What's On This Week Dec 1 - 7
Happy Birthday SCI FI! (blowing of paper trumpets, throwing of streamers, popping sounds and general cheering and merriment) That's right. On this day, two years ago, SCI FI Channel Australia was born. And of course, the only possible way to celebrate is with style, so we've gone all out - literally, to the edge of your newfangled widescreen TV. From now on, SCI FI transmits in widescreen. And this week, we've got some great new shows that can take full advantage of that. Set your phaser...
X-Files: I Want To Believe BRD/DVD Review
Starring: David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Billy Connolly, Amanda Peet, Xzibit. Director: Chris Carter Released Nov 25 Rated M The release of the much anticipated feature film follow up to Fight the Future brought about a mixed response from critics, and the general consensus being that the film strayed a little too far away from the 'X' in X-Files with a film that was decidedly rational and not brimming with supernaturalness, or even little grey men. That said, those X-Files fans known...
Welcome to Eureka
SCI FI will be coming to the little town of Eureka on December 4, so we thought we'd lay out the welcome mat and introduce y'all to the smartest, secretest town on the whole wide Earth! So, what's Eureka all about? Here's a little info about the show and the characters to get you ready for our big premiere on Thursday December 4 at 8.30pm.

Underworld : Rise of the Lycans Trailer!
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans is the prequel and the third movie in the sexy vampires versus werewolves trilogy. Shot in and around Auckland, NZ, it stars Rhona Mitra as Sonja and Michael Sheen as Lucian. If you've seen the previous two films, Underworld and Underworld: Evolution, starring Kate Beckinsale as Selene, you may be wondering why she's not in this one. The answer is simple - it's a prequel, set several hundred years before the previous films. Rhona Mitra as Sonja. Lethal in so...
Quarantine Film Review
Released Nov 27 Starring Jennifer Carpenter, Greg Germann, Jonathan Schaech, Jay Hernandez Directed by John Erick Dowdle Rated MA15+ There is only one reason, ultimately, why people go to see horror movies. To put them in a place where their pants no longer make any sense. Horror buffs hold out for films that actually scare them, and they wait a long long time before they find one that respects grand horror traditions whilst at the same time bringing something fresh. This is that movie. If...

Live Chat Just Became Even Cooler
Good news, everybody! Our technomages have re-aligned all possible coils and have also re-initialised the power converters to give us all a really cool new feature on our Live Chat, Close Encounters. As you can see in the Navbar, we have a little button next to the word 'CHAT' this is in fact an 'occupied' or 'on' button which glows with a delightful shade of Sci Fi Purple whenever someone is in the Chat Room. When no one is ready for a chat, then it will be at it's rest colour, which is a...

Close Encounters will be filled to the brim with SCI FI fans chatting about what's on right now, and what's going to be on right this December, on Wednesday the 26th, from 8.30pm. We've put the time back to allow people time to have dinner (and even put the kids to bed) so they can then settle in to a night in front of Channel 132 with a warm laptop and perhaps a cool and refreshing beverage. We've got a great line-up to chat about - Jericho is back on the air - and it all kicks off this Wednesday...
Resistance 2 Game Breezethrough
PS3 One of the major titles for the original PS3 rollout was the humans verse ugly mutants first person shooter, Resistance: Fall of Man. Whilst not quite Halo on the PS3, still a very well respected title with great graphics, an intriguing story, good multi-player and pretty frenetic (and often rather scary) gameplay. So what do we get with the sequel? First up, surprisingly, is the leap in graphics quality. The last one was good, this is just nuts. Little touches to gameplay make a large...
