    Jonathan Frakes - Still Number One

    Jonathan Frakes - Still Number One

    For Star Trek fans, Jonathan Frakes needs no introduction. As the dashing Commander William T. Riker on Star Trek: The Next Generation, he is still 'Number One' to legions of fans all over the world. Appearing in all 178 episodes of TNG, he is also one of the very few actors to appear in all three other spinoffs from the original Star Trek, Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Enterprise. He is also an accomplished director, helming numerous episodes in the world of Star Trek before branching out into...

    The Day The Earth Stood Still Blu-ray Review

    The Day The Earth Stood Still Blu-ray Review

    Starring Keanu Reeves, Jennifer Connelly, John Cleese, Jaden Smith, Jon Hamm Director Scott Derrickson Rated M Released April 29 For Sci Fi fans, the film's general tone, pace and content immediately place it into the 'smart Sci Fi' category. 'Figure it out for yourself, I don't need explosions, I don't need aliens to act like humans' sort of fans respond to this kind of Sci Fi. Annoyingly, there is also another stream of Sci Fi running through the movie - the 'did you get that?...

    Brand New Harry Potter Trailer Is Awesome

    Brand New Harry Potter Trailer Is Awesome

    The new Harry Potter film's release date has been slipping and sliding all over the place like a particularly energetic snitch, but it seems more than likely we'll be seeing the sixth film in the Harry Potter Experience on the 15th of July. The trailer points to the usual 'Harry in trouble' theme which yet again raises the question as to the safety and validity of sending children to boarding school. Looks like Draco Malfoy will be picking up where his dad left off and will be trying to help...

That me be the case for most of the cakes on display, but for Gaters, this is where Cakes GO RIGHT! Here are a couple of...

    X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE REVIEW

    X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE REVIEW

    Starring Hugh Jackman, Liev Schrieber, Danny Huston, Ryan Reynolds Director Gavin Hood Rated M Released April 29 A film like Hugh Jackman's hair - fluffy on top, wirey on the bottom. The first spin off from the X-Men trilogy proves dark in content but light in tone and execution. It's hard to take a movie based on a comic book seriously. It's one of The Dark Knight's most annoying legacies, that we do have to go into a world filled with people who have blades growing out of their knuckles...

    Knowing: Top Ten Sci Fis With Religion

    The Top Ten Sci Fi Movies and Shows with Religious Influences prefaced by a Sci Fi look at Knowing! Knowing - Starring Nicolas Cage, Rose Byrne Director Alex Proyas Rated M Knowing is one of those films that seems to be splitting audiences and critics right down the middle - or to be fair, splitting critics from audiences, right down the middle. Except for a few notable exceptions, (including Roger Ebert) most critics have enjoyed the first half, have been sometimes impressed by its disaster...

    Let The Right One In - On Now In Sydney

    Let The Right One In - On Now In Sydney

    Tomas Alfredson's now legendary cult classic vampire movie is now playing at the Palace Academy Twin in Sydney. We've been tracking this film ever since it played at the Sydney Film Festival a few years ago, and it's been an agonising journey for it to come to Australia, popping up here and there for special nights or seasons around the country. It is by far and away one of the most interesting vampire movies made in decades, joining the icy world of Sweden in the 80's with the fragile world...
