The fine folks over at
Forces of Geek have
allowed me the space and time to ramble on about the history of science
fiction cinema. These bi-weekly columns, will make an attempt, however
feeble, at discussing the history of this often chided cinematic
genre. From its birth to the latest CGI box office hits, I will take a
look at the films that have filled the genre, as well as their literary
influences and TV offshoots. In this episode, my ninth in the series, I
take a look at the year 1954, a year that gave us an iconic creature from an equally iconic lagoon, a cheesy Disney-ized Jules Verne adaptation, and Mr. Big.
