King of the voiceover dead.
We start with the sad news of the passing of Don LaFontaine-king of the scary movie trailer. If you have been in a cinema at any time in the last 40 years you will have heard his voice. 'Aint it cool' have collected together some of his finest work including the seminal Friday 13th trailer.

Is Sci Fi still dead?
You may remember that Ridley Scott announced the death of the Sci Fi film last year, claiming that they had become as predictable as Westerns and that nothing has ever surpassed '2001'. With Sci Fi still surving at the box office, it's interesting to revisit the feedback from the Guardian article to read the comments and to check out peoples' Sci Fi movies lists.

Red Dwarf back from the dead?
Last week, we exclusively reported that other sites were reporting a Red Dwarf comeback! Apparently the four specials will be no more than compilations of classic episodes with a few new linking scenes. However, the rumour about the film remains intact.
