Wow Signal

The country has already been in contact with extraterrestrial intelligence for over thirty years? No, not from UFOs or other paranormal means via a radio signal in 1977, which should sound almost all the criteria, which corresponded SETI signal from an extraterrestrial civilization. E 'known as the Wow! Signal. Strangely, however, this event is mentioned rarely if at all, when you consider the possibility of extraterrestrial life in popular science.

The reason astronomersSkeptics are also a bit "of confusion. Because the signal does not occur in the same place, and could not be traced because they move slowly, have an abnormality of chalk. But there's really no other way to this strange signal other than as an event to explain abroad, and said that extraterrestrial civilizations, and are targeting signals to the earth for a long time?

If it can be to our radio and analog TV streaming into the room with the speed of lightrecognized by intelligent beings, not because we targeted, but simply because they do not mind sending a beacon in the depths of space. Our attempts to say hello to ET are not all that long. Transmission longer an alien world is only 4.5 hours. The Arecibo message in 1974, slightly less than 3 years prior to the Wow! The signal was detected, only 3 minutes. It would be surprising, shocking, and to be honest, very worrying if the message was sent to earth by a furtherand much more. It would be like a stalker messages on the answering machine for year, tells us that, you know that we are here and we can pick us up.

It seems that some scientists believe that we have a communication between two passing ships or accidentally on the last piece of a signal abroad that are not really aligned himself had caught us cued. Whatever the true intentions of those who would have been the signal, it seems that their mission would have reached in SETI15. August 1977, when the narrowband signal of foreign origin, the big ear telescope arrived at Ohio State University. Well, what do you expect? Fanfare, an alien invasion or the instructions to build an ark in an astronaut to carry out their world at home? This only happens in movies ...

Escape from New York (Special Edition)

Escape from New York (Special Edition) Review

Escape from New York (Special Edition)
When the film was actually released in India, there were only a very meagre number of people owning television sets or for that matter even VCRs in the entire city of Mangalore. I saw it on the big screen and was immeadiately hooked to the film. The popularity spread through word of mouth and it ran for not less than thirty days. That was a record for any hollywood movie including Star Wars. Eventhough, when viewed today, in 2009, youngsters might complain that the theme feels rather ludicrous (the concept of Manhattan island becoming a maximum security penetentiary in the year 1997, seperated from the rest of the United States and patrolled by highly trained cops.) Kurt Russell plays 'Snake Plisken' a decorated Vet, gone renegade, who is sent on a mission into Manhattan island to rescue the President of the United States, when Airforce One crashes into New York.Donald Pleasence plays the President, held hostage by a criminal named 'the Duke' of New York (Issac Hayes).John Carpenter's crisp direction,the gripping score and the low-light cinematography will surely have you at the edge of your seat. Each and every character is well written and portrayed. Ernest Borgnine as a cabby, Harry Dean Stanton as 'Brain', Adrienne Barbeau, another Carpenter regular, portrays Brain's girl-friend, Maggie. All give terrific performances. Many of my friends have critisized the film as a mere two dimentional pulp. But probably they are comparing it to modern day special effects wizardry in films like The Terminator etc..But I still maintain that in the 1980s there was no other film in the futuristic category which earned it such a mass hysteric CULT following that has not waned even to this day. Even John Carpenter could not come up with a good follow-up movie. 'Escape from L.A', is nothing even remotely near 'Escape from New York'. The film even created a whole new generation of Kurt Russel fans, which significantly benifitted Mr.Russell's career graph. I strongly recommend the film to all die-hard fans of John Carpenter or Kurt Russell. Even if you are not a fan, every time you see this DVD from Amazon, you will get the urge to watch it again and again. The images in the restored version are really good. The sound quality also has been re-masterd, from the original print. If you have a good home-theater with either Dolby 5.1 or DTS, then this film is a treat to watch. You will wonder,"Gosh, the film ended so quickly." That is the magic of this film. 'The Duke of New York", Issac Hayes travels in a special Cadillac fitted with Chandeliars in the front. Plus he has his own theme, which plays ever time the car rolls into frame.Out-Right, Top-Class Entertainment that can be viewed any number of times. Take my word for it. You won't regret buying the DVD. 100% POSITIVE. A word of caution to other buyers from India: A cheaper DVD marketed by an Indian company is available in India, from any retail outfit. But folks, you ARE going to be highly dissapointed because the DVD has been made from an Indian Censored print of the 1980s. The length is way short and all the good scenes are missing. So my advice to Indian buyers is, if you can access, buy the Amazon DVD. It is in a class of its own.

Escape from New York (Special Edition) Overview

In the future, crime is out of control and New York City is a maximum security prison. Grabbing a bargaining chip right out of the air, convicts bring down the President's plane in bad old Gotham. Gruff Snake Plissken, a one-eyed warrior new to prison life, is coerced into bringing the President, and his cargo, out of this land of undesirables. Kurt Russell put his Disney days behind him as the nicest bad guy in the picture. All comic-book sensibilities and macho posturing, this is one of writer-director John Carpenter's better brainless escapes. There are snappy one-liners and explosive action scenes. However, the film lacks tension and some believability even within the realm of SF fantasy. Even when it fails to gel, though, it always manages to amuse, thanks in great part to a varied and unusual supporting cast (watch for Ernest Borgnine as a cabdriver). Followed in 1996 by Carpenter's overdone and campy Escape from L.A.--Rochelle O'Gorman

I thought the movie was not bad, the negative reviews are from people that just hate Corey Feldman, anyway take a look at this film some people will find it very enjoyable. Especially action fans. As far as the name of the movie [Storm Troopers], I don't see what the storm has anything to do with the action and the cyborg in thi movie.

Andromeda Season 1 Collection 2 (Episode 106-110)

Andromeda Season 1 Collection 2 (Episode 106-110) Review

Andromeda, as a series, has hit it's high point and has been running down since the second season. However, the first season remains FANTASTIC. With Robert Hewitt Wolfe writing the series, and the phenomenal acting of the cast, you can expect great lines delivered with a lot of cool and style. Notably, Keith Hamilton Cobb as the [tough guy] of the Universe and Lexa Doig doing triple duty in every episode as the ship, hologram, and computer, all of which she manages to imbue with their own personality. I single them out for excellency, but the entire cast is good in this show. I recommend buying the DVDs right up to season 2 episode 12, which was the last one featuring Wolfe as head writer, and the beginning of the show's downturn.

The commentary could be better, with (I believe) Alan Eastman boring us with show facts that are blatantly obvious to anyone who's watched - But Kevin Sorbo pipes up when he's allowed to, and actually has some good stories to tell. His antics in the gag reel are by themselves enough reason to buy this DVD :-P

Andromeda Season 1 Collection 2 (Episode 106-110) Overview

Based on an idea by Gene Roddenberry, Andromeda wears its debt to Star Trek on its sleeve, recalling the best sci-fi of Roddenberry's heyday. Kevin Sorbo (ex-Hercules) plays Captain Dylan Hunt, the sympathetically flawed idealist in command of the Andromeda Ascendant, a massive 1.4-kilometer-long starship of the now-disbanded Systems Commonwealth. The fall of civilization has meant that although it ought to be a relic it remains the zenith of technological advancement. Episodes 6 to 10 make up this collection.

"Angel Dark, Demon Bright": Time travel is always a sci-fi series staple, but Andromeda needs it more than any of them. Any method (excuse!) to revisit Dylan's own time is explored, and "Angel Dark, Demon Bright" is therefore an important episode for two reasons. We see just how badly the Commonwealth had it coming in an enormous space battle; and we also perceive how potentially dangerous Trance is. Pruning the branches of time as easily as her plants, she's clearly a conundrum waiting to explode.

"The Ties That Blind": The title is a dual reference to aspects of faith. On the one hand there's Rev's devout following of the Way, which unwittingly obscures certain truths from him; on the other hand there's the belief that blood is thicker than water, which severely confuses the relationship Beka has with her long-lost con-artist brother Rafe (Cameron Daddo). There's a lot of art imitating life in this episode, with the Restorian's tactics clearly mirroring contemporary religious conflicts.

"The Banks of the Lethe": Proving that all's fair in love and war, this episode demonstrates the familial possibilities of syndicated TV. Firstly, Sorbo's real-life wife plays Dylan's fiancée, Sara. Secondly, the story was originally touted to Star Trek: Voyager. It's another time-travel quickie (told you they were important), in which a touching reunion for the Sorbos is made possible thanks to a botched experiment in Harper's lab. This installment is also distinguished for featuring some of the most surreal humor in dealing with time travel since Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.

"A Rose in the Ashes": Sometimes diplomacy just doesn't work. On the planet Arazia, Dylan implores the government to join his Commonwealth. Deemed traitors for suggesting it, he and Rommie's "living doll" incarnation are sent to a harsh prison planet. This was the first show to utilize exterior locations, which makes for a welcome change. The same is also true about seeing Lexa Doig in a leather-studded bikini top and disco pants.

"All Neptune's Great Oceans": Macbeth is paraphrased in the title of this spotlight episode for Tyr. The endlessly surly muscle man is accused of assassinating a visiting president. The crew sleuth out clues and red herrings, making this a watered-down whodunit in the now well-established sci-fi tradition. --Paul Tonks

X-Men Collection (X-Men/X2 - X-Men United - Widescreen Edition)

X-Men Collection (X-Men/X2 - X-Men United - Widescreen Edition) Review

Again, I'll say it's not easy to make a movie about super heroes, especially popular heroes that have been around for 40+ years.

It's a challenge to make a movie that appeals to people like myself, who were around to see the beginnings of Marvel and the X-Men in the 1960's, in addition to other generations who've followed the characters in the decades since. And then it's not so easy to appeal to those who've never heard of Marvel or the X-Men.

I did a little research, and confirmed my guess. The movies reflect a combination of different lineups over the decades.

The original team consisted of Professor X, Cyclops, Angel, Beast, Ice Man, and "Marvel Girl" (Jean Grey.) Beast looked more human, in that he originally didn't have the blue fur.

In 1975, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Storm, Wolverine and others were introduced.

There were even more changes, and different "factions" of X-men in the past 40+ years. In the 1990's, the X-men started wearing the suits that are seen in the X-Men movies.

It's difficult to follow the movie with so many X-men. This is especially true in X-Men, The Last Stand. I can't help wonder why they didn't limit the sheer number of characters. They could have chosen to introduce them in future X-Men movies.

The first X-Men movie introduces Wolverine and Rogue... They have a very dynamic and dramatic relationship... a friendship rather than a romantic relationship. Rogue can literally suck the life out of people, while Wolverine has amazing recuperative powers, coming back from the Brink of Death.

We see some of Magneto's background, and perhaps get a better understanding of what made him the villain of the movie. We see his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and witness their plot to turn normal humans into mutants. It's a great story.

X2 depicts more insights into Wolverine's origins, and introduces General Stryker, a human villain, intent on exterminating all mutants. We see the powerful Magneto reduced to a helpless, tortured prisoner, and his eventual escape. We see the unlikely alliance between the Evil Mutants and the X-Men, and so much more.

Again, another great movie.

X-Men Collection (X-Men/X2 - X-Men United - Widescreen Edition) Overview

X-Men
It's a rare comic-book movie that doesn't fall over its cape introducing all the characters, and X-Men is the exception, dropping us into a world that is closer to our own than Batman's Gotham City, but is still home to super-powered heroes and villains. Opening in high seriousness with paranormal activity in a World War II concentration camp and a senatorial inquiry into the growing "mutant problem", Bryan Singer's film sets up a complex background with economy and establishes vivid, strange characters well before we get to the fun. There's Halle Berry flying and summoning snowstorms, James Marsden zapping people with his "optic beams," Rebecca Romijn-Stamos shape-shifting her blue naked form, and Ray Park lashing out with his Toad-tongue. The big conflict is between Patrick Stewart's Professor X and Ian McKellen's Magneto, super-powerful mutants who disagree about their relationship with ordinary humans, but the characters we're meant to identify with are Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and Anna Paquin's Rogue. There are in-jokes enough to keep comics fans engaged, but it feels more like a science-fiction movie than a superhero picture. --Kim Newman

X2: X-Men United
X2 does a fine job of picking up where X-Men left off, giving fans more of what they liked the first time around. Under the serious-minded custody of returning director Bryan Singer, the second film of this Marvel comics franchise ups the ante on Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) and the superhero mutants from the first film, pitting them against a mutant-hating scientist (Brian Cox) who's determined to wipe out the mutant race by tricking Xavier into abusing his telepathic powers. More a series of spectacles than a truly satisfying thriller, X2 introduces new mutant allies while giving each of the X-Men alumni--notably the temporarily helpful Magneto (Ian McKellen)--their own time in the spotlight. Well aware of the parallels between "mutantism" and virulent intolerance in the real world, Singer lends real gravity to the proceedings, injecting dramatic urgency into a continuing franchise that, in lesser hands, might've grown patently absurd. --Jeff Shannon

To the Galaxy and Beyond With Mark Hamill: A Century Of Science Fiction Cinema

To the Galaxy and Beyond With Mark Hamill: A Century Of Science Fiction Cinema Review

Unlike many of the disjointed surveys the leave you with sound bites and contradicting narrators, this presentation is consistent carrying you through time from the beginning of sci-fi film or maybe just film through to today's product. We have one narrator Mark Hamill to synthesize and organize our adventure. In this adventure we see many film clips of our favorite sci-fi / monster movies and maybe a few that we somehow missed in life. Now the clips themselves are sometimes narrated by actors and producers of the actual films.

Keep in mind this presentation was produced in 1997 as a TV documentary (DVD - 2004) so a decade or so of our favorite movies might not be were presented. I guess it's time for a new one of these presentations who will do it?

You will not find a dull moment in this intriguing presentation. You may also have to watch this over again to catch all of the smaller intimations that you missed while you were thinking about the major ones.

IRobot Roomba - Sci-Fi or a sign of things to come?

For those of you who have not heard of the iRobot Roomba, the robotic vacuum cleaner. This is a small device that automatically goes around your home vacuum cleaner and cleaning as it goes. The robot can be programmed to perform operations on a fixed schedule. This allows you to empty your house while you're at work.

I am a big fan of science fiction and an engineer by profession, if the theory of robotics a common dream in my life. So when my uncleI showed her iRobot Roomba, I was sold. The fact that it was beep like R2D2 from Star Wars a bonus. Some months ago I bought a gift for my wife's birthday and we were very happy, particularly weil with two cats at home are the balls of cat fur on the floor is usually long gone without effort.

This then has made me of all the science-fiction films, books and comics, which I saw in the 80's 90's, and I wonder how close we reallysome elements of truth. The iRobot Roomba is a robot iRobot major companies, but looking closely, we are expanding into other areas with robots duty.

After the principle that everything is an injury or dangerous to be performed by a robot. This stems from its military wing design, robotics, where robots are one of my biggest seller. Have used this principle in the iRobot Roomba Scooba, but also a floor washing robot. The WillPool cleaning robot, and finally the strange Looj Gutter Cleaning Robot.

This is not the only team to build robots iRobot Roomba to our work life easier and more free time. Lawnbot has introduced a series of robotic lawn mowers, play a job similar to the iRobot Roomba, but for the lawn. He opted for the nursing field with a robotic pet feeder and clean the litter box.

So this is a sign of things to come? IRobot Roomba reported that in 2008They have sold over 2.5 million housing units in the world. Came the first challenge for the robot in our home is the price. Once the volume begins the move will fall, and like all other technical devices. Then we start to see hit the main contract.

E 'sci-fi or something like that be the simple answer is that there is always an important part of the housing. While the mobile communicator of Star Trek imitated, vacuuming robots nowa common sight in homes. When you connect to the computer, so that increasingly centralized in one building. There will be careful when a server at the police station with a Wi-Fi signal is able to monitor and organize. All these robots apart. From a command from your phone, you can arrange for you to mow the grass, how do you have unexpected guests for dinner.

CG special effects - are no longer special?

There is a growing trend in the high-budget film for special effects, the star of the show, but a strong story or a script convincing. Granted, many people simply breathing, this form of visual pop corn in large quantities, but films of half-chaos is not always in the sense of being a part of the drama are fully measured. Is not regularly in film production has a look at the classics of their genre and has taken a few hours? Yes, we are now in a positionliterally nothing to show on the screen, no matter how bizarre the imagination of writers and directors, but there is a risk that there is always the main attraction of the film, instead of moving, happy, fun does not encourage or celluloid.

Check out the first Alien film. There are some massive elements of a magnificent landscape that there are now some of the legendary science fiction and horror films, but here is the thingnot the fear that makes and gets the adrenaline pumping. Rarely will you see the strange creatures in the film, which makes it startling that the audience will be taken to see what they create in the dark, by their imagination. Now we've done all the ingredients are used in CG in a hurry, so that the imagination and the replacement of fear and terror, with the painful process of thinking Oh, "Composite Nice.

It is also the question of injury against the economic consequences CGEffects. While many incredible can reach with CG, it starts really the art of cinema, if you pause to the center of the blood and the effects make-up. An example would be "Land of the Dead, where a large part of the wing Gore based computer generated action plans and in the darkness, makes the appearance of blood as if it were to death in the original video game Mortal Kombat.

I think CG should be used sparingly, and when they should be usedThings that are impossible to create in order to physical effects or camera tricks. While the computer generated creatures may appear incredible, do not seem to always have enough weight and mass, such as bear the loss and ethereal about what we want, is Stompy and chaotic. It is necessary to find a balance, but as long as the studies to movies in full screen against a green pepper, and mussels with their characters continue to be generated post-production, we really want that publicoutside of history and reality of control that was how it happened, but. It must receive a compensation for the future of the sector as a whole and the perception of future guests and spectators to stay.

Fantastic Voyage (Special Edition) Review

I think this film has aged well considering that it is a special effects driven movie from the 60s it still manages to work and captivate today. An important scientist with knowledge the US army needs has had an accident and suffered brain damage. A group of five are shrunk down inside a submersible ship to travel through the scientist's body so they can fix the damage. One of them may be an assassin. There is lots of interesting places that they visit in the body and set designs are enormous. Fantastic voyage keeps your attention throughout and is good fun through and through especially the last six minutes that should keep you on the edge of your seat. Memorable and worth watching again and again.

Fantastic Voyage (Special Edition) Specifications

2001: A Space Odyssey took the world on a mind-bending trip to outer space, but Fantastic Voyage is the original psychedelic inner-space adventure. When a brilliant scientist falls into a coma with an inoperable blood clot in the brain, a surgical team embarks on a top-secret journey to the center of the mind in a high-tech military submarine shrunk to microbial dimensions. Stephen Boyd stars as a colorless commander sent to keep an eye on things (though his eyes stay mostly on shapely medical assistant Raquel Welch), while Donald Pleasance is suitably twitchy as the claustrophobic medical consultant. The science is shaky at best, but the imaginative spectacle is marvelous: scuba-diving surgeons battle white blood cells, tap the lungs to replenish the oxygen supply, and shoot the aorta like daredevil surfers. The film took home a well-deserved Oscar for Best Visual Effects. Director Richard Fleischer, who turned Disney's 1954 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea into one of the most riveting submarine adventures of all time, creates a picture so taut with cold-war tensions and cloak-and-dagger secrecy that niggling scientific contradictions (such as, how do miniaturized humans breathe full-sized air molecules?) seem moot. --Sean Axmaker

The 10th Victim

The 10th Victim Review

I honestly don`t know if the other reviewers saw the same film I did, but I have owned the original, Anchor Bay release for years, and haven`t seen the re-release - maybe something was cut, maybe the previous reviewers don`t get 60`s Euro-cult films like "Danger Diabolik", "Fathom", "I`ll Never Forget What`s Isname", "Modesty Blaise" or, for that matter, "Our Man Flint/In Like Flint", or "Deadlier than The Male". With the international sucess of the Bond films, there weren`t enough films of this type to satisfy audience hunger, hence all of the above, and although are flawed (as are the bond films), these flicks filled the void rather nicely. This one in particular, for it`s Madison Avenue corporate tie-ins to everything from arena sports endorsements to Rock concert sponsorships that are now a permanent part of our lives, it`s actually spot-on in it`s comedic absurdity and a harbinger of all things to come. And we`re only a step away from televised executions in one form or another... Both Marcello Mastroianni and Ursula Andress are superb in their roles, especially Mastroianni in his world-weary approach to his lifestyle and profession, and the subtle humor and ironies are abundant everywhere in this film. Elsa Martinelli is hysterical as well as adorable, so if you think the "Austin Powers" franchise is good (if you`re under 40), and like any of the 60`s flix I referenced above(if you`re slightly older), do yourself a favor and get this film. I`ve seen it 3 times, and still find humor in it. O those fab 60`s...

Good vs. Evil - A story often told

Cinema Classic good stories. The kind of science fiction often expresses the central theme of good verses evil. One of my favorite series Star Wars: George Lucas. My children are drawn to this series published, and enjoy the Episode IV, the first film. Even if you're not a fan of science fiction, this film is very likely that you are aware.

The question is: What message is being said on the screen? How do I use aClassic films to teach my children my beliefs about good and evil?

The answer is: We can use our understanding of children in the establishment of effective dialogue. Just to clarify our belief in the conversation, we send our children the critical thinking skills.

This is what we know:

This is a good source of energy.
It is a source of evil.
Conflicts arise when they are found two energy sources.
Children are presented with good stories to harmthrough the media and literature.

The Brain From Planet Arous

The Brain From Planet Arous Review

Well, if you are an empath, you'll enjoy this film. Empaths, in case you didn't know, love getting inside of others, wanting to be able to feel how others feel and feel how they think. This film, in my view, builds from that premise of soul to body consciouness and body to body transfer of the soul's yearning to experience other personality types other than its own.

The premise of this movie is real simple: A "bad" or "evil intentioned" brain, named "Gore", from the planet Arous, flees to the earth, to escape judgement for his crimes done on his own world. This brain is able to "phase shift" its atomic structure so it can enter into an organic body while taking control of it. However, every 24 hours it must take on its organic form to breathe oxygen, making it vulnerable or mortal, otherwise it is immortal in its phase shifted, spiritual state of existence. When Gore takes over John Agar's character, Gore discovers the pleasures of the earthly flesh and makes many an attempt to come onto his wife, Jane Meadows, which is why I entitled this "The Brain from the Planet Arousal". The "come ons" are very toned down by today's standards, but no doubt if this was ever updated, allot more would be showed if the story were ever remade.

Anyway, back to the plot. Enters in the "good" brain named "Vol", sent to retrieve Gore and take him back to Arous for his punishment. Until Vol can trap Gore out of the human body he has taken possession of so he can be destoyed, Gore works his plans for world dominance over the earth. The whole film is great actually, including the optical effects for its day; that is until the final scene of the film where you see the wires holding Gore up in the room, while the scientist, whose body was inhabited by Gore, tries to kill Gore with an axe.

The whole ending is a real dissappointment which is why I only gave the movie 4 stars, not 5. You go from this real serious movie to out right hysterics when you see the wires holding up the "materialized" Gore brain in the room. If more had been done to better resolve the final scene in this film, this would have been a sci fi classic in my view, perfect in every way, otherwise the rest of the movie is very well done, both in premise and execution.

It certainly is worth anyone's time to view for the sake of the first 95% of the film. Its almost a total empath's delight to view this film, except for the final scene at the end.

The Brain From Planet Arous Feature

The Brain From Planet Arous Overview

A strange alien ship crash lands in the California desert, bringing a terrifying evil intelligence from another planet whose mission is to conquer the world using subversive mind control. Wonderful Atomic Age entertainment with floating brains, telepathic possession, atom bombs and a scientist whose eyes can destroy planes in mid-flight, plus a sex-starved alien brain monster with lustful desires for beautiful leading lady Joyce Meadows, who delicately refuses its advances with a meat ax. Not to be missed!

A.LI.CE Review

Okay so lets face it, the CGI of this movie looks almost identical to Playstation 1's cinematic scenes.. infact at times it almost feels as if you're playing a PS game and you feel the need to pick up the controller! Aside from that, this is a decent anime. The story is nothing special but its carried out well. The CGI is dated seeing how this is 5 years old now but it's still worth checking out if you're a fan of the methods. A.Li.Ce shouldnt dissapoint.
