I arrived the second day expecting that there wouldn’t be much of a crowd left. In comparison to day one, there weren’t nearly as many. However, that didn’t mean there weren’t a ton of people! There is talk that the event hosted 20,000 people this year. If correct (on...

I knew that when the CW got their hands on this property it was all going to go down hill quickly. Let me start off by saying that I was a kid when the Linda Hamilton/Ron Perlman Beauty and the Beast came out. I wasn’t truly all that interested in the show because it was a romance story....

It was reported by io9 today that the movie adaptation of Lobo, a character from DC Comics, has a new director. Initially Guy Ritchie was initially slated to direct this film, but backed out instead to pursue a sequel to his Sherlock Holmes. Now, Brad Peyton is set to direct this movie. If you...

Another Dallas Comic Con come and gone. I think there is a part of me that’s sad to have seen it gone, especially since the first one of these I went to was so small in comparison to what I’ve seen the past 2 days. To say I had a fun experience is understating the situation....

The original Barnabas Collins has passed at the age of 87. No doubt, many have heard the name Barnabas Collins in recent months. Some of you will remember that name as far back as the 90s when Ben Cross played the character. However, my first memory of him was thanks to home video and the...

SciFiFX is proud to announce that we will be attending the Dallas Comic Con as part of the media circuit! This is an especially exciting announcement for me, as I’m a regular attendee of these conventions going as far back as 2002. (10 years… wow!!!) I’ve got so many memories...

Ralph McQuarrie passed away Saturday, March 3rd at the age of 82.   A single line like that cannot express the deeper meaning that a man like this has had on sci-fi or the art world. What this man was, was a true genius that gave the very look of the Star Wars universe. To...

So it seems I’m back once more with a book review. It’s almost funny, as I didn’t think I would have something read so quickly after finishing A Dance with Dragons. Yet, here I was feeling a little out of place without something on my plate to read. Why? Well, months of...
