"Of all the cartoons of my childhood, there was one which held a strange fascination and still does. For a kid who loved sci-fi, ancient myth and electro-synth, Ulysses 31 was all you could wish for at 4.30 of an afternoon."

The memory of one of the greatest animated series ever was so strong, Dermot grew up & made this amazing live action intro!

Read more on Dermot's fascination with Ulysses 31 here.

We've been keeping an eye out for this every since MOON blew us away, and we found out that Duncan Jones was to direct Jake Gyllenhaal in a time travelling, Sci-Fi thriller. So read on, for the full synopsis, and the explosive trailer itself...

The last time I watched 'The Evil Dead' was around 30 years ago, it was a 4th generation pirate VHS copy on a Ferguson Videostar with wonky tracking. Despite the picture rolling occasionally, and the warped audio, the memory of watching Sam Raimi's first feature is still a highlight of my movie watching youth. I was banned forever from a friends house after his mother discovered us watching it one afternoon. It was, after all, a title featuring heavily in campaigns against the 'Video Nasty'

Quite why it has taken me so long to get round to watching this "Video Nasty' again is a mystery, but here it is from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, bang up to date with a 1080p digital transfer to Blu-Ray, featuring 5.1 Dolby TrueHD sound, and loaded with hours of bonus material...

So read on, answer the competition question, and 2012 could be on it's way to you soon...

What we did't know was what it is going to look like, until now. Director Roland Emmerich has gathered all his world smashing skills together to have one last pop at planet earth. Skills honed on previous ventures (Independence Day, Godzilla, The Day After Tomorrow) And blasted out the screen with gusto.

But is it any good? >>>

Spurred on by the lack of support from Sony Picture Classics when it came to sending out screener DVDs to Oscar Academy voters, fans from all over the world have met through social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook, joined by a common desire to see an actor who has delivered a stunning performance, be recognized by his peers at the highest level, by receiving a nomination for Best Actor in the 2010 Academy Awards.

Very basically, if the studio are not promoting MOON to the academy voters (all 5,777 of them) then the fans will. With only 10 days to go until Oscar ballot return deadline (23rd January 2010), time is of the esscence. So, if you have seen MOON, loved Sam Rockwell's performance, and want to help out you can:

This post title is a quote from well respected, award winning creator of graphic novels Warren Ellis 'Slingers' exists currently as a Sizzler, a show reel if you like to wet the appetites of the industry, but wowsers! All involved have been bowled over with the response since it's release on Vimeo this week, where views hit over 20,000 in hours!

Tis a lovely thing indeed. Growed up British Sci-Fi set in 2263 A.D mixed with a large slice of 'Hustle'. Personally cannot wait for a feature length pilot in 2010 Further details after the video...
