Star Wars Coming To Blu-Ray: It's official.

BLU-RAY / DVD Thursday, August 19 by Captain


Yes. The Star Wars movies are coming to Blu-Ray. No, the original 'original' versions of the original trilogy are not.

Last week George Lucas announced that all the Star Wars movies are coming to Blu-ray.

Why has it taken so long for Episodes One to Six to come out in High Definition? Cash.

It seems that it's only by September of 2011 that there will be enough Blu-ray players in homes across the world to satisfy Lucasfilm. It's good news, bad news. Bad news for cynics who've had their fears about the primary motivation behind Star Wars grimly satisfied, good news for Blu-ray owners who want to see the most popular Sci Fi films of all time with the very best picture and video quality available today.

Push DVD/BD Review

BLU-RAY / DVD Thursday, December 24 by Captain




Starring Chris Evans, Dakota Fanning, Joel Gretsch,Camilla Bell, Djimon Honsou
Director Paul McGuigan
Rated M
Released Jan 4

If you're looking for a movie that blends Hong Kong grunge with X-Men style powers, this is your holy grail.





An edgy, gritty style of filmmaking gives a real 'in your face' texture to a story more similar, perhaps, to fans of Firestarter, than to fans of X-Men, although in this case, the execution of the action takes a leaf form its setting and gives it a Hong Kong style of fight choreography and action-plus action.

Giving The Gift of Sci Fi: Stargate SG-1

BLU-RAY / DVD Wednesday, December 16 by Captain


Christmas time is descending upon us like a voracious Gundark eager not to have its ears pulled. Panic is starting to set in.

Sure, you can always take the easy, clever and rather delightful path that begins with giving the gift of a SCI FI Channel subscription to those nearest and dearest who haven't discovered the joys of Channel 125 yet. Not a bad option at all.

;)

However, you could also consider giving the gift of shows that you see on SCI FI.


One of the all time SCI FI faves, and one of the longest running Sci Fi shows in history, is Stargate SG1. Currently in it's third evolution on SCI FI as Stargate Universe, Stargate SG1 is a classic adventure story that lovers of Sci Fi need very little introduction to. The continuing adventures of Jack O'Nell, Samantha Carter, Daniel Jackson and Teal'c, and then later, Cameron Mitchell and Vala Mal Doran, (and let's not forget Jonas Quinn!) have enthralled and delighted for ten seasons and two movies - and you can see them all in the Stargate SG1 Portal Collection.
