Thirteenth Hour is Memento with Time Travel

Now this is an idea for a movie I can get behind: time travel + Christopher Nolan’s “Memento”? Oh hell yeah! Why didn’t anyone think of this before? Well if you did, you’re screwed, because novelist Richard Doetsch is about to sell his novel “The Thirteenth Hour”...

Shatner’s Ego Kept Him out of Trek 11

I’m not what you would call a really big Star Trek fan, or Trekkie. (Or Trekkers, as I know some of them like to be called.) I mean, sure, I watched almost all of the Voyager and Next Generation episodes, but that’s because I just like sci-fi in general, and there wasn’t a whole lot...

Promo Images for Supernatural S04E02: “Are You There God? It’s Me, Dean Winchester”

You gotta love the title for the second episode of Supernatural’s fourth season: “Are You There God? It’s Me, Dean Winchester”. Whoever came up with that title needs a bonus, but I don’t expect anything less from the Supernatural boys. This is one of those shows that just...

Stuff Blows Up Real Good on the Transformers 2 Set

Michael Bay = explosions. Big, big ass explosions. What can you say? That’s just how The Bay likes to roll. Here’s a behind-the-scenes shot of a scene from “Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen” (I’m still not crazy about that title; sounds like a toyline instead of a big-time...

Preview: Sam Raimi’s Legend of the Seeker

This looks interesting: a new fantasy-based TV series called Legend of the Seeker, a new syndicated TV show (that means it won’t be showing up on any one particular network or channel, but will depend on how many stations it can be pre-sold to) from Sam Raimi (the director of the “Spider-man”...

Babylon A.D Reviews: The Worst Sci-fi Movie of All Time?

Here’s a theory: maybe director Mathieu Kassovitz knew his movie sucked (with or without FOX’s interference, as many reviews, even those based on his longer, UNinterfered with cut (which, according to Kassovitz himself, only runs about 15 minutes longer) seems to remark the same thing —...

Ricky Schroder to Let Loose the Hellhounds

I’m a fan of Ricky Schroder. Yup, all the way back from Silver Spoons on up to his tour of duty on the oh-so-adult NYPD Blue. Then Ricky got into directing, and I dug his boxing movie “Black Cloud”. Really, if you’ve never seen it, I recommend giving it a shot. There are some...

Extended Waterworld DVD to Run 177 Minutes

Now you may be asking yourself, “What? Who wants 177 minutes of ‘Waterworld’? The 136 minutes version is more than enough for me, thank you very much!” Well if you said that, then you’re probably not a fan of the movie. Fortunately for both of us, I am. Yes, I liked “Waterworld”....

Voltron Movie Gets a Director

Max Makowski. What? Who? Who the hell is Max Makowski? He’s the guy who is going to be directing the “Voltron” live-action big-screen movie, that’s who. At least, according to the guys over at Latino Review, who have been right on this Voltron stuff all along, so I’m definitely...

He’s Vin Diesel. Don’t Fuck With Him.

Maybe Vin Diesel should have showed this nice little animated video to the director of his “Babylon A.D.” before Mister Frenchie ran out and started telling everyone without earshot not to go see the movie. Could have been effective, who knows. Anyways, this is a nice little video someone...

Jamie Bell Talks Jumper 2

I don’t think there’s any doubt that “Jumper 2″ is coming sooner rather than later. Writer/director Doug Liman has already made it very clear that he wrote the first one with intentions of spinning it off into a trilogy, which may or may not explain why many people complained...

3 Minutes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Animated Series

Although I kind of enjoyed the Buffy the Vampire Slayer spin-off show Angel for a while there, I never really got into the Buffy show itself. I don’t know, it just never really appealed to me. But man, do the show’s fans love it. I mean, these guys are fanatical about the show and its universe....

Kristen Bell has a Thing for Astro Boy

From Heroes to Astro Boy? It would seem to, as news from SuperheroHype is that Kristen Bell (you may know her as Elle Bishop on Heroes, or Veronica Mars on the show, well, Veronica Mars) has landed the leading female role in the movie “Astro Boy”. Well, she’ll be landing her voice,...

Mathieu Kassovitz Savages Babylon A.D.

Well I certainly had high hopes for Vin Diesel’s “Babylon A.D.”, mostly because it’s been a while since we got a good ol fashion post-apocalyptic action adventure. That was before I read this interview with the film’s director, Mathieu Kassovitz, who calls the final cut...

Vin Diesel Talks Chronicles of Riddick 2 and 3

Looking back at Vin Diesel and David Twohy’s 2004 sci-fi epic “The Chronicles of Riddick”, I think most people don’t realize how complex and ambitious the movie was. And maybe that was the problem. It was just so massive, and on such a huge compass, with so many things it wanted...

Shia Labeouf is Not Looking so Hot on the Transformers 2 Set

I know what you’re thinking, “Holy shit, is Michael Bay trying to kill Shia Labeouf or what”? Of course it’s just burnt make-up that is covering the young actor. These shots are from the set of “Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen”, which shows a badly “burned”...

Stargate Atlantis Ends, Stargate Universe Begins

MGM and The Sci Fi Channel have now confirmed that Season 5 of Stargate: Atlantis will indeed be the show’s final season; once the current season ends, the show will move to a series of direct-to-DVD movies, similar to what happened with Stargate: SG1. There will be two Atlantis movies first, and...

Chuck Season 2 Cast Promos

To be honest with you, I don’t know if the NBC show Chuck even qualifies as sci-fi. But I guess the premise of a geek getting America’s government secrets DOWNLOADED into his head is sorta sci-fi. In a way. Right? Anyways, Chuck has finished a successful first season, and will return next...

Stargate Atlantis to End with Season 5

I have to admit, although I have DVR every episode of Stargate: Atlantis starting with this year, I was a little shock to realize that it had been on the air for five years. Now it appears as if the show’s current fifth season will also be its last, with the Sci Fi Channel planning on shutting...

New Batch of Babylon A.D. Images

Vin Diesel’s “Babylon AD” hasn’t been getting a whole lot of publicity in the U.S., even though the film is scheduled to be released into theaters on August 29, 2008. There have been some TV commercials, but you get the feeling the film’s U.S. distributors doesn’t...
