Sci-Fi Saturday night rudeness

For those of you who posted to the blog comments about what Sci-Fi Saturday night said I have no comment and will not trash talk on the air tonight or on a blog. My rant about Blockbuster bring back late fees, or the fact Legion and Day Breakers started the horror genre on a sucky note for the year are different.  Those are thoughts  that don’t hurt any one, when you make a movie or do a dum corporate move, than you leave your self open to major thumbs down attitude. I have nothing to say about this matter  Again thank you to those who brought this to my attention.

The End of Lost and 24

Two shows I have followed for many years have at long last come to an end. I have watched every episode and stayed glued to my seat for every twist and turn of events. Now only one of these shows has anything to do with  what we cover on Radio of Horror. But I had to say something about these amazing shows one to never return and another with a story yet to tell.

Jack Bauer (played by Keifer Sutherland who has endured more torture than anyone else I know on tv) has saved the USA from terrorists plots over and over and over again. The show started in 2001 after 9/11 was on hiatus thru 2008 with  only a made for TV movie. When it returned we got two more seasons. Tonight the show ended, with Jack as a fugitive on the run from the law. He tried to bring to light a conspiracy that took the life of Rene Walker. We do have a 24 movie in the works for 2012, in the mean time we have to wonder what is going to happen next for Bauer. Many great characters, President David Palmer, Bill Bucanon, Chole Sullivan, Tony Almeda, Charles Logan and so many more. 24 changed tv in ways we may never see again. There had never been a show like it before. It will be greatly missed.

There had been shows with mythology type story lines before they came from great tv like the X-Files, this show had everything from great literature references to stuff about Star Wars. It was a show at times was very creepy but still fun to watch for it had humor in the most off beat places. A lot of people tried to follow the flashback flash forward upside-down world of the show. ( SPOILER ALERT The side ways universe was really Heaven.) In the Series finale Jack and the gang now filled with a sence of purpose decide to take down the Smoke Monster who’s been pretending to be John Locke since last season once and for all. We got the origins of Jacob and the Man in Black and Richard this season after much wait and anticipation. It was nice to see who the true choice was to protect the island, it makes sence in away you would have to understand after watching the show. Lost will have many questions to answer for years to come. A big dvd box set is coming out and it may just answer those questions we have been seeking. Check out the Lost unplugged videos on www.abc.com, they are hosted by a Muppet version of Dr. Peire Chang (Miles chang’s father)

Hammer Horror

After much delay I finally got a chance to watch the Hammer film, Beyond the Rave . It may not be the classic stuff from the 50s and 60s but it is pretty good none the less. It’s about a soldier in the British Air force about to go to Iraq to fight in the war. He decided to go to a rave in search of his girl friend, but finds out the rave is being used to feed Vampires. It originally aired on MySpace as a web show and is now collected on dvd. Hammer made some great films in the classic golden age of Horror. Christopher Lee returns to Hammer this year. He teams with Hilary Swank and Jeffery Dean Morgan. Lee goes together with Horror like Stan Lee and Comic Books. (no relation). We will be having another Hammer tribute show coming up. We hope to get an expert on Hammer on the show next time.

Here is a great video on youtube showing some of the great sexy and fantastic woman of the Hammer film collection

Darkseid coming to Smallville??

If you saw what happened at the end of Smallville tonight then you might think, was that Granny Goodness? the woman in charge of the furies on Apocolyps. Darkseid is one of the darkest charecters in the DC Universe, and would be a great way to begin the final season next year.

Splice Sneek Peek this Monday

If you want to see the new horror/sci-fi movie Splice then go to gofobo.com/rsvp type in the code ROH3950. This Monday  at the Boston commons at 900pm, then  you get to meet the director as well.

Superstar genetic engineers Clive (Adrien Brody) and Elsa (Sarah Polley) specialize in splicing together DNA from different animals to create incredible new hybrids.  Now they want to use human DNA in a hybrid that could revolutionize science and medicine.  But when the pharmaceutical company that funds their research forbids it, Clive and Elsa secretly conduct their own experiments.  The result is Dren, an amazing, strangely beautiful creature that exhibits uncommon intelligence and an array of unexpected physical developments.  And though, at first, Dren exceeds their wildest dreams, she begins to grow and learn at an accelerated rate—and threatens to become their worst nightmare.
