Proving that sleep is for wimps, Bear McCreary strikes again with a cracking soundtrack for the game that is tied into the new TV series, .Defiance’. or is it a TV series tied into a game? This riddle live on to rival the ‘chicken or the egg?’ so we’ll just take what we have here [...]
It’s Science Fiction but not as we know it. Andy Secombe’s detective-cum-Science Fiction novel seems a bit of a cheat but still provides a solid offering. Our lead character Jack Lindsay is a private detective who boasts an old school mentality. He can barely pay the rent, dresses scruffily and doesn’t deal with authority well. [...]
If you’re a child of the 1970s, you may well remember an ITV series called The Tomorrow People… about a hidden group of mutants being jollied along by kindly aliens as the future of the human race. Low-budget, cheesy fun at the time. Here’s a new US-remake of the series. Here’s the official blurb… They [...]
Dragon Ball Z Battle of Gods is powering our way like the anime equivalent of a comet… feast upon this trailer and weep, fans of all things Japanese.
From up On Poppy Hill: a film review by Mark R. Leeper Goro Miyazaki, son of the famous animator Hayao Miyazaki, makes his own animated film. This is a straight drama with none of his father’s fantasy touches. Instead it tells the story of a lonely high school age girl without a father and with [...]
There’s a second season of Mortal Kombat: Legacy coming your way soon. Don’t believe us? Let us show you this trailer as absolute proof then, oh doubting ones.

Spotting author N.M. Gwynne on BBC1’s ‘Breakfast Show’ in early May promoting his book ‘Gwynne’s Grammar’, I quickly but in a request to the nice lady publicist at Ebury Press and was reading it within a couple days. Unlike the other grammar book I read a couple months back, this one is more like a [...]
It’s all in the detail. Hello everyone Something we all get accused of is nit-picking on details in stories, whether on film, television or in books. As genre fans, we’re notorious for it. I think compared to the ‘average’ viewer or reader, it’s more a case of we’re paying attention and thinking rather than glibly [...]
There is indie cinema and then there is indie cinema as created by Indy Mogul. This grand homage to the SXSW Film Festival is more like a grand fromage, but damn if we don’t love it. More like this please, Griffin Hammond and Russell Hasenauer!
NASA’s first mission to sample an asteroid is moving ahead into development and testing in preparation for its launch in 2016. The Origins-Spectral Interpretation Resource Identification Security Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) passed a confirmation review Wednesday called Key Decision Point (KDP)-C. NASA officials reviewed a series of detailed project assessments and authorized the spacecraft’s continuation into [...]
NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has provided scientists the first close-up, visible-light views of a behemoth hurricane swirling around Saturn’s north pole. In high-resolution pictures and video, scientists see the hurricane’s eye is about 1,250 miles (2,000 kilometers) wide, 20 times larger than the average hurricane eye on Earth. Thin, bright clouds at the outer edge of [...]
A lot of the articles I write often start from seeing a problem and then seeing how I can resolve it within the reality without bringing in anything not already presented. Occasionally, there is a revelation. Sometimes, two. This one falls under the latter and something in its current state that shows why it won’t [...]

I’m not too sure about the choice of cover for this book, ‘Doctor Who In Time And Space’, using Christopher Eccleston than one of the other Doctor regenerations which would have better selling power, but then this is an American book. Well, in name only. There are sixteen chapters and some of them are written [...]
When reviewing materials, it’s important to put aside personal taste as much as possible and offer a fair and balanced review. Unfortunately, I found it quite difficult to do this with this album., Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance – Vocal Tracks’ as it’s simply just not my thing. It’s a fairly relentless soundtrack that seemed to [...]
To call this an album is possibly a bit generous as it’s just one one-minute track from the new TV series. There will be a full album released by the prolific Bear McCreary later on this year but for now we’ll have to make do with the main title theme song. While short, this theme [...]
