Rise of the Planet of the Apes Review: Hail Caesar!
Starring Andy Serkis, James Franco, John Lithgow, David Hewlett, Frieda Pinto Director Rupert Wyatt Released Aug 4 Before you read this review - one thing. Are you considering seeing the film? If so, please don't read this review. It doesn't have any spoilers, but it is rather enthusiastic about the film. If you want to be as enjoyably surprised as I was - please, just go see the film. If you're willing to risk it, read on. It's hard to explain how much fun watching Rise of...

The Week in Geek Issue # 67
Greetings dear readers, This week finds the writer in much the same state as last week. We’d say we’re surprised, but let’s be honest – my immune system goes to pieces so fast people get hit by the shrapnel. Now, we know that last weekend saw the San Diego Comic Con and we’ll be covering that a bit later. We’ll begin with the news that wasn’t from Comic Con. First off, there’s something I never thought would happen: Harrison Ford was reunited with Chewbacca. Just watch it, you’ll thank...
Captain America: The First Avenger Reviewed - A Cheeseburger With The Lot!
Starring Chris Evans, Hugo Weaving, Toby Jones Director Joe Johnston Rated M Release July 28 Did someone order a cheeseburger with the lot? Some people take their comic books very seriously. The lore, the history, the rules - they are, for some, as gospel. For others, the very name ‘comic book’ evokes the idea of cardboard characterisations, melodrama and shonky plot devices, a literary world where the standards for storytelling are lower, more geared for the juvenile mind. So...
Babylon 5 Is Not Dead
Babylon 5 is not dead? Really? Who says? J. Michael Straczynski, that's who. The man himself (if you're not a Bab5 fan, then you'll be forgiven for not knowing he's the creator of the show and that he wrote 90% of all the five seasons worth of episodes) was at San Diego Comic Con this year to chat about this and that, (he worked on Underworld: Awakening, Thor and World War Z) and, inevitably, the question of more Babylon 5 came up. The really weird thing is that instead of knocking that...
Iron Man & Wolverine Coming to SCI FI in August!

Marvel and Japanese Anime powerhouse Madhouse have joined forces, and the first two epic TV adventures are on the way to Australia. If you’re a fan of superheroes, if you’re a fan of anime, or if you’re just a fan of ‘stuff that is cool’ you owe it to yourself to check it out. It all starts this August, on Saturday...
Heroes of Might and Magic Celebrates 25 Years
When computer games start celebrating two and a half decades of existence, you know two things. 1) If you played it when you are a kid, you are OLD. 2) The future is so now. Technology that split the brains of our fathers is part of our history. Had Steve Jobs focused on jet packs and/or hover cars, we'd all realise just how in the future we really are living. So - Heroes of Might and Magic. Some of you just went 'aww, those were the days' and others went 'hunh?'. Twenty Five years...
The Knights of Badassdom Stars Peter Dinklage
It's hard to ignore the ever expanding world of LARPing, especially when it's constantly being used in feature films. An unexpected storyline of the edgy comedy 'Role Models', it now comes to the fore in what looks to be a whole mess of fun in 'The Knights of Badassdom', either the silliest or most awesome movie title there ever was, depending on your point of view. Releasing an epic trailer at San Diego Comic-Con, The Knights of Badassdom features an all-star cast, including Summer Glau, of...
