Problems arise for the SG-1 team when they are exposed to a virus on their latest trip through the gate. The virus slowly turns them into animalistic creatures incapable of reason, and the entire Stargate Command (SGC) may be in trouble.

Stargate SG-1 (1997) – Children of the Gods
I loved the sense of wonder and adventure that the original Stargate film made me feel when I watched it, but I was reticent to dive into the series until well after the first season was released to DVD. My friend Dennis loved it, and swore by it and said I should give it a…
The X-Files (1994) – 3, and One Breath
Scully (Gillian Anderson) is still missing, and Mulder (David Duchovny) heads off to L.A. to investigate possible vampires, or at least blood fetishists in the first real clunker of season two, 3.

The Day After Tomorrow (2004) – Roland Emmerich
Happily with this film, my time with Roland Emmerich comes to a close, as I take a look at The Day After Tomorrow for the Sci-Fi Chronicles book.

This fall, specifically, October 17, sees the premiere of this highly anticipated science fiction drama from Brad Wright, the creator of the Stargate television franchise, and producer, star, Eric McCormack (Will & Grace, Perception) – Travelers. The most basic of story explanations, which does not do the stunning opening episode justice, is this: a group…
Stargate (1994) – Roland Emmerich
The adventures continue with the Sci-Fi Chronicles book, as I kcik back and enjoy Kurt Russell and James Spader in this science fiction actioner that seems to be heavily influenced by Chariots of the Gods, and wonderfully marries Egyptian mythology, with action, and space opera. Long before the successful television series, Colonel Jack O’Neil…
Godzilla (1998) – Rolamd Emmerich
It had to happen sooner or later, there was bound to be some crossover from the Sci-Fi Chronicles book and the Great Movies – 100 Years of Film book… and it just had to be this one. Roland Emmerich’s 1998 Godzilla film, which for the Sci-Fi book continues my exploration of the Godzilla character,…
