    Stargate Lego - Grounds for Divorce

    Stargate Lego - Grounds for Divorce

    Whilst all is agog upon all things Battlestar Galactica because of Sci Fi's Season 4 Marathon and brand-spanking new episodes - let's not get too carried away (although fair enough). There are still lots of great Sci Fi shows out there (and airing on SCI FI!). One of which is of course, Stargate SG1. SG1 is the longest continuously running Sci Fi series in history (Ha! Dr Who fans - let the controversy begin!) and has legions of devoted fans - many who will go a long way to celebrate their...

    BSG's Ron Moore to Re-Imagine THE THING!

    BSG's Ron Moore to Re-Imagine THE THING!

    That's right, now listen up, nuggets! The creator of the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica, Ron Moore, has been given the go ahead by Universal Pictures to write the script for a re-imagined version of John Carpenter's classic horror film, The Thing. Which in itself was a remake of Howard Hawk's 1951 original. Which was a film version of legendary Sci Fi writer John Campbell's short story, Who Goes There. The director will be Matthijs Van Heijningen. Who? Why, the Dutch son of a famous Dutch...

    Win Priceless Battlestar Galactica Props!

    Win Priceless Battlestar Galactica Props!

    SCI FI Oz went a-hunting in the recent BSG auctions and came back with something special - actual props from the show, used by the actors, seen on screen. And what are they doing with it? Not handing them out to deserving web people, that's for sure! Oh no. They're giving them away. GIVING THEM AWAY! Just do celebrate the fact that SCI FI has leapfrogged all other stations in Australia to take its rightful place as the premiere home of Battlestar Galactica Season 4. Which is a good thing,...

    Empire Total War Gets March Release

    Empire Total War Gets March Release

    Now scheduled for release for March 2009, the world's most eagerly anticipated Real Time Strategy game is almost upon us. Whilst the shift from a February release date may be unbearable for Total War fans eager to finally mess up the world in Napoleonic times, it's not all bad news. "The extra development time will allow us to finalise and polish Empire, making it the most accomplished and epic of the Total War series." said Kieran Brigden, Studio Communications Manager at The Creative Assembly....

    Underworld: Rise of The Lycans Review

    Underworld: Rise of The Lycans Review

    Starring Rhona Mitra, Michael Sheen, Bill Nighy, Kevin Grevioux, Steven Mackintosh Director Patrick Tatopoulos Rated MA Released Jan 22 Hmm. This is a tricky one. Whilst almost everyone enjoyed Kate Beckinsale in her tight vinyl vampire gear in Underworld and not quite so many enjoyed the sequel, Evolution, the addition of a prequel to the Underworld saga without her may be something of a heads up to those who are aware of the sequel rules - the higher the number, the less of the...

    Lost Season 4 DVD Review

    Lost Season 4 DVD Review

    Producer JJ Abrams Starring Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lilley, Terry O'Quinn Rated M Out Now If you've fallen off the Lost radar (not unlike a certain Oceanic Flight 815) you could be forgiven in thinking that another season's release on DVD is not something to be excited about. Especially with a season curtailed by the writer's strike. But if you did that, you'd be missing out. This odd misshaped stepchild is quite possibly the best Lost Season, ever. If you haven't watched it up...

    Lego Vipers, Raptors and Raiders

    Lego Vipers, Raptors and Raiders

    Awesomeness continues to be awesome. Not only is there a thing in the universe called 'Brickcon', which is the gathering of people who enjoy building Lego models far beyond the 7+ recommendation on the side of the box, but recently the convention has been overwhelmed by Battlestar Galactica fanatics - providing a landscape of 35 Vipers (most, of course the iconic Mark II's) as well as a nice collection of Raptors, Cylon Raiders and brilliantly reconstructed versions of the Battlestar Galactica's...
