What’s On This Week June 1 – 7
“Are you the keymaster?” Does your fridge, on occasion, say, in a deep, rich baritone… “ZOOOOOL!” No? Well you don’t require the services of the Ghostbusters. But Ellen Ripley does (well, it’s Sigourney Weaver… but you know, we love the idea that Ellen’s come back to earth, joined a symphony orchestra and can’t deal with a pesky fridge demon. Of course, as it turns out, it’s not just any demon, but Gozer, the DESTRUCTOR! Who knew? Of course, it’s hard to believe, but Dr Peter...
Pushing Daisies Blu-ray Review
Pushing Daisies: The Complete 1st Season on BD and DVD Starring Lee Pace, Anna Friel, Chi McBride, Swoozie Kurtz Rated M Out now The local BD release of Pushing Daisies doesn't have a lot in the extras department. But that's okay. The show is good enough by itself. What it does have in the extras are some nice second servings of pie. Pie? What's that got to do with a show that seems to be about death? Ah. Soon you will know. Because soon you must watch. That is of course if...
Best Star Wars Roller Derby Poster, Ever
Look, you may not be anywhere near Indianapolis tomorrow night, but that doesn't mean you can't share in the joy of one of the most brilliant juxtapositions of entertainment forms, ever. It seems such a shame - because we'll miss out on the Naptown Tornado Sirens and the Warning Belles (awesome name!) duking it out with The Fort Wayne Derby Girls Bomb Squad. Still, that doesn't mean we can't share in the brilliance of this poster and wish them luck, especially when members of the 501st will be...
Transforminators!
In the hype-wars leading up to the release of Transformers and Terminator Salvation, it's easy to get a little confused. Robots. Attacking. Gritty Action. Sweaty people. Thus a clever mashinator has come up with a brilliant mix of the two films' trailrs and with the added bonus - a great Christian Bale impression. As he might say, 'oh goood for you!" The result - hilarity. Enjoy! Terminator Salvation is out in Oz June 4, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is out June 24.
Aussie Sci Fi - The Road
Cormac McCarthy sounds like a writer from the 1930's who specialises in Westerns. This is not the case. He is a modern author, (well, modern in the sense that his first major novel was published in 1965) a 'modern' Pulitzer Prize-winning author, who has, over the last few years, become one of Hollywood's darlings, with book after book after book being turned into film. The last one, you probably know this already, was No Country For Old Men, which was made into a film by the Coen Brothers, and gave...

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost Do Aliens
Variety has reported that Simon Pegg and Nick Frost's new film has done the casting rounds and is all set to go with the help of Working Title. Called 'Paul', the sci fi comedy looks to repeat the formula of Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead, simultaneously celebrating and lampooning a genre. Given the success of these earlier comedies, the buzz is huge. Unfortunately, Edgar Wright won't be behind the camera. Instead it will be Greg Mottola directing. This comes as no surprise, given the decidedly...
Flight of the Navigator Flies Back
Walt Disney Studios has announced that it's remaking the 1986 sci-fi movie classic. Flight of the Navigator, with Brad Copeland writing the script, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The remake is being produced by Mandeville partners David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman, who have put out films like Beverly Hills Chihuahua. The original movie told the story of a 12-year-old boy who is abducted by an alien spacecraft in 1978 and reappears eight years later, still the same age and with no memory...
Cover Your Eyes Kids, It's Modern Warfare 2!
If you're a fan of Call of Duty 4, then you are just about ready to spray mid-afternoon coffee all over you computer screen. The new worldwide trailer for Modern Warfare 2 has been released and it looks decidedly good, to put it mildly. Try not to make little yelps of excitement - it may unnerve your co-workers. Here it is in all its HD glory. The action is back in modern times, after taking a detour with Call of Duty 4's setting of World War II (and if you made it all the way through - a...
GIve your home that SCI FI touch
In a world where merchandising stretches into every room of the house, it's easy to get carried away with the likes of Star Wars sheet sets, Star Trek light switch covers and walls crammed full of the posters from your favourite shows and movies, not to mention the hard-to-find collectibles, like C-3PO soap-on-a-roap, or Battlestar Galactica mess hall chairs. We've found something a little bit less garish, a little less in your face, but just as much Sci Fi, at one of our favourite sites, io9.com. Every...
