An interview with the stars of BBC’s “Intruders”

Intruders is one of the more intriguing new series this year, not least because it stars John Simm (Doctor Who, Life on Mars). It is based on Michael Marshall Smith’s novel of the same name and tells the story of a secret society devoted to, essentially, keeping people alive by putting them into other, existing…

EA introduces ‘Netflix for gaming’ for XBox One

If you have a tablet, you can access your movies and TV shows through Netflix (or Hulu, Amazon, Yahoo etc) or your music through Spotify (Pandora, Rhapsody, Rdio etc.,). Cloud storage and streaming seems to be the future of everything. Now EA games is taking the first step toward an all access gaming library. According…

First trailer for the Hobbit: the Battle of Five Armies

If you’re like me, you’re going to see this … one way or another. The Lord of the Rings was brilliant, all the way through. I’m even looking forward to seeing the ‘extended cut’. The Hobbit so far has been completely meh but having seen the first two parts, might as well see it through,…

How much sleep do you actually need (science video)

No one I know gets ‘enough sleep’ as far as I know. There are always reasons not to or things keeping us up. But, how much sleep is ‘enough’? Part of it depends on genetics but for most people the answer actually is 7-8 hours/night. What you may not know is that there are potential…

Drone footage of a humpback whale and her calf

Drones get a bad rap. Yes, the kind with bombs are evil but pretty much anything “with bombs” is going to suck. However, they can be put to good use, capturing images that humans can’t. Take, for example, this footage of an active volcano or this plan for capturing images from the surface of Venus.…

If this trailer is true, Mad Max will be better than ever

Trailers can lie, anyone with any talent as an editor should be able to cobble together a few minutes of footage from a two hour movie and make it look like it’s gonna be good. With that said though, if Mad Max: Fury Road (IMDB) is half as good as this trailer makes it look,…

A ‘Evil Dead’ tv series is in the works, says Sam Raimi

One of the quietest stories of the 2014 Comic Con was Sam Raimi’s offhand announcement that he is planning on drafting Bruce Campbell for an Evil Dead tv series. There were absolutely no other details provided but it doesn’t really matter. If Raimi is involved and Bruce Campbell is on board it’s great news for…

Remember the 1970s Planet of the Apes cartoon? (Video)

So far I’m loving the Planet of the Apes reboot. It also makes me nostalgic however. When I was very young, in the 1970s, the original movies were wildly popular – so much so that they inspired a short lived animated series and a one season live action series. The live action series, Planet of…

First trailer for Season 3 of Arrow

Ok, this show nearly lost me last season. It had become too much of a soap opera and not enough super hero but the end of the season gave me hope. The characters who tended to introduce soap opera elements into the script are rapidly disappearing – Moira Queen is dead, Thea Queen is gone…
