Replicas (Keanu Reeves scifi movie trailer).
Here’s a new science fiction movie, Replicas, with Keanu Reeves as a genius A.I. developer – in which he plans to upload recently dead minds into his computers and robots, to see if humanity can live beyond death. Yeah, that’s going to end well, isn’t it. And then his family dies in a car crash, […]
Captive State (scifi movie trailer).
Here’s a trailer for a new science fiction movie called Captive State, set in Chicago in the USA ten years after a successful alien invasion. From the looks of the trailer, it looks like the aliens are venerated in a near religious frenzy – so presumably they’ve put out with some high tech solutions to a […]
Snapshot by Brandon Sanderson (book review).
I’m used to passing Brandon Sanderson’s massive tomes and was surprised when practically the novella-sized, ‘Snapshot’, passed into my hands. At least I can say I’ve read one of Brandon Sanderson’s novels. Although the process isn’t explained, a virtual reality snapshot is made of part of the city and police detectives Davis and Chaz are […]

Laddertop Books 1-2 by Orson Scott Card, Emily Janice Card and illustrated by Honoel A. Ibardolaza (graphic novel review).
At the same time as this reviewer was working his way through ‘Laddertop’, the British digital channel ‘Film On Four’ was holding a ‘Studio Ghibli’ season. The reason I mention this is that those films are famous for involving pre-teen girls as their central characters, something mainstream filmmakers have often found difficult. Historically, that’s also […]
Altered Carbon – Original Netflix Series Soundtrack by Jeff Russo (CD soundtrack review).
The Netflix TV series ‘Altered Carbon’ is based on the novel by Richard K. Morgan. It’s described in the PR material I was sent as ‘…an intriguing story of murder, love, sex, and betrayal, set more than 300 years in the future’. I’m not going to argue as I’ve yet to see it, although having […]
Game Of The Gods by Jay Schiffman (book review).
The first thing that struck me about Jay Schiffman’s debut novel ‘Game Of The Gods’ was the characters’ quirky names, which struck me as somewhat Vancian and made a nice change from the usual run-of-the-mill popular name derivatives. There are characters called Dariox Vinyl, Pique Rollins, Spiro de Yerusalom and Veriton Glass. Some of these […]
