Book Review: Four Novels of the 1960s by Philip K. Dick

Written by Ted Gioia
Today, the film rights to a Dick short story can bring in close to $2 million to the author’s estate. But during his lifetime, Dick was so poor he bought horsemeat from a pet shop for dinner.

Review: Cage’s ‘Next’ movie is nuts

02 May 2007 22:21:01 PDT

Written by Dennis Sellers
By Aaron Lee Next, based (though barely) on a Philip K. Dick story (1954’s “The Golden Man”), is a fairly entertaining science fiction thriller until it falls apart at the end. The finale collapse is especially disappointing after a bombastic opening in a casino.

Written by orfilms@gmail.com (slashfilm.com)
I’m predisposed to enjoy stupid sci-fi movies, usually more based on the ideas then the resulting execution. Next is based on Philip K. Dick’s The Golden Man. And as you know, this is not the first time Dick’s stories have been raped for big screen cinema. At least eight of his stories have been c...
