  • 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 ...

  • Top Three Most Fun Films Of 2009
    By: Jenna Anderson | - 2009 has not exactly been the best year at the box office. Many of the films that have come out during the summer season either fell flat or completely divided audiences who could not decide here or there on what was hit or miss. However, here are three films that I personally considered to be the most fun films of 2009 so far, and should definitely be checked out by movie buffs and regular movie buffs alike.

    The first movie I had real fun watching was Star Trek, the reboot of the ...

  • 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 ...

  • Christopher Nolan A Cinematic Force
    By: Jenna Anderson | - Christopher Nolan is a director who has taken the cinematic world by storm. Some people compare him to Spielberg, while others compare him to Hitchcock. I say he is in a class all his own. He seems like the culmination of what most big name directors have been going for the past thirty years. He has a bit of everybody. He's like a combination of Steven Spielberg, Stanley Kubrick, Alfred Hitchcock, and David Lynch. Here are his best known films and how each one specifically highlights a particula ...

    By: Alan Davidson | - It was revealed by Sir Roger Moore in his monthly questions and answers feature on his official forum for September 2009, that he would be willing to play a part in Doctor Who.

    The question below that produced this response from Sir Roger was by a fan called Rainer.

    My question is unusual for a German, because Dr Who is not very well known in Germany. As an icon on British screens in TV series like The Saint and The Persuaders, you play along Nicholas Courtney, Roge ...

  • Comic Con Introduces Top Movies
    By: Aydan Corkern | - Ever since the 1970s, there has been one major event in San Diego that not only validated the comic book's place in American pop culture, but has served as the proverbial Mecca of pop culture. That event is the San Diego Comic Book Convention, or, as it is more affectionately known, Comic Con. Comic Con has been, for years, the place where movie developers, comic book companies, and all sorts of other entertainment venues go to showcase what will be the next wave of their respective products.

  • How Star Trek Fiction Became Everyday Reality!
    By: Phil Byrne | - Who could have guessed, watching the Starship Enterprise first set out in the 60s, that its five year mission would span four decades and bring Earth so much of the technology that today we take for granted?

  • 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 ...

  • High Definition And The Movies You Watch Today
    By: Aydan Corkern | - If you are a movie buff, then no doubt you have considered throwing your standard definition TV out the window and replacing it with a big, flashy high definition TV. However, if you have not considered switching over to high definition, then you probably just have not been informed as to how great high definition really is for watching some of your favorite films. With high definition you can watch a film with such clarity, that you would almost swear that ;you could count the number of hairs o ...

  • The Hybrid Electric Vehicle - Saving Money While Saving The Environment
    By: Anna Stenning | - The word 'Hybrid' doesn't really inspire images of cars with British people; though the vehicles have been available for many years over here, the technology hasn't quite penetrated the way it has in America just yet, but that seems to be changing in recent times with vehicles by Honda and Toyota being both commercially and critically successful.

    Though the word 'Hybrid' may remind us of such diverse subjects as science fiction films or plants, the hybrid electric vehicle ranges f ...

  • Door To Door Marketing Vs Viral Campaigns

However it is continually being proven that much of the time, the old methods simply work better.

  • Why Vampires Don't Scare Us
    By: Gen Wright | - Vampires are a fantastical group in our literary and cinematic lore. Vampires seize our imagination, entrance us, and allow us to believe in beings outside of our normal lives.

    During the middle ages, vampires were most of the time apparitions. They were the embodiment of a soul not at peace. Normally a vampire wou ...

  • Science Fiction: A Genre With No Limits
    By: Gen Wright | - Science fiction, on the whole, has captivated movie-goers, novel readers, and television enthusiasts equally for generations. While many people would classify science fiction itself as a genre, there is much more to it than that. It is a very broad genre that truly is made up of a large variety of smaller sub genres. Often times, science fiction fans are classified and clustered into one large group with the same interests and tastes and that is simply not the case. Throughout television, litera ...

  • Science Fiction Throughout The Ages And Into The Future!
    By: Ronald.Eapen | - The evolution of science fiction movies over the last 50 years can be attributed to much more than the advances in special effects and movie-making technology (although those changes have had an effect); the biggest influence on scifi during this time period are the events that occurred in the real world. These past five decades leading up to today have been subject to an ever-accelerating onslaught of technological achievements and world-changing events.

    By: Mayor Mize | - When a group of people come together in the dark womb of a movie theater, to experience an alternate reality together, significant energy gets shifted. A spontaneous burst of laughter, from two hundred people connecting with a point of humor at exactly the same time and in close proximity to each other, generates a healing capacity that is quite sizable. Two hundred movie-goers simultaneously screaming in terror creates a cleansing and clearing energy vortex--a collective release of fear reactio ...

    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.
