tim Burton's gothic take on the character depict him looking on with cold and uncaring glares as criminals meet their end. Regardless, Batman is mostly a well-established hero simply seeking justice and there are countless stories of the Caped Crusader. Let's take a look at the best among them.
