38th Saturn Awards Announced - Best SF&F of 2011
Is it Award Season Already? Saturn Loves Apes, AEAF Gives Gold to Prometheus It’s months away until Hollywood’s award season goes into hyperdrive but the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films likes to celebrate all things genre a little early. The winners for 2011 have been announced, with two movies coming out on top. At the 38th Annual Saturn Awards, Rise Planet of the Apes and Super 8 received three awards apiece. Rise of the Planet of the Apes was named Best Science...RoboCop Reboot Goes Viral with Launch of Omnicorp Website
The RoboCop reboot has gone viral with the launch of website for Omnicorp, the corporation who created the cop that cannot die (because he's already dead). The site proudly claims that Omnicorp has got the future under control and that its products will protect our cities and create a better tomorrow. What could possibly go wrong? Count me out for the ED 209 testing program, is all I'm saying. But that's the old RoboCop. Maybe this time - it's different. Corporate videos wouldn't lie - would...Fantastic Planet Film Festival 2012 Begins March 22

It's that very special time of the year. February 14, the day the Mass Effect 3 Demo becomes available. And Valentine's Day! Will you do something romantic, and a little bit geeky? Pour some Romulan Ale, maybe a dash of synthehol if you're driving. Set the holodeck to 'Paris' or 'Riisa', or look out the back of the moisture farm and contemplate the suns set. A fine dish of spoo, a cool blue milk, or, if it's a first date, nothing beets 'ga'ak' as an ice-breaker. Whatever you do,...Space Nazis Make Their Official Attack On The Internet
“You VILL like zis moofie!” Tis the season of trailers. We’ve been throwing a lot at you of late. All big-budget, Studio extravaganzas that the world has been salivating to see. But this new little beauty is just such a breath of fresh air we want to share it, too. It’s the new official trailer for Iron Sky. Yes, the Finnish/German/Australia coproduction Space Nazi movie that we’ve been tracking for the past few years is almost upon us, and we’re very excited to report that it’s starting...I've Never Seen Stargate Atlantis
You may have heard that Stargate: Atlantis is rebooting from the pilot tomorrow, Wednesday the 14th of September. The entire series was also recently released on Blu-ray. For most Sci Fi fans, you've experienced Stargate: Atlantis at some time or another. SG-1 fans tend to dig it, and some go completely nuts for it. Others, well, they can take it or leave it. This post is for people who have no idea about SGA. What's it all about? Is it any good? Will I like it? Of course, the easiest way...Win Free Tickets To Meet Stargate Stars in Perth & Adelaide!

Starring Jason Momoa, Stephen Lang, Ron Perlman, Rose McGowan, Rachel Nichols Director Marcus Nispel Release Aug 18 Rated MA 15+ From the moment Morgan Freeman's dulcet tones begin narrating the introduction to Conan The Barbarian, you know this film is not messing around. The approach is deadly serious, with a few nods to the original, and a few winks to the audience, but there is no lighthearted 'Hercules' feel here. Conan the Barbarian is a savage sword and sorcery epic that is heavy...Joseph Mallozzi Reveals More About 'Stargate: Extinction'
Joseph Mallozzi, one of the Executive Producers on Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe, continues to write on his blog each day, keeping Stargate fans in touch with 'the good old days' and also talking about his upcoming work on 'The Transporter' TV series. As creator of 'Stargate: Extinction', (with writing partner and fellow Executive Producer Paul Mullie) the unfilmed script for a Stargate Atlantis movie, he has in-depth knowledge of one of the holy grails of Stargate fans - to see the...Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 Trailer: Phenomenal
It just be rainin' trailers today. If you think Harry Potter is a dweeb and anyone who uses the word 'wizard' should be tied up in a sack and dropped into a cold, dark river, we STILL think you will find this trailer to be awesome. Even if it wasn't the culmination of a decade's worth of adventure, where an audience literally grew up with the three main characters, this is a sorcery epic that stars Michael Gambon, Ralph Fiennes, Emma Thompson, Gary Oldman, Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman,...
