  • An Education Is Quality Boy Films
    By: Patrick Omari | - Having discovered that my girlfriend (a self-confessed film lover) had considerable gaps in her viewing experience, I naturally took it upon myself to educate her. This proved quite a challenge because she quite a fussy viewer and has a lot of preconceptions about some genres of film, namely the 'boy' genres: horror, action, and science-fiction.

    She had essentially boy-cotted these genres entirely, missing some absolute classics by sticking rigidly to the more critically appro ...

  • Why Keanu Reeves Should Just Go Away
    By: Aydan Corkern | - I really have been disappointed in Keanu Reeves. He has the emotional acting range of a mannequin, except a mannequin is capable of having a smile on its face. He alone is the reason that Matrix Revolution sucked. It was all on him. He has not legitimately acted since 1992 when he did Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey, and that role required that he act like a complete and total idiot. Good job. I just really wish he would go away...

    Ok, so you are probably wondering why I do not like ...

  • Will You Be Teleporting Into 2010?
    By: Patrick Omari | - Teleportation is the instant transference of matter from from one point to another either by paranormal means or through the use of science and technology and has often been referred to in works of fiction and science fiction.

    The word was coined in 1931 by the American writer Charles Fort to describe disappearances and appearances of anomalies, and he suggested that teleportation might explain allegedly 'paranormal' phenomena.

    Some suggest that it is difficult to ...

  • Engineering Design Makes Science Fiction Fact
    By: Dominic Donaldson | - Invisibility cloaking devices were once exclusive to the realm of science fiction, such as the infamous Klingon cloaking shield in Star Trek or even the ability of Predator to remain hidden from potential prey in the series of films of the same name. The talents at the forefront of engineering design however have brought the reality of such technology a few steps closer with the development of metamaterial, which has the potential to emulate the properties of a garment owned by a certain fiction ...

  • High Expectations For The Movie Avatar
    By: Aydan Corkern | - Many believe that science fiction movies of recent times have been both uninspired and just plain bad. Many feel they lack imagination, and just do not seem to grip people in the way that science fiction used to. However, that may be about to change when director James Cameron brings moviegoers his new science fiction epic, Avatar.

    Avatar takes place in the twenty second century, on a moon called Pandora. A space marine, whose career has ended due to an accident that has left him ...

    By: Aydan Corkern | - Space. The final frontier, and all that jazz, right? So you say you have never been much of a fan of the Star Trek franchise, right? Well, the new Star Trek movie from director JJ Abrams may change all of that for you. The new film features a fantastic story, fantastic special effects, and fantastic acting. Plus, if you were already a fan of the original series, then you will love the amount of detail thrown in their especially for you.

    The plot for the film is simple. A time trav ...

  • Anticipation For The Sci-fi Movie Surrogates
    By: Aydan Corkern | - Many people have felt that science fiction has been in somewhat of a stagnant pool in the past ten years. Ever since the thought provoking film the Matrix appeared, many have attempted to rip off its formula of using the internet as a plot device and showing how technology can isolate humanity. However, a new film is coming out soon that appears to be taking the theme to the next level. That film is called Surrogates.

    Surrogates takes place in the year 2017, where people no longer ...

  • Musical Fantasy Audio Book
    By: AudioBookStef | - In making this fiction, did you visualise music and pictures right away?
    When writing for fiction you cant help visualising images inside of it, which are changed by the director afterward.
    With the music it goes some other way. In fact I write the storys scenes in view of creating specific music for it. That means I hear the overall musical style during the process, though I seldom hear the individual details of the themes, melodies, etc. This stage requires a differ ...

  • "knowing" The Future Holds Some Surprises
    By: Shelly Greenhalgh-Davis | - Weve seen Nicolas Cage decipher codes before, a la National Treasure. If theres one thing the Academy Award-winning actor is good at, its bringing an audience inside his mind and letting us see how it works. In the sci-fi thriller Knowing, Cage plays the role of John Koestler, an astrophysics professor at MIT, who we quickly learn is a grieving widower, conscientiously raising his son Caleb by day and drinking away his sorrows by night.

  • Movie Reviews Reviews The Science Of Sleep
    By: Mr D Stevens | - I didn't know what to make of this movie, my initial impressions at first from the title and hearing that the director Michel Gondry did music videos for thefoo fighters, I was expecting a science fiction drama.
    What I certainly did not expect was this kind of a movie, I don't know where to begin, it is a psychodelic enchanting and mesmerising vision through the main lead, played by Gael Garcia Bernal (unrecognisable from the angry mexican in Babel).
    He plays Stephane, from a spani ...

  • Alluring Genre Of Romance Fiction
    By: Francis K Githinji | - Romance fiction is mainly defined as the imaginary story of love between people. This imagination is put down in writing to form a romance novel or romance literary work. Romance fiction is one of the oldest genres and definitely one of the most distinguished. People who are responsible for creating this kind of fiction are called romantic authors. It is pretty amazing thinking about some of the work that has been brought forth by the authors. The best thing about fiction is that all things are ...

  • Water Is Good For Drinking And Fuel
    By: Chinese Checker | - The science fiction community has long been promoting the use of water as a way to fuel a car. It has been documented by such authors as H. G. Wells, Isaac Asimov, and Piers Anthony. These inventive minds have always brought the world technology never before thought of.

    Having water as a source of energy has become a dream for running a vehicle since the inception of water used as energy in power plants. Inventions to use water as a fuel for cars have been tried by many people. Ev ...

  • The Dynamics Of A Water-fuelled Car
    By: Loosey Goosey | - The definition of a water-fuelled car is a vehicle that runs on a motor that is fuelled without any other energy source than water. The compound of water is made of two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen. The use of water to make a fuel has, up to this point in time, been simply a science fiction dream.

    A common belief of water-fuelled vehicles is that a form of this is a steam engine. This is not true as the steam engine uses wood or coal to heat up the water to form steam. T ...

  • Breaking Down A Few Movie Genres
    By: Terry Parker | - Movie genres are as numerous and varied as the screenwriters, directors, producers, and actors who help make them possible. This article will identify some of the most common types.

    Of all of the many movie genres in existence, the drama is inarguably one of the best known and most popular. Dramas are plot, as opposed to character driven, which means that the action of the story revolves around situations and circumstances affecting the characters.

  • The Characteristics Of Various Movie Genres
    By: Terry Parker | - The first movies were nothing more than silent, short reels of film, usually depicting ordinary people performing everyday tasks. It was not long, however, before filmmakers began experimenting with elements of plot and characterization, and soon, themed movies were being made.

    While many genres and sub genres exist, there are a few basic, or main movie genres that most films fall into. These include, but are not limited to, action, adventure, comedy, crime or gangster films, ep ...

  • The Origin Of Stars, Planets And Us
    By: mejo | - UK science teams are working on several missions that search for evidence of our origins in the depths of space.

    Space telescopes like Hubble and XMM-Newton look out at the furthest reaches of space, collecting light from the youngest galaxies. They will be joined in the future by the Herschel Space Observatory, the James Webb Space Telescope and the Planck mission, all gathering evidence on the origin of the Universe, stars and planets.

  • The Weird And Wonderful World Of Science Fiction Books
    By: Kenneth Scott | - Out of all the genres of books that have been written, science fiction seems to be one that is a class apart from all the others. The feeling towards the genre is either one of fanatic following and great enjoyment or extreme hatred. Those who have a natural penchant for unearthly objects and unsolved mysteries tend it would seem to get addicted at a relatively young age, which could be as young as 7 to 8 years. To appease the curiosity and desire to read more of such books, there are science ...

  • Finding The Best Science Fiction Books
    By: Judith Allison. | - How many readers take a book to bed to read before they go to sleep. I would expect some of the best science fiction books to have a totally opposite effect than lulling the reader into the realm of heavy eyelids and sweet dreams.

    A well-written science fiction novel should create a desire in the reader to pursue the story, to dwell in the new world or universe created within its pages, fraught with the unexpected, the magical, or the downright unusual. The best science fiction bo ...

  • Science Fiction Writing - Ten Cliches To Avoid
    By: William Meikle | - Science Fiction has become so much part of our culture that icons from it are all around us, in film, TV, computer games and music. Adoption into the mainstream makes science fiction both easy to sell, and hard to write without seeming tired and cliched. Here are ten situations you should steer away from, and some variations to consider if you're determined to proceed.

  • Space Travel: Science Or Fiction?
    By: Francesca Black | - There are those who deny Neil Armstrong walked on the moon and maintain the whole story was a government conspiracy. The idea that man could actually break away from our cradle of atmosphere and gravity was once fiction of the highest sort. Yet one dreamer made it a reality. What is there not to believe about space travel? Will there be a time when such a thing is feasible?

    If interstellular travel requires traveling at light speed, the situation is not promising. The biggest hurd ...

  • Some General Science Related Reviews
    By: Wandile Maseko | - The ability to compare and contrast a range of approaches and evaluate their respective strengths and weaknesses is an effective learning strategy and should be employed as a matter of course within forensic psychology. Upon dissection of the human brain, aside from some jelly-type matter, nerve fibers and perhaps neurotransmitters, all of which come into play in our thought and motor functions, there emerges not a shred of evidence of a substance that produces a sense of humor, the appreciatio ...

    By: Andrew Schwartz | - Ursula Le Guin wrote in 1969 a book named The Left Hand of Darkness. This writing belongs to feminist science fiction.

  • Eyes And Lens Of The Future
    By: Philip Nicosia | - Remember the popular Million Dollar Man series on television in the 70's? Remember how Steve Austin, played by Lee Majors, had that bionic eyes which allowed him to see what's happening in places even far beyond his eyesight? The series was, perhaps, the famous science fiction in the small screen at that time.

    Now, with the ever advancing technology, scientists have come up with high-tech eyes although they may not be as close as those of the Million Dollar Man. Developed by the ...

  • Do You Want The Best For Your Child?
    By: Paul Heingarten | - You would probably have a hard time finding a parent that doesn't want the best for their child.  Food, shelter, education, love...when it comes to raising our children nothing should be too good.  An important part of a child's development comes from their ability to communicate.  Books help foster this ability in children.  The following is an excerpt from an ebook titled "Books For Children", which further details the benefits children receive from reading and li ...

    By: Jerry Richard Boone | - I love planetariums. The stars, planets, satellites, etc. plus the padded reclining seats, dark comfortable surroundings, and usually a nice soothing voice. Yes, it's great. In no time at all, I'm fast asleep! Only once, many years ago, I stayed wide awake for the whole program.

    The story was so intriguing I couldn't take my usual nap! Even more remarkable, I can still recall most of the storyline and many of its details, although the author, title, and producer have long since ...

  • Fiction And Folk - Making Filk Music Together
    By: Madison Lockwood | - The word "Filk" is a combination of "fiction" and "folk." Filk music originated as songs composed by dedicated film or TV fans, usually relating to science fiction and fantasy programming. The word originated in the '50s in an article about the practice of science fiction fans singing self-created songs while meeting at conventions geared for the sci-fi and fantasy fan.

    While the practice goes back to the fifties, it has developed a genre and following that continues to this day o ...

    By: Steve Dempster | - Nearly everyone who wants to be a writer looks at the fiction market as being the way to go - but another, vast market exists. What is it? Let's find out.

    The minute you mention that you're a writer you nearly always get the same reaction. It goes something like this: 'Do you write crime thrillers/science fiction/romance/spy stories etc .etc. etc.' I was pleasantly surprised recently when someone I met at a writer's circle said 'I don't write fiction.' We had a very interesting co ...

  • Short Stories - Dead In The Water Or Alive And Kicking?
    By: Steve Dempster | - The short story genre is one that is thriving - but only in certain places. Where are they?

    A short story can be roughly defined as any work of fiction below about 12,000 words. A greater wordcount tends to move the story into the realms of the 'Novella' or Novelette', a niche in the writing field that falls between the short story and the full-blown novel.

    For many years the short story was a thriving branch of fiction but took a downturn during the middle section ...

  • Computers That Talk
    By: Kadence Buchanan | - As a kid growing up, I was fascinated with science fiction, especially those movies and TV shows that dealt with the future and portrayed how life on earth would probably be several decades down the road. I liked the idea of robot-servants who talked and followed our orders and of aerial vehicles that were the main means of transportation and that sent us speeding through the sky on our way to work. I was always fascinated with talking computers as well.

    By: Kathryn Lively | - I've been following an interesting thread of conversation on a writing message board: a debate as to whether or not the practice of writing fan fiction is healthy for an aspiring writer.

    By definition: "fan fiction" are stories involving characters from a television series or movie, written by fans and usually printed in underground magazines or on the Internet for other fans to enjoy. This concept is especially popular among fans of science fiction programs, and writers of all sk ...

    I like to be surprised when I go to the movies. I like to see things that I've never seen before and I like to be confronted by virtual realities that I did not even think possible. That's why science fiction movies are my cup of tea.

    They traditionally cover a wide range of subjects and themes, including several that are uniquely their own. ...

  • Trekker Versus Trekkie: The Controversy

    So what is the difference between a trekker and a trekkie? The short answer is: nothing. According to Wikipedia, the all-knowing, on-line encyclopedia, both terms denote a fan of the Star Trek science fiction franchise. So why all the controversy between the two? I once heard that fans of the original series were called trekkers, while those of the Next Generation were trekkies, but I have since learned it's not as simple as that. The difference, it ...
