Star Trek as The A-Team
Mashups will soon have their own category at the Oscars. Until then, here's what happens when you get the theme and opening monologue to the original A-Team and cut it with cleverly re-organised footage from Star Trek. For lovers of classic 'show the footage, present the actor' opening credit sequences of the 80's, this is pure gold. Makes you pine for the day when you didn't just have a logo come in and then out of focus as it slowly twists out of screen. Oh well, perhaps all is not 'Lost'. Abraaaaaams! Still,...
Modern Warfare 2 Review
Available on PC, PS3, XBOX 360. The Call of Duty franchise has now clocked over $3 billion dollars worth of sales. The latest instalment, Modern Warfare 2, provides a high tempo, high octane but morally brutal adventure that gives you access to the most modern combat techniques and weapons as you fight all over the world. If you’re feeling in a bloodthirsty mood, then MW2 is high definition glory. The game’s main storyline runs a briskish 8 hours which may not quite be enough time for those...
The Evolution of Storage
No, it's not the history of closets! One thing that constantly amazes both geeks and dorks and jocks alike is the ever increasing capacity of computers. Any TV show, film or book that dares mention the specs of a computer on screen becomes laughably dated only a year after it comes out. So dated, in fact, that it's hard to go back more than a few years to a place where people could pronounce gigawatts as 'jiggerwats' and get away with it. (That would be in 1985's Back to the Future) Now...

First Pics From Dawn Treader
With principal photography just completed in Queensland, the next instalment in the Chronicles of Narnia - The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, is currently beginning its massive CG treatment. It won't be released in Australia until December 9, 2010. The third movie (but fifth book) in CS Lewis's classic anthology that began with The Magician's Nephew (or in the movies, obviously, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe), is often cited as a favourite among fans. The original book features Lucy and...

Star Wars - The Original Synopsis
Everybody knows Star Wars back to front, but there are people who know it even more intimately. The people who endeavour to scour the internet to find the bibs and bobs from the development process, from the original yellow pad outlines, to the several drafts. If you're keen on learning the craft of script writing, and finding out just how much a film can change from its original conception, tracking Star Wars and the many variants of the original 1977 film is a great education. Sites like Drew's...
