Check out 8 GOOD films from The Box's Richard Matheson
Wil Smith in I Am Legend, adapted from Richard Matheson's classic novel
The Box has been on the receiving end of some pretty harsh reviews—it's currently at 49% on the Tomatometer. But whatever you do, don't blame Richard Matheson, the horror master who wrote "Button, Button," the short story on which the film was based.
Other directors have managed to make great movies out of Matheson's novels and short stories. Here are some of the highlights.

Is Stargate Universe's Dr. Rush evil or misunderstood?
You've got to wonder if Dr. Nicholas Rush (Robert Carlyle), the single-minded genius on Syfy's SGU: Stargate Universe, is on the right show. Maybe he hopped over from Caprica before anyone noticed and now it's too late. However it happened, Carlyle's character is so morally ambiguous we don't know if we can trust him.
Looking at his deeds just in the six episodes that have aired so far, you really have to wonder: Is he evil? Maybe not evil like Darth Vader or the Master, but evil like Battlestar Galactica's Gaius Baltar or Lost's Ben.
