The Invasion Review - Sci Fi's Definitive Analysis
Starring Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig Director Oliver Hirschbiegel Rated M Released Feb 28 Ah, The Bodysnatchers. It's a classic idea that has perforated us since first appearing in Jack Finney's serialised book in 1954, and later as the novel, The Bodysnatchers, in 1956. It first appeared on film as Don Siegel's 1956 film, Invasion of The Bodysnatchers, was remade with tremendous success in 1978 by Phillip Kaufman, less successfully in 1993 by Abel Ferrara, and now the tale has been told...
Iron Man Trailer!
Yeeeeeeeeeeah! The Iron Man trailer! If you haven't seen this rockin sockin, glib and ever so cynical approach to the superhero genre, well you're livin' in the past, maaan. Robert Downey Jr looks to have won the first round of a year-long battle that will see Iron Man, Batman, The Incredible Hulk and Hellboy all go toe to toe with Indiana Jones. We'll find out if Tony Stark (a.k.a Iron Man) has what it takes, May 1, in Oz theatres. May the best superhero (and/or demon) win! Fingers crossed the...
The Lawnmower Man
Available on DVD Director Brett Leonard Starring Pierce Brosnan, Jeff Fahey Released Feb 15 Rated M Famously said to be based on Stephen King's story, The Lawnmower Man is in actual fact NOT based on Stephen King's story (the only thing vaguely similar is a lawnmower in the plot and the title). King actually sued the film makers, who lost twice to him in court. As a result the trailer no longer has 'from the imagination of Stephen King' in it's voice-over. The film's story owes more...
Jabba The Hutt's Dream Desk
We may not live in a perfect world, far from it, to be honest, but there are people out there doing their level best to bring reality up to the high standard set by Science Fiction. Awesome. That's the word we're looking for. The good people at Tom Spina Designs, a company that supplies custom-made sculpture, furniture and movie props in the US, has come up with the ultimate desk for fans of Carbonite. They made it as a special one-off for Mark Hall, musician with Casting Crowns,...
Bourne 4 Confirmed!
You heard it here first! A Universal exec has stated that both Paul Greengrass and Matt Damon are confirmed to have signed on for the next Bourne movie, as yet untitled. Despite Damon's previous protestations about 'being done' with Jason Bourne, the final moments of The Bourne Ultimatum left the possibility for a follow up film, now the fourth in the hugely successful action series. The Bourne Ultimatum walked off with three Oscars last night, although its success came after the deals with...
What's On This Week Feb 25 - Mar 2
This week sees even more changes (is that possible?) to SCI FI, with a whole new line-up on Monday night. SCI FI is now a river to its people - constantly ebbing and flowing to the whim of its viewers.

Seriously, the most discerning of SCI FI Fans will be most delighted. More details to come... In the meantime, Monday...
What Jj Abrams Did Next
Rumours have not so much been confirmed about JJ Abrams' next project, but solidified. The man behind Cloverfield, Lost, Alias, Mission:Impossible 3 and the upcoming Star Trek motion picture is turning back to TV - in a big way. And, oddly enough, in a familiar way. It's not a remake of the X-Files, so to speak, but an update. If you love the X-Files (c'mon, of course you do!) then get ready for the Abrams spin. Casting is currently being finalised, and scriptwriting can now begin in earnest...
Saturn Awards 2007 Nominees Announced - The Full List
With the Oscars looking very similar to your parents' house the day before they came back from holidays after leaving you in charge for two weeks and promising NOT to have any wild parties, the good old Saturn Awards have been chugging along without the fuss and bother that comes with having to get Jon Stewart to host your show. Celebrating all that is Sci Fi (and genre) on the big screen and the small screen (and at home) over the past year, the Saturn Awards have become, after more than 30...
Enterprise Triple Treat On Sunday Nights
If ever a show would benefit from 'three in a row', it's Star Trek: Enterprise. Starting from this Sunday night, Enterprise will be screened in order in three episode blocks, taking you through the entire saga. Get to learn the character of the crew at the same time as they become acquainted with the reality of strange new worlds as they boldly go where no ex-Quantum Leap actor has gone before. Certainly one of the more underrated shows, and criminally destroyed by programming on FTA, this...
