Geek Gifts: UFOs, robots and mutants could make ideal festive treats
6 December 2009 11:10 AM, PST | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Struggling for Christmas gift ideas for those who are also of a geeky persuasion? Well, here's a few possibilities...
Try the Alien Abduction Lamp (pictured), priced £79.95 from Firebox. Shaped like a UFO, with aliens peering out of the windows, it can be switched off via the antenna. You can also activate the pulsing perspex 'beam' which is levitating a cow into the craft.
Or there are Salt and Pepper Bots at £20 from Suck UK. They're wind-up robot salt and pepper shakers that march across the dining table.
Alternatively, if you love Marvel Comics mutants the X-Men, Play.com has X-Men themed headphones at £39.99, Wolverine cufflinks at £9.99 and an electronic set of Wolverine claws at £16.99.
And over at I Want One of Those, there's a 6 in 1 Solar Robot that can be turned into a boat, windmill, car and other forms, while a Robotic Arm Kit at £34.99 will enable you to assemble your own desktop droid. »

Real-life Paranormal Activity in The Fourth Kind: Fact or Fiction?
9 November 2009 12:45 PM, PST | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »
It has everything a scary movie should have: a small-town citizenry possessed by outside forces, aliens on the prowl and realistic-looking old film footage to vouch for its authenticity. But is The Fourth Kind everything it claims to be? In the new movie, which opened last weekend, Milla Jovovich plays a psychologist named Dr. Abigail Taylor who investigates a series of disappearances in Nome, Alaska. Marketed as a fact-based thriller, The Fourth Kind uses a documentary-reenactment approach to explore a series of unsolved disappearances in the Alaska town. One possible explanation? Alien abduction. But just what is fact and what is fiction? »

Us Box Office Visited By Three Ghosts...
9 November 2009 1:15 AM, PST | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
It came as a surprise to very few people when A Christmas Carol topped the Us box office this weekend, since studio chiefs and analysts were all visited by ghosts pretty much guaranteeing it. That it took $31 million in the process, however, was something of a disappointment, despite doing better than The Polar Express, director Robert Zemeckis' last attempt at a Christmas classic.A whopping 74% of that total, however, came from 3D screenings, reaffirming the box office power of the third dimension, and if Carol does manage to follow The Polar Express' model and keep packing them in until January, it could end up doing extremely well despite the relatively slow start.It was still some distance ahead of the competition, however: Michael Jackson's This Is It fell to second with $14m, while new release The Men Who Stare At Goats took $13.3m, which is better than Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, »
Milla Jovovich delves into The Fourth Kind
22 October 2009 2:22 AM, PDT | 24framespersecond.net | See recent 24FramesPerSecond news »
We’ve been somewhat remiss until now in mentioning and intriguing new movie - featuring everyone’s favourite Zombo slayer Milla Jovovich - The Fourth Kind, directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi. It’s a weakness but we’ve always been a sucker for an Alien abduction/conspiracy theory storylin, and this looks just the ticket. Here’s the skinny on the plot…..Synopsis: 1n 1972, a scale of measurement was established for alien encounters. When a UFO is sighted, it is called an encounter of the first kind. When evidence is collected, it is known as an encounter of the second kind. When contact is made with extraterrestrials, it is the third kind. The next level, abduction, is the fourth kind. This encounter has been the most difficult to document...until now. Structured unlike any film before it, The Fourth Kind is set in modern-day Nome, Alaska, where -mysteriously since the 1960s »

The Vampire Convention!
21 August 2009 7:46 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Hey, if plumbers and dentists can have conventions, why not vampires?
On Sunday, Augist 16th, Hollywood appeared to be invaded by the combined residents of Sunnydale, Santa Cruz and 'Salem's Lot, as bloodsuckers gathered at the Music Box Theater for the first ever Vampire Convention and came back that night for Vampirella's Ball.
It was an appropriate date, as it marked the 53rd anniversary of the death of Dracula himself, Bela Lugosi--the inspiration for Bauhaus' biggest hit. Because of the Hollywood setting, attendees could literally walk down the Boulevard and pay respect at Bela Lugosi's star (Many did.).
There was a celebration of the 40th anniversary of Vampirella, as well as round-table discussions on 'Vampires And Sexuality', and 'Why we love vampires.'
Well-dressed theatergoers on intermission from the "Legally Blonde" at The Pantages Theater did double takes as hordes of fanged, pale Goths slouched silently past them, »

Pics and Trailer from the Alien Abduction Thriller 'The Fourth Kind'

Milla Jovovich in The Fourth Kind
Photo: Universal Pictures Universal has sent over the trailer and a pair of images from their upcoming sci-fi thriller The Fourth Kind as it comes out of nowhere, which could mean one of two things: 1) They are trying to take advantage of a rise in perceived audience interest in sci-fi, or 2) it's actually pretty good. When the trailer debuted as an exclusive elsewhere at the end of last week people got pretty jazzed about it, so let's hope it's the latter of the two reasons. The film is set in modern-day Nome, Alaska, where a disproportionate number of the population has been reported missing every year and psychologist Dr. Abigail Tyler (Milla Jovovich) began videotaping sessions with traumatized patients and unwittingly discovered some of the most disturbing evidence of alien abduction ever documented. Will Patton and Elias Koteas co-star in the film directed by Olatunde Osunsanmi. »

Creepy Trailer for Alien Abduction Thriller The Fourth Kind
13 August 2009 6:30 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
A UFO sighting is referred to as an encounter of the first kind. When evidence is collected, it is known as an encounter of the second kind. Contact with extraterrestrials, is an encounter of the third kind. The next level, abduction, is the fourth kind. This encounter has been the most difficult to document... Until now. Universal has debuted the official trailer for the sci-fi thriller The Fourth Kind starring Milla Jovovich on Hulu (you can also watch it on SciFi Wire if you're not in the Us). I will only say that this looks very creepy. It just came out of nowhere, I didn't even know this movie existed until today, but damn, does it look crazy! Watch the official trailer for The Fourth Kind: A thriller involving an unsolved mystery in Alaska, where one town has seen an extraordinary number of unexplained disappearances during the past 40 years »

Torchwood: Children Of Earth - Day One Review
6 July 2009 2:35 PM, PDT | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
What an episode! The popular Doctor Who spin off Torchwood made it’s triumphant return this evening on BBC One, and despite the fact it was a one hour episode it had the air of a major Hollywood picture around it.
An ordinary day becomes a world of terror as every single child in the world stops. A message is sent to all the governments of Earth: ‘We are coming’. But as a trap closes around Captain Jack, sins of the past are returning, as long-forgotten events from 1965 threaten to reveal an awful truth.
That was the synopsis to the first episode in the Torchwood five-part miniseries, which has just aired on BBC One, and it barely manages to express the sheer size of production that this new series of the popular sci-fi drama promises.
Government conspiracies, Alien Abduction and painful past memories all made up the 60 minute episode, which »

Alien Abduction in Tatopoulos' 'Nonstop'
24 March 2009 11:51 AM, PDT | bloody-disgusting.com | See recent Bloody-Disgusting.com news »
Over the past two weeks we've been getting teased about a brand new movie from FX specialist Patrick Tatopoulos entitled Nonstop. It was reported that DreamWorks was in talks to pickup the Cloverfield-esque project scripted by Michael Gilvary (Greta, Devil to Pay). Today the first details were revealed and can be found by reading beyond the break. Tatopoulos directed the popular Underworld Rise Of The Lycans for Sony Screen Gems. DreamWorks has abducted the sci-fi action thriller "Nonstop" from scribe Michael Gilvary. "Underworld: Rise of the Lycans" helmer Patrick Tatopoulos is attached to direct, and Len Wiseman is producing, writes the Hollywood Reporter. Icm, which reps all threee, packaged the project. The original story line follows the passengers of Flight 209 after their plane is mysteriously abducted by an alien ship. »
[DVD Review] Alien Raiders
21 February 2009 12:59 AM, PST | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
With the sci-fi genre really digging deep these days for cheap thrills and gore fest styles instead of interesting stories with decent quality, it's hard to find something worthwhile to put your money into. Considering most sci-fi flicks are so mediocre they end up on the sci-fi channel, you'd be hard pressed to say that the genre itself isn't in the crapper. The average sci-fi flick gives us aliens, mystical creatures or a giant ass snake coming to tear the world apart and only 5 soldiers, 1 reporter and an unlucky camera man standing in their way. I just gave you a premise to about 80% of the crappy sci-fi films of today. Example, Alien Abduction and Manticore. Boosh...
In the light of that, we have a new look at aliens and heroes in a somewhat typical setting in Alien Raiders. The question you must ask is "can it be pulled off?" I'm »
