Speed Racer Pics And Trailer
Go Speed Racer! The Wachowski Brothers are back, and rumour has it, are back better than ever. Speed Racer is a remake of the classic Japanese anime (before it was called anime) that some of our older SF fans may remember growing up with early on Saturday mornings (or occasionally as part of the after school double with Marine Boy). Brrrrrmmmm! What makes this cartoon to live action transition so unique is that it's actually still a cartoon - all the crazy over the top acting,...

Heroes Competition Ends Soon!
Attention Heroes fans, both old and new! SCI FI is abuzz as the signed and framed and emininently wantable and haveable Heroes poster sits on its altar, quietly radiating coolness and a strange powerful pulsing sound a la the Ark of the Covenant. Unfortunately for those of us unable to bend the laws of time and space-u, we cannot teleport back to this week if we don't enter the competition before midnight on April 6. So give yourself a chance to hold, touch, own and display a substantial piece...
The Gabriel Story : On The Edge Of Heaven
AN INTERVIEW WITH DIRECTOR SHANE ABBESS AND ACTOR ANDY WHITFIELD FROM GABRIEL "We don't make genre movies in Australia". Really? When Shane Abbess managed to cobble together $90,000, he knew he didn't quite have the cash to make his dream of making an action packed fantasy film in Australia. But he kept on going, and with the extraordinary help of cast, crew, friends and small-time investors, he finally created the impossible. Now he is in Los Angeles, making the final rounds of US publicity...
The Golden Age : Classics Of Sci Fi (part 3) Foundation
FOUNDATION By Isaac Asimov When discussing the Golden Age of Science Fiction, there are three authors that you must always include - the recently deceased Arthur C. Clarke, Robert Heinlein and Isaac Asimov. When you think of Science Fiction, it owes something to these three. When Science Fiction is broken up into its various sub-genres, and across it's spectrum, from 'Hard' to 'Fantasy', one begins as 'scientist as author', the pipe-chomping bearded type with glasses who writes about what would...

The Incredible Hulk Trailer
Edward Norton as the Incredible Hulk? Yeah, why not? Following in the footsteps of even less likely super hero Michael Keaton as Batman, Mr Norton is set to thrill audiences as the green and angry Dr Bruce Banner.

Nerdiest Nerd Girl Ever Proves Her Nerdiness (and Sexiness)
Wow. On days when we have time to reflect (and search the internet thoroughly, rather than just 'skimming' for four or five hours each night after work) it's great to actually find something of value, something that enriches us all and in our heart of hearts, let's us know we're on the right path.
