Now the British summer has made a belated reappearance, we can expect a few downsides such as hay fever, sunburn and insect bites - but no flying pests in our gardens can rival Dragon Wasps. And a can of the standard repellent probably won't do much good either.
This giant creature feature is written by Mark Atkins. His previous genre outings include numerous hit-inspired 'mockbusters' such as Snakes on a Train, 30,000 Leagues Under The Sea, War of the Worlds 2, Allan Quartermain and the Temple of Skulls, Princess of Mars (an alternative version of John Carter), Battle of Los Angeles and Avh: Alien vs Hunter.
He's also been involved in several dragon-themed productions including Dragonquest, Merlin and the War of the Dragons, and Dragon Crusaders.
Now offering an insect slant on the concept, the cast of Dragon Wasps features Corin Nemec (Stargate Sg-1, Smallville, Supernatural), Dominika Juillet (Dark Angel), Benjamin Easterday...

Los Angeles has not seen this much action from aliens since Predator 2 and the beginning of the influx of "coyote" vehicles from Mexico. To keep the close encounters coming (at a reasonable price) Skyline starring Eric Balfour, Scottie Thompson, Brittany Daniel, Crystal Reed, Neil Hopkins, David Zayas and Donald Faison, finally comes home to Blu-ray and DVD this week.
We accidentally jumped the gun last week by talking up the release of Battle of Los Angeles. The Nia Peeples vehicle moves from SyFy channel to your home this week too, while the actual Battle: Los Angeles is still in the theaters.
The last title of note this week is also an alien invasion flick but from 30 years ago that is being released in glorious Blu-ray. Luckily these aliens had bigger ambitions than La.

It's a very mixed bag this week for horror title releases. We're not sure how Dread-worthy the supernatural drama Hereafter (directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Matt Damon, Bryce Dallas Howard and Jay Mohr) is but have included it because of its afterlife aspects.
On the list you'll also find a couple of schlocky monster movies, one a double-feature of classic Gamera entries and the other from the Syfy channel featuring Sharktopus (a sea creature that is both a shark and an octopus) with an over-acting Eric Roberts. In addition Syfy is releasing its mockbuster Battle of Los Angeles to take advantage of the current Aliens-Invading-Los-Angeles craze.
Hereafter
Directed by Clint Eastwood
Starring Matt Damon, Bryce Dallas Howard, Jay Mohr, Cécile de France, Frankie McLaren, George McLaren
George is a blue-collar American with a special connection to the afterlife dating from his childhood. French journalist Marie has a near-death experience that shakes her reality.

Moviescore Media is celebrating the works of composer Chris Ridenhour with three new releases: 2012 Supernova: The Sci-Fi Film Scores of Chris Ridenhour, The Land that Time Forgot: The Fantasy Film Scores of Chris Ridenhour, and Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus: The Monster Film Scores of Chris Ridenhour. All three releases highlight the composer’s work with The Asylum.
From the Press Release:
“I think the first time I saw the now famous scene where a giant shark eats a passenger plane midair in Megashark vs. Giant Octopus,” said Ridenhour, “I knew that film would become part of pop culture, and it has!”
Mega Shark earned a cult following after it aired on SyFy in the Us, and it earned Ridenhour a fan -- Moviescore Media’s founder Mikael Carlsson. Said Carlsson, “As an homage to Decca’s classical genre-orientated Bernard Herrmann albums that presented score selections in suite form,...

No. Battle: Los Angeles will not be airing for free on Syfy 24 hours after it opens in theaters. Don’t be silly. Did you not notice the word “of” between “Battle” and “Los Angeles”? What do you suppose that could mean?
If you answered “a new Asylum mockbuster”, you win the mega no-prize.
Though it's not due on DVD until March 15th (with the Blu-ray coming a week later on March 22nd), Syfy will be premiering The Asylum’s Battle Of Los Angeles on March 12th free of charge just one day after Battle: Los Angeles invades multiplexes. Think anyone confused will tune in thinking they're going to see the big screen film and wonder why they’re watching Kel Mitchell and Nia Peeples battling aliens in SoCal instead of Aaron Eckhart and Michelle Rodriguez?
In February, 1942, Us forces engaged an unidentified flying object above Los Angeles. Now, almost 70 years later,...
