SCI FI PI

This week sees even more changes (is that possible?) to SCI FI, with a whole new line-up on Monday night. SCI FI is now a river to its people - constantly ebbing and flowing to the whim of its viewers. Obviously with Heroes coming up March 20, things are looking good, but we can now confirm that SCI FI will be getting major, top notch Sci Fi shows, never seen before in Oz!

Seriously, the most discerning of SCI FI Fans will be most delighted. More details to come...



In the meantime, Monday night prime-time now looks like this:

7.30pm – V: The Mini Series (classic sci fi that has been a huge fave and brought in a whole new generation of 80-'s addicted sci fi heads)

8.30pm – Angel (Everyone's favourite vampire detective!)

9.30pm – Stargate SG-1, Season 7 (the cream of SG1's battle with the Goa'uld)

10.30pm – Farscape (the Australian made Sci FI show that is still startling in its originality).


Batmania continues this week, with the most famously be-nippled Batman movie of all time, Batman & Robin.

Catch George Clooney and Chris O'Donnell as they team up with Batgirl, Alicia Silverstone, to fight the fiendish Mr Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and the seductively deadly Poison Ivy (Uma Thurman). Batman & Robin is of course the finale in the original four Batman films, marking Joel Schumacher's most spectacular entry into, as he put it - 'toyetic' film-making.

It's less than spectacular success lead to the cancellation of it's successor Batman Triumphant, and audiences had to wait more than ten years to see The Scarecrow make his big screen debut in Christopher Nolan's re-ignition of the Batman saga in Batman Begins.

The film is a riot of overblown sets, acting, costumes and insanely delightful dialogue. Certainly, as the opening rubber-encased butt-montage gets cooking, you know you're in for a, er... ride. The magnificence is palpable for the true devotees of the Schwarzenegger School of Acting, and truly horrific puns like 'ICE TO MEEEET YOU!'

Don't miss out on either the swash or the buckle! Tune in Saturday, March 1 at 1.30pm, 11pm and Sunday, March 2 at 12.30pm.
