Comic-Con ‘09: Astroboy and Battlestar Galactica Panels

There were three significant sci-fi themed panels at Comic-Con on Thursday: Astroboy, Battlestar Galactica, and James Cameron’s Avatar. Alas, despite waiting three hours in line for “Avatar”, I only managed to catch the final 5 minutes or so of the panel, just enough to hear Cameron...

Green Lantern: First Flight (2009) Movie Review

It hasn’t been easy finding a decent D.C. Comics live-action movie without the words “Bat” or “Knight” in the title nowadays. Luckily for fans of the veteran publishing house, the company has found other ways to bring their famous characters to life – direct-to-DVD animation....

The next big fantasy franchise? Well the makers behind “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” certainly hope so, and this teaser trailer for the Chris Columbus film sure has hints of that bespectacled British kid’s first jaunt to that magical castle Hogs-or-something-or-rather. It’s...

New District 9 Trailer Reveals the Conflict, Plot

The only thing we’ve seen of the Peter Jackson-produced “District 9″ so far has been trying to sell us the viral side of the movie. It’s all very clever and cute, but it’s about time we saw some real plot from this movie, and this latest trailer does just that. I just hope...

TV Review: Warehouse 13 Pilot

I must admit, I’ve been anxiously awaiting Warehouse 13 from the SyFy Channel. (Yes, the name change is now official. Let’s just get used to it, shall we?) Not because I think the show is going to break the mold, but because, well, it seems like ages since we’ve had a sci-fi show on TV, and Summer...

Pandorum Trailer Number Three Is Sci-Fi Horror Fantastic

I just watched the new “Pandorum” trailer straight out of bed this morning. No more need for coffee for me. “Pandorum” stars Ben Foster, Dennis Quaid and Cam Gigandet and tells a scary tale indeed. Two Crewman wake up aboard a starship where many thousands of other passengers...

Pity The Human Minority In Daybreakers

There was recently a study published by a couple of bored researchers that claimed Vampires could not exist because if they did, they would have munched through and slurped dry the entire human population by now. That’s fascinating science. These propellerheads fail to take into account the obvious...

Seven Clips from Paul Giamatti’s Cold Souls

How could you go wrong with a movie starring Paul Giamatti? The guy is a great actor. Put him in a quirky movie involving souls, storage, and Hollywood, and you got yourself a pretty good kooky little movie that should stay around for years. Think of it as “Being John Malkovich” but with...

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009) Movie Review

Here’s something about “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” that you may have already guessed from the trailers: when you give Michael Bay $200 million dollars and tell him to go make a movie, Bay makes a movie that costs $200 million, and every cent of it can be seen on the big screen. As such,...

James Cameron Finally Lets Avatar Out Of The Bag

Avatar is coming. We’ll see it in theatres in December in glorious digital 3d. The director of “Avatar”, James Cameron, has been slow to release footage or even pictures from the movie. While we are kept in the Sci-Fi darkness, our geeky imagination builds more hype than if he released...

Sci-Fi Trailer: Roland Emmerich’s 2012

No one destroys the planet like Hollywood. Oh sure, other countries may dabble in disaster and end-of-the-world movies, but let’s face it, when it comes to orchestrating global, planet-ending mayhem, no one does it better than the tech wizards of Hollywood. Which is why Roland Emmerich’s...

12 Minutes of Ron Moore’s Virtuality

Can’t get enough of Ron Moore’s Virtuality? You’re in luck. Here are a series of clips from the 2-hour pilot episode, starting with that faux reality TV show opening we posted earlier. As you can probably tell from the clips, this looks like classic Ron Moore — lots of sci-fi...

Wolverine’s Taylor Kitsch and Lynn Collins to Star in John Carter of Mars

Looks like Disney has landed their John Carter and his love interest, Dejah Thoris, and they both happen to have just co-starred in this summer’s “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” together. Though the two never shared a scene in the entire movie, or indeed knew of each other’s existence,...

Preview: Warehouse 13 Promos and Synopsis

Yeah, yeah, I know the Sci Fi Channel’s latest show Warehouse 13 isn’t going to break the bank of creativity, and it’s certainly not going to be as deep or gritty or “real” as Battlestar Galactica. But you know what? I don’t want it to be. There’s plenty of room...
