Before The Matrix, before Star Wars, before Ender’s Game and Neuromancer, there was Dune: winner of the prestigious Hugo and Nebula awards, and widely considered one of the greatest science fiction novels ever written. Melange, or ‘spice’, is the most valuable – and rarest – element in the universe; a drug that does everything from increasing a person’s life-span to making intersteller travel possible. And it can only be found on a single planet: the inhospitable desert world Arrakis. Whoever controls Arrakis controls the spice. And whoever controls the spice controls the universe. When the Emperor transfers stewardship of Arrakis...

The Devore Warship has painstakingly been recreated in die-cast with extraordinary attention to detail capturing the ships menacing design, its sensor arrays in a light blue and its most notable fe… A fantastic looking ship from an episode of Voyager that really did it for me. Buy On Amazon!

The U.S.S. Excelsior Prototype Mk I starship has painstakingly been recreated in die-cast with extraordinary attention to detail capturing the details of the ship. Originally designed for STAR TREK… A strange looking model that apparently did have a brief moment on screen during the Wolf 359 destruction, this was a contender for the Excelsior used in Star Trek 3. Happily it wasn’t used though and instead we got a ship with ample nacelles and a thicc undercarriage. This magazine has a 6 page interview from 2002 with Leonard Nimoy, director of Star Trek 3 Buy On Amazon!

Directed by John Sturges. With Gregory Peck, Richard Crenna, David Janssen, James Franciscus. Three American astronauts are stranded in space when their retros won’t fire. Can they be rescued before their oxygen runs out? It took me forever to find a copy of this film, which really isn’t all that notable or memorable except for the fact that it came out just a few months before the Apollo 13 disaster, and other than a couple minor changes, this is the same story.

Directed by James McTeigue. With Hugo Weaving, Natalie Portman, Rupert Graves, Stephen Rea. In a future British tyranny, a shadowy freedom fighter, known only by the alias of “V”, plots to overthrow it with the help of a young woman. The role that put Natalie Portman in the “I shaved my head for this?” actress category, this is the movie that sold a million masks to impressionable teens who thought they were making a deep political statement by buying into the corporate movie tie in. I thought about buying one at one point, but I didn’t want to be associated...

Created by Alex Garland. With Sonoya Mizuno, Nick Offerman, Jin Ha, Cailee Spaeny. A computer engineer investigates the secretive development division in her company, which she believes is behind the disappearance of her boyfriend. It took me the better part of a month to get through the few episodes that the story has, it’s a very slow and deliberate show, with some big questions about what reality is. There’s action every couple episodes, but whew man this is not a show to watch whilst hungover or sleepy. Buy On Amazon!

They dared to risk it all in a skiff of reeds or leather, on a ship of wood or steel, knowing the only thing between them and certain death was their ship. It’s an art book, so it’s a quick ‘read’. Some of the pieces seem nearly amateur, but I recognize some pretty big names mixed in with those, so I’m not entire sure what they were going for. This is actually the second copy of this book that I’ve owned, the first one was purchased via ebay and the binding had completely ripped out the pages of the book,...

Directed by Jeff Fowler. With Ben Schwartz, James Marsden, Jim Carrey, Tika Sumpter. After discovering a small, blue, fast hedgehog, a small-town police officer must help him defeat an evil genius who wants to do experiments on him. Found it on sale for just $2, so hell yeah I watched it again! It’s still the same heartfelt love letter to active nostalgia that it was a few months ago, only this time it was IN MY HOUSE. Buy On Amazon!

Directed by Antony Hoffman. With Val Kilmer, Carrie-Anne Moss, Tom Sizemore, Benjamin Bratt. Astronauts, and their robotic dog AMEE (Autonomous Mapping Evaluation and Evasion), search for solutions to save a dying Earth by searching on Mars, only to have the mission go terribly awry. Walks right up to the line of being cheesy science fiction but don’t go over it at all. I had forgotten how enjoyable this film was, it was released right after The Matrix and Carrie-Anne Moss was fresh in my mind. Buy On Amazon!
