Robots! Despite cinema telling us over and over that once we build them, they’ll become our mechanized overlords, hell-bent on wiping out humanity — we can’t shake them. It’d still be really cool to have them around to do the dishes, our homework, vacuum, and pay our bills now and again. Right? Our fascination with robots have long been a subject of film, and here at ScreenCrave, we’ve decided to put together a list of our 10 favorite machines. From murderously insane cyborgs, to robotic friends, to well…more murderously insane cyborgs, it’s a grouping of our favorite humanoid creatures.
Note to nitpickers: Before you complain about certain absences, please note that Hal 9000 is a computer, not a robot; Data is primarily a TV show character; and the Transformers…well, those movies are terrible. They won’t be on here.
Check out our list below… (Warning, movie spoilers ahead!)

Well, he’s tinkered again, and on February 10, 2012, we’ll see how well The Phantom Menace stands up to third dimensional scrutiny. Here’s the trailer, check it out…

Wow. Despite the fact that the giant goiter with a man growing out of it (or, as you might know it, George Lucas), continued to meddle with his original vision, tossing in even more cheesy CGI additions and horrible Darth Vadar “NOOOOOOOO!” exclamations, the Star Wars complete saga Blu-Ray set has, within just one week, become the highest selling Blu-Ray of all time.

DVD is on overdrive this week with new feature releases, droves of TV on DVD and a couple of special editions too big to ignore.
Yes, Star Wars is here on Blu-Ray, so rev up your comments engines for an assault on George Lucas filled with more vitriol than Jabba had for Han. Yes, even the DVD picks column isn’t safe from the Lucas-hating Trolls!

Wow. It seems that George Lucas, once the cinematic wizard who gave our childhood dreams shape and form through the whiz-bang popcorn entertainment of the original Star Wars and Indiana Jones trilogies, continues to morph into the flabby-necked monstrosity hell-bent on turning those once-cherished dreams into nightmare drudgery. I’m talking, of course, about how Lucas has, once again, reedited and revised his classic Star Wars trilogy, this time for the Blu-Ray premiere of the franchise.

Remember back to about a million years ago (ok, maybe it was four years), when George Lucas decided he was going to take a break from ruining his original films with constant updates and make a Star Wars TV show that would bridge the gap between the original trilogy and the dreaded prequels? Well, after taking a break to utterly and brutally destroy everything that was great about Indiana Jones, Lucas has quietly amassed fifty hours of scripted episodes for the new series.

We love “Robot Chicken!” The stop motion animated series always delivers clever pop culture commentary and does some of the best parodies this side of The Cartoon Network. Like “Family Guy,” they’re known for their amazing Star Wars homages and on Sunday night the latest installment in their parody series aired, aptly titled, “Robot Chicken: Star Wars: Episode III.” There were so many awesome moments to choose from, but our favorite had to be that damn escalator scene. Check it out…
