What's On This Week July 4 - 10: Movies!

This week, if you're a parent, is going to be tough. With school holidays upon us, life means finding ways to entertain the kids. Kids that are, frankly, tough to please. The answer - movies. Awesome movies. Movies on SCI FI!

Every week day this week, you can tune in to a new movie. And, at a special time.

9:40am, 4:30pm and 9:30pm!

That's right. If it's a bit drizzly outside, and the kids are still hopped up on Cocoa Pops or Fruit Loops (it's the holidays, c'mon!) then you can get them calm, quiet and thrilled with cool movies on SCI FI in the morning. Or, at the PERFECT time of 4:30pm.

If you're busy taking them to the zoo, or the museum (bahahaha!) during the day, you can give them a special 'stay up late' treat by letting them watch some of the most entertaining films ever made at 9:30pm.

Or of course, if they're terribly good little children, they're already in bed and you can treat yourself to the secret ice cream stash and some quality time with your favourite movies, and an understanding and quiet friend.



Great Scott! What a great lineup of movies!

War of the Planets (1966) was an Italian made SciFi (it had several titles) starring Franco Nero and one of four made by the same production company including Wild Wild Planet. It was remade in 1977. They were very cheap derivative scifis, at best 'c' grade. Effects were mainly miniatures (they did it far better in Thunderbirds) and I guess because they were not English speaking, the dubbing to English was at time comical. I've seen a couple of them. They are fun matinee fare for a laugh, but pretty ordinary if you take them seriously.

well this 1966 movie is pianeta errante war between the planets different movie

quote is "a surprisingly ugly looking film with a naïve plot to match" war of the planets is 1977 and involves aliens this one is asteroid. Both sound like they should rest in peace

You're referring there to the earlier Franco Nero War of the Planets (1966) using its Italian title
