    All Creatures Great And Small - Except Humans!

    All Creatures Great And Small - Except Humans!

    The Hollywood Reporter has just announced the latest project from Hollywood's latest 'dynamic duo' Michael Brandt and Derek Haas, the writers of this month's upcoming bulletfest, Wanted, as well as 3:10 to Yuma. They're riding their success into the Sci Fi realm with a new project entitled, 'All Creatures Great and Small' - and, whilst you're probably thinking, James Herriot, finally on the big screen! We'll have to put your hopes for big screen adventures of kindly veterinarians to rest....

    The Dark Knight Is More Than Just A Comic Book Movie

    The Dark Knight Is More Than Just A Comic Book Movie

    The upcoming Batman film, The Dark Knight, may have already have won 2008's 'war of the superhero/comic book blockbusters' without firing a shot. And that's even with Wanted's suprisingly excellent reviews and Hancock's crowd-pleasing take on the genre. And WALL-E's wall to wall positive reviews and G-powered box-office in its first week of release. The first industry preview of The Dark Knight in Los Angeles - and the word on the street is - 'something special'. Garth Franklin, editor of...

    Hancock Review

    Hancock Review

    Released July 3 Starring Will Smith, Charlize Theron, Jason Bateman Director Peter Berg Rated M Do not drink whiskey whilst sitting on my toilet! If you don't have a thorough and familiar knowledge of Greek mythology, you may consider Hancock as nothing more than a wham bam popcorn movie about a superhero who's lost his self-respect. If you do however, then you'll be pleasantly surprised - because underneath the throwaway humour and dry cynicsim, the collateral damage and high octane...

    What's On This Week June 30 - July 6

    What's On This Week June 30 - July 6

    This week sees the old and the new and the new old and the old new, which is pretty cool, (and slightly bizarre) but what you'd expect, from SCI FI. Once again our gentle viewers must endure the onslaught of the weird and wonderful world of SCI FI originals, as they continue their delightful dance across our screens. This week continues with Boo, screening on Tuesday night at 10.30pm and Wednesday at 1pm. Boo has a great premise - a patient is trying to escape a mental institution - but he's...

    A Movie Called Zombie Strippers Exists - And It's Coming To Sydney!

    A Movie Called Zombie Strippers Exists - And It's Coming To Sydney!

    We live in a world where anything is possible. Bearded men will soon be taking us into orbit. We can drink cola that is both caffeine and sugar free. Women have shiny lips, and men have hair that looks like a rooster's comb. But nowhere in the world is anything more possible than in the world of filmed entertainment. If you can think it, it can be. And somewhere, someone has thought of putting together 'strippers' and 'zombies' - although of course, sex workers and the undead have often gone...

    More Clone Wars Pics!

    After previously posting some cool pics from the upcoming Clone Wars, we thought we'd add to the joy and post some more. For those who don't have their ear to the ground re: everything Star Wars, The Clone Wars will be released theatrically in Oz in August, and will be a CG animated adventure set during, wait for it, the Clone Wars, so, in the Star Wars mythology, in between the second and third films of the prequel trilogy. Creator George Lucas has sited Gerry Anderson and The Thunderbirds...

    All New Hancock Clips Live In Spectrum!

    All New Hancock Clips Live In Spectrum!

    In what looks to be the surprise blockbuster of the year, Hancock provides quality superhero action with a twist. That the super strong can also be the super drunk. And the super smelly. The film combines wry humour and large scale property damage in a pleasing manner - and seems to have really piqued the public's interest. The phenomenal response in our Forum and in SPECTRUM has meant that we've had to bow to overwhelming demand and put up some completely awesome behind the scenes interviews...

    The Golden Age : Classics Of Sci Fi (part 5) Starship Troopers

    The Golden Age : Classics Of Sci Fi (part 5) Starship Troopers

    STARSHIP TROOPERS (1959) By Robert Heinlein In many ways, Robert Heinlein is an enigma. Along with Isaac Asimov and Arthur C Clarke, he is considered a founding father of modern science fiction, a triumvirate of both intellect and talent that has shaped the way people read and think about Science Fiction. His works span the full gamut of political and social viewpoints, and he is possibly the only Science Fiction author to have two novels win the Hugo award that stand on either end of the socio-political...
