Now we can finally get a glimpse at what the fuss is all about...
Does Dr Jones belong in a museum? We think not!
Lucasfilm has officially announced the release of the latest chapter in the Star Wars saga. Here are the best bits (and the best pics) from the news-blast from Skywalker Ranch.
STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS will be released as an all-new feature film in August, followed by the television series debut in a partnership announced today between Lucasfilm Ltd., Warner Bros. Pictures and Turner Broadcasting System Inc.
It's scheduled to open in the U.S. in theatres on Friday, August 15. We'll tell you the Oz release dates as soon as possible.
Available on DVD
Director Tetsuro Araki
Released Feb 13
Amime fits into a small, very particular niche in the Sci Fi world, but when it's accepted by the fold, there's usually a very good reason.
Death Note is one of the classic Manga stories that has made the trip from Japanese back-to-front comics (yes, Manga) to anime to live action. Both the anime TV series and the live action versions (in two movies) are now available from Madman.
Glamazons Of The Galaxy – Sci Fi’s Queens Of The Universe
SPECIAL FEATURES

What exactly is a Glamazon?
The just recently made up Sci Fi Channel Dictionary for Cool Stuff states thusly: Glamazon (noun): any babe from any corner of the galaxy who is not only ‘foxy’ but has a master’s degree in kicking serious butt.
A Glamazon will always command attention as she strides into a room/spacecraft/ space station/oddly studio-shaped planetary cave. She may baffle the newbies with her looks, but those who know her respect her brains. And everyone, everywhere respects her ability to put everybody in traction. That's why when Glamazons are about, it's Valentine's Day every day, right here on SCI FI.
Nooooo! Star Trek Gets Pushed Back From Dec 25 To May 8 2009!
NEWS

Entertainment stalwart Variety has just let rip with super irritating anti-Star Trek news, with the announcement that Paramount are adding 5 months to our wait time for more big screen Trek.
The potential for bigger earnings was cited as the reason, with less competition in May than at peak movie time over Christmas. Says Variety: "Star Trek" has no competition in its new slot -- at least not so far, although it opens one week after 20th Century Fox bows "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" and one week before Sony is slated to bow sequel "Angels and Demons."
New Bond Sneak Peek - And It's Called Quantum Of Solace
AT THE MOVIES
Tuesday, February 12
by Captain
Here it is, moviefans, a sneak peek at the upcoming Bond film, Quantum of Solace, chatting with director Marc Forster and a squizz at goings-on on set.
Quantum of Solace? What the hell? Not Quantumfinger? Or Thunderquantum? No! A 'small amount of comfort'.
Little comfort indeed for fans of mindless action, but highly encouraging for those enjoying this new psychologically rich, Daniel Craig-led chapter in the timeless Bond saga. That's not to say that this isn't chock full of mindful action, with (purportedly) double the action of the first - with jetboats, fighting femmes, stunt driving (of course!) and precariously placed punch ups, this looks the goods indeed.
Jumper - First Review To Say If You Should Teleport In - Or Out!
AT THE MOVIES
Tuesday, February 12
by Captain
Released February 14
Starring Hayden Christensen, Rachel Bilson, Samuel L Jackson, Jamie Bell
Director Doug Liman
Rated PG
The beginning of something big? Perhaps. A completely satisfying film? Not quite. Worth a look? Definitely.
Hayden Christensen is David Rice, a young man who grew up tough - his mother absconded when he was five, his father wasn't the best and his schooldays were not entirely bully free. Not surprising he's a bit of a loner. Oh, also, the world thinks he's dead. When he was fifteen he fell through the ice on a frozen river. Facing certain death, his body spontaneously teleports to the local library. Soon he discovers, not only is it easy to disappear when the world thinks you're dead, but also the rules and regulations of his new talent. Not long after, he realises, like all fifteen year olds, that teleporting has one particular purpose - to rob banks.
John Barrowman Interview - The Secret World Of Captain Jack
INTERVIEWS
Monday, February 11
by Captain
When you say 'Captain Jack', some foolish people may respond with 'Jack Sparrow!'.
But not the hardcore Torchwood fans - for them, there is only one Captain Jack - Captain Jack Harkness, the immortal, happy go lucky (most of the time) adventurer who leads the Torchwood team against several universes full of bad guys. Never to be outdone by that time-travelling interloper, Doctor Who, Captain Jack has garnered a legion of fans, as has the actor who playes him - John Barrowman.
We've managed to snare this interview from the BBC Worldwide where all things Jack are revealed, and by all, we mean 'all'. So now, when someone says to you - 'you don't know Jack!' you may reply, 'no, sir, I beg to differ - I do know Jack'.
With Valentine's Day coming up this Thursday the 14th, SCI FI has an especially romantic line-up this week for lovers - of quality Science Fiction.
When we said changes are afoot at SCI FI, we weren't kidding, and this week sees an entirely new line-up for Wednesday nights.
At 7.30pm it's the Halliwell sisters up to their necks in trouble again in Charmed, as Prue has to take on the identity of an assassin who is out to kill her and her sisters.
8.30pm is the all-new time slot for the sea-monster madness that is Surface, with an all new running beginning - well, at the beginning. Tonight, Episode One is loud and proud. If you haven't seen the show, it builds very nicely into a blend of jaw-dropping visuals, government conspiracies and, eventually, major disasters. Cool sea-monsters (and how they grow (and grow and grow)) are only part of the fun. Get in at the start and make Surface your Wednesday night special.

If you haven't seen the pics or video footage you could be forgiven for not quite believing the hype that has surrounded Assassin's Creed. However, now with the upcoming release on PC (with extra side missions), there's very little excuse for the casual gamer not to pick this up.
Why is it so good? In a word - atmosphere.
