If you've seen or casually changed the channels by one of Syfy's disaster movies of the week, you've probably seen Jason Bourque's work - if not his name. The director has etched himself a solid career making TV disaster movies (Seattle Superstorm, Doomsday Prophecy, Stonados) but Black Fly is a completely different beast; a movie that doesn't rely on either ridiculous plots or equally ridiculous special effects to entertain but rather on performances to make it stand out.
Matthew MacCaull and Dakota Daulby star as brothers Noel and Jake Henson. A tragedy years before separated what was left of the family and while Noel has been living at home, keeping the family abode intact, Jake has been living with an aunt and her abuse husband out in the city.

Remember how many disaster flicks there were back in 2012 due to that whole Mayan thing? Well, one of them, Seattle Superstorm, is hitting VOD and DVD on August 27, 2013, and we have its new official trailer right here.
The film, which aired on Syfy in March of 2012, was directed by Jason Bourque and written by David Ray and Jeff Renfroe.
Synopsis:
A suspicious object is shot down over the waters of the Pacific Northwest, causing strong turbulence and ominous clouds that turn violently into a massive storm. As the heavy rains and hurricane-force winds wreak havoc in the city of Seattle, Major Emma Peterson (Ona Grauer; "V," "Stargate Universe") is handed the task of identifying the threat and securing the city, while trying to keep her own kids safe.
As the weather turns even more deadly, she and her fiancé, scientist Tom Reynolds (Esai Morales; "Caprica," "24"), must work together to rescue...

Esai Morales stars in Seattle Superstorm, which airs tonight at 9 pm on Syfy. Sci Fi Talk has a Q&A with him and his cast mates:
What’s it like for you these days to step into a movie like this, like a fun movie, as compared to the seriousness of a world like Caprica?
Esai Morales: Yes, well you know I enjoyed my time with the folks at Syfy and I felt I was safe enough there. So yes, it’s a different animal. I mean Caprica was, one episode was probably more than the budget of this whole piece. Again, I don’t know, but it’s just a different scale. So what you have to do is you play with your imagination. You literally have fun. I mean for me the fact that Caprica isn’t there anymore and the fact that I have a young child,...

Syfy sent out the following press release officially announcing the April premieres of Alien Tornado and Space Twister:
Alien Tornado, premiering Saturday, April 14 at 9Pm (Et/Pt), stars Jeff Fahey (Machete) and Kari Wuhrer (Sliders). In the movie aliens attack Earth, using deadly electrical tornadoes as weapons.

Just a few updates to end the week.
Blood and Chrome trailer was shown at the BSG panel at WonderCon this weekend. Hero Complex has a report from the panel with Kevin Grazier. Here is a description of the trailer (no, it's not available anywhere yet):
At the end of his talk, Grazier screened a trailer for the upcoming “Battlestar Galactica: Blood and Chrome,” a two-hour television film which is set in the 10th year of the First Cylon War. Edited at rapid-cutting pace to Trent Reznor and Karen O’s cover of “Immigrant Song” for “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” – which was actually quite fitting with images of ice-covered planets and (space)ships – the trailer ended with title cards flashing the words “It’s time for a SyFy game-changer.”Still no official word on what Blood and Chrome is (a TV film or a pilot) even though...
