Based on The Sword of Truth book series by Terry Goodkind, ABC Studios’ Legend of the Seeker has picked up where other fantasy shows left off – in New Zealand.
In the mid-90s, fans were wild for fantasy hits Xena and Hercules and producers Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert are just adding more fuel to their fire. LOTS, which made its debut …
A Styrofoam container showed up at my desk the other day. It looked like an ice chest, and it was filled with all kinds of goodies. Both normal and grotesque. And it was enough to get me more than a little giddy about the upcoming movie Repo Men:

I think I’ve been predictable enough to put all five issues of this series on my pull list posts. I can’t apologize for it. This character study of the Kingpin has been on point. The pace is perfect and it’s punctuated by scenes of intense violence that only Big Pun could deliver. This issue marks the end of the arc and …
Dibs on Olivia Wilde and the girl in white.
So no, Up in the Air didn’t win best picture Sunday night. And I sort of thought that was a shame (in my year-end top ten list, it was the only movie to beat out Avatar for my top slot).
But the movie is out on DVD and Blu-Ray today, so you can now see what all the critical clamoring was about around the holidays, when the George …
You know there’s nothing I like more than a little monster-infused anything. That said, it’s no surprise that I love these paintings that have been snatched up from thrift stores and flea markets and altered to include dinosaurs, killer robots and giant squids. I think it’s an improvement, really.

This morning, DC announced that J. Michael Straczynski would be writing Superman and Wonder Woman beginning in July, with issues #701 and #601, respectively (apparently preceded by previews in June’s anniversary issues). That’s now been followed by a kind of statement of purpose by Straczynski, which amounts to “here’s why I love …
Sunday marked the 50th anniversary of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities in Jerusalem and to celebrate the association is displaying the manuscript of Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity in its entirety for the first time. Nerds, delight!
The 46-page report is a handwritten explanation of Einstein’s most notable work …
Funny man Ben Stiller presented last night’s Oscar for Best Makeup with a blue paint job of his own. Though Avatar received very little Oscar love last night, taking home trophies in visual effects, cinematography and art direction only, Stiller at least brought us some Pandora-sized joy with his silly interpretation of the Na’vi. …
I have a habit of never watching trailers for movies that I have high hopes for and Tron Legacy is no different. In case you didn’t go and see Burton’s Alice over the weekend here’s a cam of the trailer that debuted during the IMAX event. Let me know what you think.
*Please don’t suck.*
So Peter Ha mentioned that maybe the new comics list could be ‘punched up’ a little. I thought I was providing a great service by stripping down the comics list to just new issues. No trades, no magazines, no toys, statues, or merchandise. I even strip out the BS alternate covers. This is the list I want to see every week. Just the …
Every Monday with “Freeze Frame,” we break down our very favorite sci-fi/fantasy/adventure moments – the scenes that we look forward to, that remind us why we so love this job. As you might guess, such discussions are riddled with spoilers. So consider yourself warned. (See previous Freeze Frame features here.)
I was talking to …
