Lost Boys 2: The Tribe Review
Starring Ted Hilgenbrink, Angus Sutherland, Autum Reeser, Corey Haim, Corey Feldman Director PJ Pesce Released Jan 7 Rated R18+ If you're a fan of the original Lost Boys (and let's face it, you are) then news that a sequel, a Direct To Video sequel, was being made would have filled you with both fear and desire. Surely nothing could live up to the original? Surely a cast of relative unknowns and a director more known for DTV sequels does not look good? But it's The Lost Boys. The magic...
What A Year That Was! The Sci Fi of 2008
2008 was definitively the year of the superhero flick, with The Dark Knight and Iron Man redefining what the comic book means to both audiences and Hollywood alike. Now, instead of agents combing through unpublished novels to get ahead of the pack, actors are creating comic books to have a property that they can attach their careers to. But whilst The Dark Knight and Iron Man remain fresh in the mind, it wasn't a year of just two movies. It was a year of surprises, of disappointments, of expectations...
Albin Johnson - The Man Who Leads Earth's Stormtroopers
There comes a time in every Sci Fi Fan's life when they take stock, have a look around at themselves, at Sci Fi, and decide just how far they are willing to go. Sometimes, the result is the purchase of a box set. Other times, a collectible figure or movie prop. And at other times, the choice between fandom and lifestyle becomes no choice at all. The members of the 501st have made that choice - but it's not a selfish one, where they dissolve into their own fantasy. Quite the opposite in fact -...
WHAT'S ON THIS WEEK DEC 29, 2008 to JAN 3, 2009
Welcome to the newest temporal co-ordinates, so far, ever. 2009, and all that. Will it be our most futuristic year, ever? Hovercar manufacturers, you've been put on notice! While we wait for the Earth's manufacturer's of transport to get up to speed with our imaginations, we'll have to keep ourselves entertained. That's where the SCI FI CHANNEL comes in. This week, as you'd expect, there's more programming innovation at 132. We'll be introducing a special line-up of weekday entertainment...
Call of Duty World At War Breezethrough
Platform: Xbox 360, PS3, PC, Wii, Nintendo DS Rated M This is the first person shooter that people who enjoy WW2 simulations must have. In fact, it's almost worth getting an Xbox 360 or PS3 for (espesh now that you can snap one up for close to $300) if you've already got an HDTV. It looks that good. The fifth incarnation of the Call of Duty series, this has simply stunning graphics and a wide variety of gameplay and game missions, although it still conforms to a fairly traditional...
Where's My Jetpack?
With 2009 fast upon us, it seems appropriate to stop and take stock and perhaps look around at the world that we now inhabit. For many older Sci Fi fans, the idea of a date clocking past the 2000 mark meant that the future, so to speak, would have arrived. Iconic films like 2001: A Space Odyssey cemented in the mind the hope that man will live in a world where the coolest gadgets made life easy. And admittedly, we've done pretty well. Shows like Star Trek predicted the mobile phone, Skype...
The Day The Earth Stood Still Review
Starring Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Connelly, John Cleese, Jaden Smith, Jon Hamm Director Scott Derrickson Rated M Released Dec 26 To say that this film is not a dissapointment would be incorrect. To say it's a complete disaster even more of an error. What we have here is the skeleton of a fascinating Sci Fi film that's had some crucial muscle stripped away by an editing committee who were obvisiously keen to sell the movie to someone that the original creative team did not. The result is a...
Blu-Rays of Christmas: Blade Runner The Final Cut
Starring Harrison Ford, Sean Young, Edward James Olmos, Rutger Hauer Director Ridley Scott Rated M Released Dec 3 It's been exactly a year since the definitive 5 disc set came out. If you haven't already got it, or didn't want to shell out the cash for all the extras, then now you can get the one ultimate Blade Runner movie (the final, updated, never to be repeated, we pinky promise version) and the excellent made-for the The Final Cut documentary, Dangerous Days in a two disc Blu-ray...
Blu-Rays of Christmas: The Island
Starring Ewan McGregor, Scarlet Johansson Director Michael Bay Rated M Released Dec 3 One of these days, Michael Bay will be recognised for the comedic genius that he is. For years now his big budget mega-blockbusters have mistakenly been taken for no-talent brainless buckets of vomit thrown at an under-educated audeinces for a quick buck. But that's not the case. The overlong slow motion shots, the bizarre orange skin of his lead actors, the crazy 'are we sure everyone got that?' dialogue...
Come To The The Darker Side, Luke
When it comes to picking up the best pressies for Sci Fi fans this Christmas, some of you may have already bought the geek you love a piece of the moon (literally, see our post), but others may aim for a more down to Earth approach when it comes to yuletide gift giving. May we humbly suggest the Darth Vader toaster? Available from the internationally renowned Star Wars Shop (at Starwarshop.com) for $US54.99, it turns any piece of Jedi bread that comes into contact with it to the Dark Side. No...
