a first review from a Tolkien-free
viewer. This one comes from David Ansen of
MSNBC.

This oddball movie has a pre-Star Trek William Shatner starring as a completely pure soul. Feel free to “read more” and learn if it’s worth your valuable time.

No, it’s not about the next movie, “The Matrix: Reloaded.” Instead, The Matrix: Revisited is all the backstage stuff, documentary stuff, and other cool stuff that didn’t fit on the original DVD. Read the review at IGN, then plan to buy it tomorrow.

Just in time for holiday rentals and purchases. Be sure to include your top five!

This isn’t new, and it’s not directly related to sci-fi or fantasy specifically, but it’s something that deserves to be visible. If you have friends who complain that letterboxed versions of movies are missing some of the picture, tell them to check out this link. It’s not as funny as most of the Rinkworks stuff, since it’s meant to be serious, but it’s very well done.

Anonymous Coward writes, I met one of the
actors from SG1 at a Sci-Fi/Horror convention
yesterday. He told me that in addition to the
upcoming sixth season airing, they have gotten
the OK to start planning a feature film. I could
not find any additional official info on the SG1
website. I don’t want to mention the actor’s name

rumour a week ago or so. It was probably on Ain’t It Cool
News, home of one of the Web’s worst search
engines. If anyone knows of another site that’s
reporting this, post the URL below.

The IGN FilmForce has an article here talking about two Marvel Comics movie properties involving Ray Park, Iron Fist and X-Men 2. No mention of the other big Marvel properties, though. (And I was so hoping to somehow work in that Sam Raimi, director of Spider-Man, is celebrating his 42nd birthday today.)
