Now I am pretty sure that the SyFy Channel originally had a different movie schedule for June 19th, but since I didn’t make a note of it anywhere I can’t tell you want it was. (And I could be wrong.) But originally planned or not, this week we have The Seamstress, a supernatural horror flick with at least a small appearance by the legendary Lance Henriksen. Beyond that I know very little about this film, but it is being premiered on Saturday night on SyFy so how good can it be? So come out and join us on the virtual couch at 7:45 PM CT/8:45 PM ET/5:45 PM PT on Saturday, June 19th, and help us make this film better.

Here is a trailer for The Seamstress

You can interact with me, my co-host, and the rest of the viewers via the ustream.tv chat.

Well this weeks film is Stonehenge Apocalypse. Yes, a film about Stonehenge and a film about an Apocalypse all rolled in to one. How can that go wrong? Well come out Saturday night (6/12/2010), join us on the virtual couch (ustream.tv), and find out.

Well the SyFy Channel and The Asylum are at it again, and because of it Edgar Rice Borroughs is rolling over in his grave. Actually, I hope that he has burst forth as a supernatural force of vengeance with a can of gasoline and a portable flight of stair, but I suspect that the people at The Asylum will get off scott-free yet again. If you are wondering the movie this week is The Asylum‘s version of Edgar Rice Borroughs’ A Princess of Mars called Princess of Mars. A Princess of Mars was the first in Borroughs’ epic planet and sword series staring John Carter and set on Barsoom (Mars). Let us hope that Princess of Mars is not another epic fail from The Asylum like The Land That Time Forgot, Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus, and AVH (Alien vs. Hunter); but in there last adaptation of a Borroughs’ story it was clear that had not bothered to actually read the novel and based on what I have seen so far that is true in this case as well.

If you are wondering why I am spewing so much venom about this film in particular it is because I grew up with Borroughs’ stories and the John Carter stories were among my very favorites. And, of course, The Asylum maybe the worst film company in existence today. For the love off all that is good and right, Tars Tarkas a Thark (green martians) should be a giant with four arms not a short guy in bad mask. And don’t get me started about Antonio Sabata Jr playing John Carter, a Civil War era Virginian, or Tracy Lords playing Deja Thoris, the Princess of Mars.

So come join us on the virtual couch for Princess of Mars on Saturday June 5th at 7:45 PM CT (5:45 PM PT/6:45 PM MT/8:45 PM ET) on ustream.tv. This film is really going to new our help.

We here at Saturday Night in the Snark Cave have decided to the take Memorial Day weekend off. We will be back on June 5th at the normal time for SyFy‘s persentation of the Asylum’s Princess of Mars. (Yes, it is based on the book by Edgar Rice Burroughs). More details on that next week. Enjoy your Memorial Day Weekend.

The SyFy Channel has a long standing tradition of making fantasy (as in sword and sorcery) films that are either pretty good or absolute crap. (Dungeons and Dragons: Wrath of the Dragon God is an example of one of SyFy‘s good fantasy films. Dark Relic and Cyclops are examples of bad ones.) There is rarely anything in between. This week they are premiering another sword and sorcery piece one called Witchville. From the trailers, this one looks like it falls in the later catagory, but we here at Saturday Night in the Snark Cave are eternal optimists. We hope that the film will be better than expected, and we know that with your help we can make this film better. So come join us on the virtual couch for Witchville on Saturday May 22nd at 7:45 PM CT (5:45 PM PT/6:45 PM MT/8:45 PM ET) on ustream.tv, and help us make this film better.

Here is a trailer for Witchville:
