    Pandorum Blu-Ray Review

    Pandorum Blu-Ray Review

    Starring Dennis Quaid, Ben Foster, Antje Traue, Cam Gigandet Director Christian Alvart Rated MA 15+ Out Now Pandorum is a bit of a conundrum. This seems to be a perfectly respectable Sci Fi thriller, with a great cast and a great twist, yet it seems to have been sunk into the ether with hardly a blip on the Sci Fi horizon. We say - that is wrong. It's an offence against a great film, and that if you enjoy smart Sci Fi, you should seek this out. The set up is a classic. Ben Foster wakes...

    The Week in Geek Issue #29

    The Week in Geek Issue #29

    Greetings dear readers! The writer has been inordinately cheerful this week, owing to a friend of his announcing a new live action game! Why am I so excited? I’ll explain. See, for some folks live action gaming is about the political machinations, for others acting the role. For me it’s all about the costumes. I’m not much of a clothes horse in real life (My style being gamer geek/heavy metal fan, with just a dash of disposal store chic), but when it comes to LARP, well, that’s a very different...

    What's On This Week Sep 20 - 26

    This week it's time to be thankful for the elongating days of Spring, because if you lived in Alaska, it would be the other way around. Every day would be getting slightly shorter now, until, come winter, there would be no daylight at all. And that's when the vampires come out, feasting willy-nilly for an uninterrupted month. From the classic graphic novel comes a truly twisted, terrifying film, that turns the old vampire movie cliche on its head -- the final moment where people have survived...

    Night Of The Living Trekkies: Greatest Trek Novel ever?

    Night Of The Living Trekkies: Greatest Trek Novel ever?

    Perhaps not. One of the best Sci Fi novel trailers, however, now that's a serious question. We love it when genres, fandom, Sci Fi, horror, reality, fantasy, comedy and geekiness get put into a blender and then get served up in a delicious smoothie of awesomeness. Thus, you can imagine our excitement when we stumbled onto this video pitch for 'Night of The Living Trekkies' by Kevin David Anderson. Not surprisingly, 'Night of the Living Trekkies' is about a group of Trek fans who wind up trapped...
