Wolverine is perhaps my second most favorite super hero character surpassed only by the Hulk himself. You just cannot beat a huge green bulk that does not understand the difference between algebra and a cheese sandwich. What does make the Wolverine special in my book? It’s because he is as bad ass as they can [...]

What a fantastic idea! Take four super prog stars brilliant in their own right and mosh them together. BAM there you have Transatlantic, the brain child of Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy joined by his friend Niel Morse on keyboard and vocals, Roine Stolt on guitar and long time prog bass player Pete Trewavas. Now [...]

The Coen brothers are if nothing else interesting filmmakers although their once fresh formula suffers slightly from repetition. It did not take long for Burn after reading to press a smile to my lips as it’s corny spy vs. spy commedy unfolded before me. It is without a doubt a clever comedy in the best [...]

Adam Robers writes interesting science fiction period! After I read Stone- a friend of mine lend me another novel: Land of the headless.

Nano machines are always an interesting subject, and coupled with the intriguing ways of quantum physics it makes for a very nice book indeed. I am talking about STONE a book by Adam Roberts. The story revolves around a prisoner, a novelty in the futuristic (yes it is a science fiction book) Utopian society that [...]

Tonight I watched a movie with all the right ingredients. Vampires – check! Gunkata – check! Evil men with gas masks – check! Scifi theme – check! Milla Jovovich’s behind – check! Now if that is not a promising cocktail then how about I throw the director/writer of Equilibrium on top of that? Well you’ve [...]

A new wave of music listening is upon us with the onslaught of bluray. A medium capable of high definition 1080p standard image but more importantly stunning 24bit resolution PCM sound. Rush released their Snakes & Arrows Live on bluray shortly before Christmas thus nailing it firmly to my wish list at the very top. [...]

How many times can a show do the “lets kill the captain” and get away with it?. We have seen it countless times, from TOS to VOY. When the writers choose to remove the captain with the illusion that he/she might never return, they had better make the best of it. Resolutions starts off with [...]
