Please Do Not Ask For Mercy As A Refusal Often Offends by Paul Bassett Davies (book review).
‘Please Do Not Ask For Mercy As A Refusal Often Offends’ must be the longest book title of any book I have reviewed. I picked it up after reading and being impressed by one of Paul Basset Davies short stories. I’m glad I did as it’s an odd tale told well. The setting […]
Points Of Origin by E. S. Fein (book review).
I think this is a self-published book which don’t usually come to my attention. Authors typically don’t have the marketing and distribution resources to get books in front of reviewers like me. I’m also inclined to treat them with caution as the quality of self-published books can be very variable. With ‘Points Of Origin’, the […]
Free Guy (a scifi comedy film review).
I went into Free Guy with very low hopes, but I have to confess, I was pleasantly pleased by this film, according to The Critical Drinker. Matt Lieberman and Zak Penn wrote the script for Shawn Levy’s 2021 science fiction action comedy Free Guy, which he directed. Lieberman also wrote the screenplay. It stars Ryan […]
Another Life: second season (Netflix scifi TV show trailer).
The Netflix scifi TV show, Another Life, is back for its second season, and here’s the trailer to prove it. As Niko and her crew witness the devastation of a planet, the stakes could not be greater. What do you do when you’re dealing with aliens that are capable of such brutality?
Neptune (Outer Planets Trilogy book 2) by Ben Bova (book review)
‘Neptune’ is an unusual book in several ways. One is that it is divided into ‘chapters’ of only one to four pages and each ‘chapter’ commences with a few lines in a strange, bold typeface in which upper- and lower-case letters are the same size. This does not make for easy reading but, fortunately, these […]
Night Raiders (scifi film: trailer).
Danis Goulet wrote and directed Night Raiders, a Canadian-New Zealand science fiction movie in the post-apocalyptic sub-genre. The film follows Niska (Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers), a Cree woman who joins a resistance organisation to the military government in order to save her daughter. It is set in a dystopian vision of North America in the year 2044 […]

Stephen Hunt’s new science fiction adventure, ‘Voyage of the Void Lost’ dives out of Hyperspace.
Stephen Hunt’s amazing new science fiction adventure, ‘Voyage of the Void Lost’ has launched a month earlier than it’s pre-order date – so you can order it, like, today! It’s available in e-book, paperback, and hardback around the world, including the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia. It looks like those sneaky rascals at Amazon have […]
Matrix Resurrections versus Star Trek Picard: trailer battle (video).
The trailers for the scifi film Matrix Resurrections dropped at more or less the same time as the trailer for the second series of Star Trek Picard. The Dark Lord of the Earth (future) is on hand to examine both of these, concluding that one of these trailers was awesome… while the remainder sucked so hard that astrophysicists […]
The Matrix Resurrections (scifi film: full trailer).
Here’s the big trailer drop for The Matrix Resurrections, the 4th film in the series (the one the other day was a teaser, BTW), with Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss in the original roles they made famous, Neo and Trinity.
