Skyline Financed Entirely By Strause Bros: Could be Awesome

VIDEO Monday, August 16 by Captain


Whilst the Strause brothers received and deserved Universal Hatred for their directorial debut, Alien Vs Predator: Requiem, we still can't help but be excited by their next film, Skyline, which has just pushed out its first little baby teaser onto the internet.

If you've ever wanted to see human beings sucked up into spaceships like so much loosely conglomerated piled of lint, then have we got vacuum cleaner heaven for you!

The film has a small budget, (it's been stated online that the film was completely financed by Greg and Colin Strause) but features an intriguing cast.

Star Wars Goes There: Luke and Leia and inbred Jedi son, Gree-Morr

VIDEO Monday, August 9 by Captain


We all know that kiss on Hoth was kind of wrong.

This is wronger.

Not everyone has thought 'what if, Luke and Leia, you know... never found out, or never really cared that... they were, you know... brother and sister - AND THEY DID IT! They did it, and Leia had a baby! EWWW, gross!'

Not everyone has then taken that thought one step further to see what the result of genetic inbreeding and high concentrations of Midichlorians would do to any offspring.

Until now. Welcome, Gree-Morr Skywalker.

Official Thor Trailer is Mindblowing

VIDEO Friday, July 30 by Captain


When it was first announced that extremely non-fanboy Kenneth Branagh was to direct Marvel's Thor film adaptation, a collective geek intake of breath surged through the internet.

When the cheesy-looking first pics rolled out across the internet, more sucking of air through teeth could be heard net-wide. The fact that Aussie Chris Hemsworth had arms like genetic ham accidents in no way assuaged the fears that this was going to old school suck.

But wait. What's that light at the end of the tunnel? It's the official trailer from San Diego Comic-Con. One look, and you'll know pretty much what to expect: awesomeness.

Stargate Universe Season Two Trailer: Kick Ass

VIDEO Sunday, July 25 by Captain


"Don't Panic (Eli)."
"Experience tells me this is a VERY GOOD TIME TO PANIC"
Cue action montage.

Hello and welcome to the awesomeness that is the Season 2 trailer of Stargate Universe. Apparently, when you get to the edge of existence, the only thing to do, is go further.

It looks like SGU will certainly go further, in all senses of the word.

From the trailer and confirming previous tidbits, we know that the action quota in Season 2 is going to be way up. The Emmy-nominated SFX will be just as good, if not better. Rush will find the bridge of The Destiny, discover the keys to controlling all of Destiny's systems, and will state that he has control of the ship. Young's leadership will once again be challenged.

Conan The Barbarian: The Musical

VIDEO Saturday, July 3 by Captain


With Jason Momoa making the big step from the TV of Stargate Atlantis to the big screen of the new Conan the Barbarian, it seems high time that we look back upon the awesomeness that was the Arnold Schwarzenegger film, using the timeless medium of the Broadway number.

Quite possibly one of the most beautiful singing voices, ever.

The song is 'Crom!' (Conan's god who of course, laughs at your Four Winds) and is the creation of Jon and Al Kaplan (also responsible for Silence! The Musical).

Let Me In Teaser Released

VIDEO Friday, July 2 by Captain


Anyone who's seen the Swedish sensation, Let the Right One In, will tell you it's one of the best Vampire movies ever made, period. When news came that it was getting a Hollywood remake, fans were of course sceptical.

Over time, with announcements that little Aussie Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road) and the absolutely kickass Chloe Moretz (Kick-Ass) were starring, alongside Six Feet Under's Richard Jenkins, the usual nausea has been replaced with growing excitement. After director (and screenwriter) Matt Reeves declared it was a 'passion project' for him, fears weren't exactly allayed, but there was growing feeling that the Cloverfield director knew that he had to come up with something special to avoid a tidal wave of net-hate.

Most Adorable AT-AT, Ever

VIDEO Wednesday, June 30 by Captain


It’s not often that The Empire’s machines of death can be tamed and turned into loveable family pets, but French Canadian filmmaker, Patrick Boivin, has done it.

Patrick’s a bit of a stop-motion wizz (check out his channels on Youtube that include videos of Michael Jackson Vs Mr Bean and a brilliant pop-culture cross-pollination that involves the climactic dance of ‘Flashdance’ and everyone’s favourite Mandalorian, Boba Fett. Boivin does the filming, animation, editing and music. Someone to look out for on the Tube.

Ke$ha/Star Trek Mashup Reminds Us That Star Trek Really Is Wonderful

VIDEO Friday, June 25 by Captain


In a world that always wants the next best thing, now, yes now, not a week after it airs in the US, it’s sometimes nice to stumble across reminders how some things stand the test of time, and are still really quite good no matter how old they are.

Take for example, Star Trek, The Original Series. Whilst it’s fair to say that there are hordes of fans devoted to the Star Trek that started it all, and in many people’s minds, defines TV science fiction, it’s also fair to say there are hordes of people who have never watched an episode, or if they have, dismissed it as too old to care about.

Mortal Kombat: Rebirth - Action Aplenty in Seven Minute Trailer

VIDEO Thursday, June 10 by Captain


In 1995, Paul W.S. Anderson took the legendary 1991 arcade game Mortal Kombat and placed it fair and square on the big screen. Top notch cheesefest that it was, it made over $125 million worldwide, and there have been numerous reiterations since then, all not living up to the not so good start. Mortal Kombat: Annhilation was universally panned, and the live action and the animated TV series did not set the Emmys on fire.

The games have also had a chequered but far more successful career as they moved from arcades and into the console world, now with fifteen versions all up.

VIDEO Thursday, June 3 by Captain


Stargate Atlantis Season 4 Premieres Friday June 4 at 7:30pm!

It's great news. but what's almost just as good (some may say, even better) we've managed to get a hold of David Nykl, the hilarious chap behind the nervous, opinionated and brilliant Czech scientist, Dr Radek Zalenka, who serves not only as a foil to David Hewlett's Dr Rodney McKay, but sometimes is the hero of the hour - as you'll see on the magnificent opening episode of Stargate Atlantis Season 4.


Here's our awesome (and exclusive!) interview with David when he came to visit Australia as part of the Stargate Convention.
