Now for something completely different.

Lately I have been watching allot of Asian cinema. There is allot of good stuff out there especially in the Sci-fi genere and if you can get past the whole subtitle thing you will be pleaseantly suprised.

For example this little gem I found today.  Dragon Wars. While the cast looks like it is made up completely of Americans it is actually a South Korean movie. Why did I decide bring this movie to your attention? Well because it will be shown here in the States beginning  September 14.  So go see this one because the effects look incredible. Also check out the official “American” site for the movie here. The movie is said to be the most expensive South Korean movie ever made.

According to The Hollywood Reporter Kylie Minogue will join the cast of Doctor Who for it’s special Christmas episode.

The hour long episode, “Voyage of the Damned,” will start filming this month in Cardiff, Wales. The BBC said that Kylie would play a “major role” alongside the Doctor actor David Tennant.

It was also announced this week that Catherine Tate would be returning to Doctor Who in her role as Donna Noble from the 2006 Christmas Special as the Doctor’s companion for the entire run of the fourth series.

This is a short and I do mean short (10 seconds) of SCI FI Channel’s “Flash Gordon,” premiering on August 10.They actually used the Queen theme song and I hope they keep it. Check out this link to watch the video on SCI-FI.com.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and final book in the popular series by J.K. Rowling, has been scheduled for release on July 21, publisher Scholastic announced. As with the previous releases, the book will be made available in bookstores and online beginning at 12:01 a.m.

We would tell our mom please put on the show of the guy with the crazy hair (Tom Baker - Fourth Doctor) that lives in the phone booth. Some how we always knew when it was on even though we could not tell time yet.

Meet any true science fiction fan, no matter what specific fandom they belong to, and the one thing most have in common is they need a fix of that fandom every now and then. No, I didn’t say want. They need that fix. Read more …
