From the Vaults: Masters of the Universe
Masters of the Universe (1987) Director: Gary Goddard Starring: Dolph Lundgren, Frank Langella I guess you could call this film something of a landmark, being the first live action movie based on a cartoon (That I know of), it set a standard for all to follow – sadly it’s a very low one. I’d say Transformers 2 dipped lower, but that’s an argument best saved for another time. I’ve something of a confession to make here as well – I was gutted when denied the chance to see this as a lad, owing...
Brent Spiner, Star Trek TNG's Data, Interview Pt 1
When you think of Star Trek: The Next Generation, it's impossible not to think of Data. He's iconic, even more so, dare we say it, than Jean-Luc Picard. One of the most interesting ironies of modern Sci Fi is that the man who played him has no interest in Sci Fi at all - famously, he has hardly ever seen an episode of ST:TNG. Case in point - he's not sure of the name of the Emmy-nominated 'Best of Both Worlds' two parter. Before you get all huffy, do have a look at this interview. A fascinating...
What's On This Week Feb 28 - Mar 6
This week is most excellent (yes, most non-heinous, because Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey was on Sunday night). We chatted with David Hewlett this weekend at Armageddon, and he's always keen for Sci Fi fans in Australia to get together and watch a special moment in Stargate history - the finale of Stargate Atlantis, this Thursday night. ‘Enemy at the Gate’ is one of the most epic Stargate Atlantis episodes ever, and it’s a fitting end to a swashbuckling five series of Sci Fi adventure. Make sure...
Supanova 2011 Sydney, Perth: Cary Elwes, James Marsters, Morena Baccarin Headlining
Following the recent announcement of the guest line-up for Brisbane and Melbourne events, Supanova Pop Culture Expo has made it a one-two punch by releasing the first names for Sydney and Perth. Surprisingly - it's The Princess Bride’s Cary Elwes that leads the way. Following record-breaking attendance at the 2010 events, Supanova’s Event Director Daniel Zachariou and his team are bracing for a whopper of a year. Supanova brings an array of international pop-culture stars Downunder to...
The Week in Geek Issue #48
Scream for me readers! I CAN’T HEAR YOU! SCREAM FOR ME READERS! No really – you’ll have to if you want me to hear you. My hearing’s pretty shot after Iron Maiden last night. It was a hell of a show (We got The Trooper and 2 Minutes to Midnight!) but I’m paying the price for it the day after. Who’d have thought my lack of exercise would ever come back to haunt me? Right, let’s get to this! The internet has exploded after Nathan Fillion jokingly commented that if he won the lottery the first...
Battle: L.A. - Raging for 69 Years
WIth the much hoped-for coolness of Battle: L.A. fast approaching, it's time to start digging into the truth behind what could be the invasion movie to replace iD4 at the top of the aliens-slaughter-humans tree. The truth? You ask. Yes. The truth. There actually was a 'Battle of Los Angeles' in 1942. On February 25, 1942, a total blackout was ordered across Los Angeles after information centres were inundated with sightings of unknown objects flying off the coast of Santa Monica Bay. ...
Superheroes Need Love Too
As a superhero, life isn't all spandex tights and defeating the forces of evil. With great power, comes great loneliness. If you're looking for that perfect someone in your life, how hard is it to seek out that perfect mate who actually will enjoy weekends away in a hidden fortress somewhere amongst the bitter polar wastelands of the Arctic? Could you put up with the 'mother issues' of someone who saw their parents brutally gunned down in front of them? Sure, it's one thing to love someone...
Rob Zombie In Oz For Q&A Screening of The Devil's Rejects
Rob Zombie is one of the most interesting creative people on the planet, but you probably didn't know it. He owns possibly the largest private collection of horror movies on Earth, and has the original 'stretching' pictures from the original "Haunted Mansion' Disney ride. Well known to most people as the man behind metal band White Zombie, he is more than just a sonic thrasher - he's also a film director with a burgeoning career in subversive horror. His House of a Thousand Corpses, The Devil's...
Dead Island Trailer Is Artistic, Haunting & a Movie!
If you haven't seen the Dead Island trailer, it's a shocking, haunting and effective introduction to the upcoming game (scheduled for later in 2011, on the Xbox, PS3 and PC) from Polish developer Techland and publisher Deep Silver. The response on the internet has been something of a phenomenon - even for the internet. The sad tale of what happens to a family on holiday (told in reverse) has been so successful that Hollywood has come knocking, and now a deal is in the works - only days after...
