Stargate Universe Recap 1.08: Time

Despite the inconsistent beginning to Stargate Universe, I’m beginning to think, after last nights planetary bombardment of wicked called “Time”, that we may really have a Sci-Fi show that wants to be something good. “Time” had some of the classic elements of a really memorable...

Pandorum (2009) Movie Review

Christian Alvart’s “Pandorum” is a creature feature horror film set in space. In that respect, the movie doesn’t really depend on its sci-fi elements in the least, and its premise could have been easily transplanted to any isolated location that requires a large group of people to be locked away...

The Fourth Kind (2009) Movie Review

It’s been written that cannibals refuse to eat divorced women because they are too bitter. They’d be wise to adopt the same attitude towards anyone who sat through “The Fourth Kind”, it’s hard to feel anything else when exiting this failed experiment in scifi cinema verite....

Stargate Universe Recap 1.07: Earth

On Earth, life is even more complicated for the crew and passengers of the Destiny than their uncertain existence on the ship. That’s the lesson for this week. Man eating dust devils, no water or air and sun surfing, those are easy. It’s relationships that are hard. I can understand this....

Roswell, Texas – Saddle up Boys!

Well, there it is, Roswell, Texas - the book I have coveted for the past two years but somehow just never got around to reading. Now I know why, because this multi layered volume of ‘twisted Texas tawdriness’ pretty much soaked up every insomniac moment I had and then some....

Stargate Universe Recap 1.06: Water

As I have been dutifully preparing to write this weeks episode recap of SGU, I’ve been wracking my brain trying to think of a particular moment or event in the story to launch from. Did anything really happen at all in “Water”? I don’t think so. The episode didn’t exactly...

TV Review: Caprica – Pilot

“If one does what God does enough times, one will become as God is.” – Hannibal Lecktor, Manhunter Fans, just like any other collective, are a fickle bunch.

Stargate Universe Recap 1.05: Light

Amidst the early episode cheese, boobs and startup fumbling in “Stargate Universe”, I detected faint traces of fascinating Sci-Fi possibilities. In the 5th episode of SGU, I think we finally have what we’ve been waiting for. I’ve never watched Stargate before as a television series,...

Timecrimes (2007) Movie Review

“Timecrimes” (original title: “Los cronocrímenes”) is a small, low budget sci-fi film from Spain about a crazy hour in the life of an accidental time traveler. The movie doesn’t break any new ground when it comes to the subject of time travel, but there’s just enough humor and complexity...

Doug TenNapel’s ‘Gear’ – missed shifts and some fishy philosophy.

Gear. What can I say? Sometimes things are a hit sometimes a miss. Doug TenNapel is a talented a guy and he’s built up quite a fine stable of works but I’m not sure I would count Gear as one of his masterpieces. Don’t get me wrong, I liked the book and yes, before you email me and...
