Title: Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014) Director: Michael Bay Runtime: 165 minutes — Let’s get this right out of the way: if you haven’t liked any of the Transformers films from Michael Bay, you are not going to like this one either.

Title: Earth to Echo (2014) Director: Dave Green Runtime: 91 minutes — In 1982, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial was released upon the world and it captured an entire generation of moviegoers.

Just like that the sci-fi/horror theme of week one is history. It was an interesting week, even garnering some fun controversy over what exactly is considered sci-fi/horror – zombie movies are a tough cookie to classify – but all in all, definitely a positive first week for #CSSC3.
