What's On This Week Feb 1 - Feb 7
This week sees the Season 2 finale of Eureka! Make sure you don't miss it, on Thursday at 7.30pm. SCI FI's great lineup of shows continues, leading up to the big return next week of Sanctuary, on Thursday Feb 11, in a huuuuuge double episode. Here's the pick of the bunch for this week's SCI FI viewing: KINGDOM HOSPITAL Thursday at 8.30pm Kingdom Hospital is the very latest in modern health technology, inhabited by (sometimes) hard-working doctors, misfits, weirdos, unlucky...
iPad = iPoo?
The internet has spoken, and it's not as impressed as it wanted to be with the latest release from Apple - the iPad. The general consensus - it's an overgrown iPhone. Like the iPhone, it doesn't have a full-blown, Flash-enabled browser, which means that your internet experience isn't going to be as good as when you use a laptop - it's going to be a bit iPhoney. The 'killer app' for the iPad, is of course, the use of the printed word. It's a direct competitor for Amazon's Kindle, and...
Sony BraviaVPLVW85 Projector: Dunderhead Review
The VPLVW85 is the top of the home theatre line for Sony projectors, and we thought it necessary and prudent that we have a look at it personally so that you, dear reader, could find out just what it's like for normal people to use it, as opposed to the hard bitten video gadget reviewers who know about things like 'grayscale' and 'gamma'. If you're with it enough to know all about that stuff, this review won't be too much use, except of course, for a laugh. Okay, so, first thing we do is open...
Happy Australia Day - From Mad Max
When it comes to Sci Fi, Australia herself seems to breed/introduce people who enjoy watching it far more than they can make it. That said, there's a long tradition of filmmakers in Australia with the desire to make Sci Fi - and one day, when the reticence of Australian film funding bodies and the excellence and imagination of home-grown talent reaches its tipping point, we will see a flood of original, dynamic Sci Fi movies that will rock the world with their Australian-ness. Consider, if you...
A Year of Stargate Memorabilia Auctions Starts... Now!
Okay okay okay - if being able to get hold of your very own piece of BSG wasn't enough, get ready to prance about in geeky joy. Stargate is going on sale! Not surprisingly, Sci Fi specialty auction house Propworx is behind this Sci Fi auction again. Up for sale - goodies from the sets of Stargate: SG1 and Stargate Atlantis. Once a week, every week, for the next year, you can check out Propworx's ebay site and attempt to outbid rabid Gaters as you seek to find that little piece of Sci Fi...
It's Official - Avatar Biggest Movie of All Time
Reuters has just announced that Avatar has overtaken Titanic as the biggest box office taker worldwide and in the US. It may or may not have an impact on the upcoming Oscars, where Cameron looks a decent bet to take out the top nod of Best Picture (having clinched best pic and the directing awards at The Golden Globes). It's weird that Cameron is beating himself as the all-time box office champ. I guess he's now no longer King of the World, but King of The Universe. Or perhaps... Emperor. It's...
Battlestar Galactica Auction Finishing Today!
Heads up BSG fans! An Auction featuring over 400 great items from Battlestar Galactica and “The Plan” will be ending today, Monday the 25th of January (Sydney time). Auctions are set to end every minute or so for the next 400 minutes, which means you still have a chance to get hold of an iconic prop or piece of clothing if you really want to. The Auction will be over about nine and a half hours from now (6pm Monday night, Sydney time). There are so many great items up, and lots of great deals...
What's On This Week Jan 25-31

THE BACK TO THE FUTURE TRILOGY CONTINUES! Every Sunday, at midday and 10pm. Sunday, January 31 – BACK TO THE FUTURE II Sunday, February 7 – BACK TO THE FUTURE III If you're feeling rather worried about redbacks on the dunny seat, the occasional funnel web in your moccasins, or some...

Bioshock 2 Looks Good
Bioshock 2 is set to release in Oz on February the 9th. We've been treated to a sneak peek with the game developers from 2K Marin and 2K Australia (based in Canberra, go Aussie!) and we can tell you that if you were a fan of Bioshock, get ready to give birth to an extremely bouncy baby of pure fanboy excitement. Bioshock 2 is looking good. Very good. It's a great response to what you'd expect in a sequel - offering you a similar experience, but building on the success of the original...
