By Joan Alperin Schwartz 'Battleship' directed by Peter Berg (Hancock) has a poorly constructed script, ridiculous dialogue, cardboard charcters and it's really, really loud. It does have bad ass aliens and some exciting visual effects, but that is not enough to save … more

As one of the internet’s resident scribes on all things movie, I’ll not be the first – nor certainly the last – to lambast the treatment JOHN CARTER received at the box office. The short version of this sad history is that JOHN CARTER was the perfect popcorn flick that deserved better – better from fans, better from the studio who made the film, and (far, far) better … more

"The Keepers" by Rick Friar took my by surprise. A BIG surprise. When I first saw these books at Barnes and Noble, I saw 3 thick books stacked next to each other and the way I devour a book, I'm always looking for something long and engaging, but what really grabbed me were the illustrations of new and novel machines I never had seen. It was … more

There's something about this movie that makes me like it more than I should. I don't know what... but I know it's there. I've never read the books so when I saw it I had no idea what to expect. Fortunately for me I was pleased with the product and it's like it became one of my guilty pleasure movies. The Hunger Games strives away … more

When reading this book one must remember that some of it was first published in 1955 only ten years after Hiroshima. It was only two years since the Korean war and the Rosenbergs had just been executed in 1953. The story is in three pieces and the entirety was not assembled, polished and published until about 1960, though some sources say 1959 and some 1961. Yes … more

One of the most recognizable ships in the fleet, the Zephyer is a ship of Libran Registry, its large and round. After the destruction of Cloud 9 this ship becomes the fleets R&R spot. In Season three it was damaged by two Cylon missiles after the Fleet lost power in the Ionian Nebula. Luckily the Damage was repaired and the ship eventually reached earth with the rerst of the fleet. … more

Personally one of my favorite ships in the fleet. Cloud 9 is a Luxury Starliner, after the attacks it wasn't open to the fleet due to damage. After wards though it became an integral part, allowing officers shore leave and providing a grounds for the Presidential elections. This ship contained Lavish Hotel rooms and even a large Artificial domed environment complete with trees, grass and computer … more

I find it funny that; when you type in Battlestar Galactica in the Search bar on Lunch, various different topics pop up "Battlestar Galactica: The Plan", Battlestar Galactica: Razor" or Battlestar Galactica Daybreak". No matter how much you search you wont find a topic for the ship itself, the actual Battlestar Galactica. Galactica is a 40 year-old Battlestar … more

Luc Besson is one name that also gets my attention when it comes to an action film and “Lockout” is one such film that is based on an idea of his. Take note: it says based on Besson’s idea. The film seems to be a tribute to all the brainless action movies that have graced multiplexes in the past. Ok, perhaps ‘tribute’ is not the right word, the film pretty much takes … more

Ok so based on the trailer, it looks like this could be a desent movie. There looks to be a bunch of action and some humour. Almost like Die hard or Lethal Weapon. Im liking the premise too, I always liked Original Science Fiction stories, its like a breath of fresh air into a genre defined by Star Trek and Star Wars. Overall The film looks good, I cant wait to see it.

Libran, If I was a character in the Battlestar Galactica Series this would be my planet; cause I'm a Libra. The Planet Libran is not as well fleshed out as say planets like Caprica, Tauron or Gemenon, but if anything it was famous for its numerous courthouses. It is said that people from this colony are dedicated to the law. Libran also had the largest and most … more

There's a new, online sci-fi series that just started called The Synth Oppression (thesynthoppression.wordpress.com). The author Adam Hutchinson has a tagline for the series: a sci-fi mystery in 25 parts. Each new part comes out on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Only 2 parts have been published so far, though, so now is the perfect time to jump in! I'm not so sure … more

**** out of **** "Melancholia" begins with a stunning montage of beautiful images, all somehow connected. They are meant to act as a sort of moving scrapbook for the end of the world; at the end of it all, we see a planet collide with our own, incinerating everything on it, perhaps even the water. Before that, we get extreme slow motion imagery such as a woman clutching her … more
