Primer: One of the Best Sci-Fi Movies
Shane Carruth, writer and director of the lo-fi scifi flick Primer, has uploaded the entire film to Google Video so you can watch it for free. The plot is quite complex – so pay attention and lay off the mind-altering … Continue reading
Superheroes
In terms of special effects, I’d love to know how they do the superhero style special effects like in in Hancock and more recently, an EMINEM video (forward to about 3 minutes): and Push I’ve not been posting much because … Continue reading

THE RAVEN
THE RAVEN is a short film, looking a little like a far future version of The 23rd Letter. This made it a lot of fun to watch and I’d love to see it made into a feature. I don’t think … Continue reading

I don’t normally go for PC games but I’m enthused by Dogfighter by Dark Water Studios, a Derry-based outfit who plan to release their game in Spring 2010. I’d love an iPhone/iPad version of it.

Left4Dead, on Expert
“It’s a ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE, I can’t be held accountable for my actions!!!!” Some of us (me, Savage_MF, kinnygraham and Pulse4333) have been playing this in the evenings and I must say it’s probably the best FPS I’ve played in a … Continue reading

UFO files from The National Archives
Lots of PDFs, a video and an MP3. The files contain a wide range of UFO-related documents covering the years 1978–2002. So if you want to find out more about lights in the sky over Waterloo Bridge, near misses by … Continue reading
