The summer movie season. A time of year filled with action, adventure, sequels, big Hollywood stars, big Hollywood explosions, big Hollywood egos and, apparently, TV-related films. In recent times I don't think there have been so many television-related films on the big screen at one time as there will be this summer. We've already seen the release of Speed Racer, the Sex in the City movie comes out next week, and the Steve Carell-starring remake of Get Smart premieres in June.
The last TV-related project to appear this summer will be the long-awaited return of The X-Files to the big screen. Premiering July 25th, the movie, subtitled I Want to Believe, will be directed by series creator Chris Carter and reunite FBI Agents Mulder and Scully in another adventure featuring mysteries not of this world. And, that's all we, the viewing public, know about the film since the plot is being kept hush-hush. Even the official movie trailer, which you will see after the jump, doesn't really tell the fans much about what the film will be about. Heck, it barely features the two main characters of the series.
For some, like Entertainment Weekly's Michael Slezak, knowing very little about the movie's plot is okay as it keeps the anticipation level high for the fans. For others, the lack of information is confusing and angering them at the same time. After you review the trailer let us know if you fall into Michael's camp or the camp of the confused.

Can you hear the eerie music becoming louder and louder? That's the sound of the
X-Files movie being one step closer to being released on the big screens this summer (more than likely on July 25)! Being an
X-Files and a spoilers fan, I jumped up and down a few times while humming the show's theme this morning when I stumbled on a
SCI FI Wire article that offered just what I was looking for: spoilers about the upcoming
X-Files movie!

(
S01E11) While many of the episodes so far in season one have dealt with typical things like ghosts and aliens, Chris Carter really gets his freak on with Eve. He knows there's nothing creepier than twin girls.
The episode opens with joggers finding an 8-year-old girl outside her house without a coat on. She tells them her daddy needed some time and they find him in the backyard, sitting on the swingset. He's dead. With two holes in his neck.

Do not adjust your web browser. You are now entering the Retro Squad, where we are reviewing past episodes of your favorite shows, in order, every week.(S01E01) As I watched this episode, I realized that, even though I call myself an
X-Files fan, I did not watch the series when it first aired on FOX in 1993. In fact, I can't quite pinpoint when I became a die-hard fan or what the first episode was that I watched. I'm pretty sure I was hooked by one of those Monster-of-the-Week episodes and not part of the overall aliens-on-earth conspiracy storyline. I think I was hooked sometime during season three. All I know is my husband and I caught up on
The X-Files early on in our college years when reruns played back-to-back each night (possibly on F/X?).
