Watch the full list: The Underrated Sci-Fi Masterpieces
After seeing 300 or so films a year, I’ve learned quite a few things about the moviegoing experience: Popcorn on an empty stomach is bad news, the majority of movies released each year are formulaic drivel – a waste of time even when seen for free – and the only thing sadder …
“There’s never been a superhero like the new Iron Man!” …Except for the old Iron Man, who was exactly the same, only in a slightly different suit.
Yesterday, Marvel posted photos of Tony Stark’s new alter-ego duds, and to be honest, I can’t really tell the difference. Overall, that’s probably a good thing. You just don’t overhaul …
“One year ago … an elite commando unit … was sent to prison for a crime they didn’t commit.”
Unlike most people watching this trailer, I’m actually interested in the informational content of the voice-over. That’s because I never saw the original “A-Team.” In the part of your brain where you’re supposed to have hours and hours of …
The Nexus One. The Microsoft tablet. The Consumer Electronics Show. All big stories in the news this week.
All utterly foreign to me.
I’m the TV and movie dude. But with Peter in Vegas, I decided to try my hand at talking gadgets. The results were not pretty. (Watch Peter Ha’s CES Report on the Nexus One and HP Slate here)

Gadgets were big news this week with Google announcing their android phone and Microsoft introducing a surprise tablet device at CES.
First impressions of the HP Slate is that it’s underwhelming. While most expected something along the lines of The Courier, a live journal-like device that nerds are excited about, instead they produced …
“That’s kind of a challenge: How do you play a peacenik vampire?”

The holidays have passed us by and normal new comic Wednesdays have mercifully returned. Big Marvel events return to center stage and indy gems fly under the radar. So let’s see what kind of action made the cut for the Panel of the Week.
Siege #1
Well, it’s only a four issue series so I guess Marvel can’t waste any time. Norman and …
One of the best aspects of the Nintendo Wii is the ability to download old-school NES games for $5 a pop. But a trend’s been emerging lately; some classic old franchises are making their way into the WiiWare downloads section, a section that’s normally reserved for games from independent developers and shorter titles from well-known game …
Yahoo posted this new clip from Legion – 40 seconds of what looks to be the makings of an epic battle between ex-angel Michael (Paul Bettany) and still-winged Gabriel (Kevin Durand). I was worried that some of the action would look a little, well … girly due to the volume of male actors flopping around in wings, but from the looks of …
Time travel is a perennial favorite trope of science fiction and has been ever since I went back to the 1890s and mentioned the idea to H.G. Wells.
