After much debate about the movie's future following the recent controversy surrounding Mel Gibson, the trailer for The Beaver is finally online.

The movie was set to be Mel Gibson's definitive comeback performance, before his phone-rant antics shoved it into release limbo.

The Beaver is now looking at a spring 2011 release, and you can check out the trailer below (that's the new poster above, too).

There are some pretty strong credentials here: it's based on a Black List script,…

Using Star Trek to Address iPad Haters

Yes, I love Apple. I will get that right out of the way, but things haven’t always been rosy. My first computer was an Apple IIe that I absolutely adored to death, but if anyone remembers Apple in the 90′s, they will know why I didn’t return to Mac until 2003 after three windows machines. Since then, I haven’t looked back, and I have never felt more excitement for an Apple product than the iPad.…

‘Star Trek’ Deleted Scene – Nero Interrogated by Klingons

Monkey 1 — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 05:14:24 +0000

Each time I've watched J.J. Abrams' Star Trek I've wondered why the hell it took Nero all that time, from the death of Kirk's dad to Kirk being old enough to become a Starfleet officer, to show himself again. The answer seems to be that Nero was actually captured by the Klingons and imprisoned the whole time.

Following is a deleted scene from the upcoming Star Trek DVD and Star Trek Blu-ray release that was premiered on Spike TV at…

Zoe Saldana

At last, Zoe Saldana finally wins an award! She's been nominated for so many awards over the last few years that she hasn't won it's ridiculous, and after recently being beaten by Megan Fox for 'Best Sci Fi Actress' at the Spike TV Scream Awards 2009, it looked like a trend that might continue.

Spike TV's 2009 Scream Awards played out on Saturday, October 17, honoring achievements in science fiction, fantasy and horror. These are awesome awards that make a mockery of both the Oscar's and the Emmy's, so good job Spike TV!

The big wins this year go to J.J. Abrams' Star Trek, followed by Transformers:…
