Movie Review: Sunshine

Cinema Junkie   |  

Sunshine“It’s people. Soylent Green is made out of people. They’re making our food out of people. Next thing they’ll be breeding us like cattle for food. You’ve gotta tell them. You’ve gotta tell them!” — Detective Robert Thorn from Soylent Green

“They don’t know what they’ve got there.” — Dr. Indiana Jones from Raiders of the Lost Ark

“Look how they massacred my boy. ” — Don Vito Corleone from The Godfather

I go in with the highest of hopes and sometimes I come out in ruins. The promise of suburban bliss slashed by studio MBA greed mixed with misunderstood Louis B. Mayer wisdom. For Danny Boyle‘s Sunshine, I am not going down like that. Not in this lifetime, no way. Children of Men and The Fountain got lost in the shuffle. I championed those films very hard. True, they left a lasting an impact on me. Films not for everyone, but I felt like they were for me. Let me say this, if Danny Boyle and Alex Garland want to continue exploring the science fiction genre, they have my blessing. Like Darren Aronofsky, I would gladly see to it they would always get the financing for their visions.

CrysisCrysis – PC
(Partial gameplay Trailer)

A new trailer focusing on the ‘nanosuit’ abilities of the player with a bit of cgi thrown in. Ignoring that the graphics are looking top notch. Although this gamer worries about the gameplay, it doesn’t look like this one is going to reinvent the wheel. One to watch though.

Halo 3Halo 3 – Xbox 360
(*Spoiler Alert* Developer Overview – 18 minutes long!)

I have to come clean, I’m a huge Halo fan and even for GoD I couldn’t sit through all the 18 minutes of the video incase it ruins the surprise for me. I can’t wait to play it for myself and don’t want to spoil it. Bitting the bullet, looking at the first 5 minutes or so, Halo 3 is looking in great shape. Game of the year contender.

TV Review: ‘The Universe’ — Mercury & Venus: The Inner Planets
space
Ryan Midnight   |  

The Universe - VenusThe History Channel gives us a two-for-one special in this episode of The Universe, as we take a look at the first two planets orbiting the Sun — Mercury And Venus: The Inner Planets. The episode is broken down into two parts and takes a look at the more interesting planet Venus, Earth’s “sister” planet, first and is followed by a slightly rushed look at Mercury. As both planets are solid, unlike the gaseous outer planets, the episode and the scientists interviewed are able to talk about the similarities and differences of these inner planets to Earth, and how by studying these two planets has helped to answer questions about our own planet.

Venus, named for the Roman goddess of beauty, is often referred to as Earth’s “sister” planet, due to it similar size and mass, and it was once believed that Venus was covered with oceans before space exploration gave a much more harsh and truthful image of the planet. Venus is a violent world, with temperatures exceeding 900 degrees, billions of lightening bolts arching across the sky, erupting volcanoes and lava flows stretching for miles, and clouds made of sulfuric acid. It is this cloud make up which creates a greenhouse effect on the planet and thus makes the temperature so hot. Interestingly, it was scientists studying Venus and its greenhouse gases that gave way to the discovery of the greenhouse effects currently at work here on Earth.
