This film truly puts the car into carnage!
If you think that Paul WS Anderson is an unsung hero then this will probably another fine Sci-Fi film for you. If you do enjoy complex plots and characters with meaningful violence and believable scenarios, then perhaps this may not be your cup of tea. If you're looking for something that resembles a gigantic, rather bloody driving game, then you have hit nirvana.
People sometimes say that Americans and/or Sci Fi fans are a little bit 'special'. Or to put it more bluntly, scarily, dangerously nuts. We of course disagree, and say that diversity and unique creativity are the things in life that make life interesting, and in fact, make those people far more interesting than the drone-like masses who ignore both their inner child and of course, Science Fiction. At their peril. For they miss out on the joy of life that comes with Star Wars Dollar Bill Origami.
With excitement building for the launch of Gemini Division on November the 3rd, it seemed only fair to put up some videos on our SPECTRUM video player to give our Sci Fi fans a chance to get to know a bit about the series before it starts.
Featuring interviews with all the key creatives (and the star, Rosario Dawson) the videos look at The Cast, The Creatives, The Editing, The Shooting, the amazing Special Effects and of course, just what exactly Gemini Division is.
Our brand spanking new Gemini Division minisite is now live!
Monday night sees November 3 explode onto SCI FI with the launch of the brand-spanking new Gemini Division, starring Rosario Dawson.

From then on, every night, at 7.30pm, you can catch Gemini Division on SCI FI, and at 8pm, catch it again on the website, all the way until December 22!

Released Oct 30
Starring Harrison Ford, Karen Allen, Cate Blanchett, Shia LeBeouf, Ray Winstone, John Hurt
Directed by Steven Spielberg
Rated M
Now that the dust has settled and Indy 4 has gone on to absolutely massive worldwide success, it seems almost pointless to review a DVD where almost everyone has seen it, and if they haven't seen it on the big screen, then the time has come to make the plunge into the world of DVD and Blu-ray.
In a strange and wonderful 'life mimics art' moment, the University of Queensland is planning on building a Eureka style town on the fringe of western Brisbane. The Courier Mail reports that the University is seeking approval from Brisbane City Council and the Queensland State Government to build a township for around 10,000 people - where up to 4500 elite scientists from around the globe can gather and invent things that probably and hopefully won't blow us all up, like that dastardly Large Hadron Collider and its plans for world domination via black hole replication.
Wednesday, November 5 at 10:20pm the date for all Anime fans to tune into Channel 132 for the first episode of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, the first of four back-to-back Anime shows in our brand spanking new Animax block!
GISSAC (as hardcore fans know it) will be followed by Cowboy Bebop, Black Lagoon and Blood +. A feast of the very best Sci Fi, high tech and fantasy Anime ever made.
If you're unfamiliar with the shows, and would like to know a bit more, why not check out our brand spanking new Animax mini-site. You can also click to get free e-mail and sms reminders when the shows are about to start.
In a world simply brimming with movie franchises there seems to be one that chugs along quite happily without 'overhype' whilst retaining a high level of quality. The kids of today are growing up with Harry Potter (quite literally) and have been afforded the rare pleasure of seeing their epic saga translated to the big screen without a twenty year gap.
Thus a rare frisson runs through the internet as Harry's latest movie pokes its nose out with a teaser. Have a look:
The third series in the remarkably successful Stargate franchise, Stargate Universe, will begin shooting February 4 for a Northern hemisphere summer 2009 premiere on the US SCI FI Channel. With Stargate Atlantis finishing strongly and the Stargate : SG1 movies selling spectacularly, the groundswell support for Universe is strong among the fans. There's also quite the 'what will the come up with next? quotient to the fan speculation for Universe as the bare detials eeked out by Stargate uber-honcho, Brad Wright, reveal little more than a human crew stuck on an ancient vessel far far far far far far away from Earth.
