PLANETFALL

One of those great rarities, the science fiction / western hybrid, comes roaring out of Heretic with PLANETFALL, a movie as good as it is rare.  PLANETFALL is simple enough at its roots--basically, a handful of factions are after the last known stockpile of Psylenol, a drug that gives people psychic powers.  Enough of this drug--which there just happens to be in the stockpile--could give one of these factions control over half a galaxy.  We've got bounty hunters, like the machine cultist Lux and her erstwhile partner Shark; we've got more hunters like the fallen-from-grace Wendy and wanted criminal Gorton "Ugly" Hex, and just for kicks, we've got a rogue unit of telepaths led by the psychotic Lieutenent Jerik.  There will be obvious and worthwhile comparisons. 

THE AMAZING SCREW-ON HEAD

History gets badly fractured in THE AMAZING SCREW-ON HEAD, from the same guy who brought you "Hellboy", Mike Mignola.  Somehow, President Abraham "Honest Abe" Lincoln has a special agent he can call on when the Forces of Evil rear their collectively ugly head, Special Agent Screw-On Head.  Who is, not surprisingly, a robot.  With a screw-on head.  And in this case, Screw-On Head has been dispatched to stop the fiendish Emperor Zombie and his cohorts--werewolves, tommy-gun-toting monkeys, the elderly, and the queen of the vampires.  They're out to conquer the world through the occultic powers of a melon-sized jewel.
