Check out this week’s installment of Flash Gordon, it features a special guest star – Sam Jones, the man who starred in the original 80s Flash Gordon flick. You know, the one with all the cool Queen music. Normally we at Eclipse hate stunt casting, but this could be very cool. The show will air […]
Verizon gets serious with it’s Fall Lineup of Phones. By Jenny Zwick
Verizon finally gets serious about the competition and has some sweet phones coming this Christmas. The LG Voyager is the first phone offered by Verizon Wireless that–like the Apple iPhone–has a large external touch screen. Flip up the screen and there’s also a full QWERTY keypad underneath. The LG Voyager, which is exclusive to Verizon […]
Zune could finally compete with the iPod. By Jenny Zwick
Last year Microsoft launched the first version of its wannabe iPod killer, the Zune last year to a big fat yawn from the public and tech critics alike. The original device was pretty fugly from a hardware standpoint, its colors muted and drab, and the software itself pretty lame. There was just no compelling reason […]
Eureka’s Season Ender is Satisfying. Michelle Alexandria’s Review.
This has been a year of discovery for me and one of those finds has been the quirky Sci-Fi show Eureka. When I met the cast at their Vancouver set, I had no clue what the show was about or even what I was looking at. And it seemed like 75 percent of the assembled […]
Alienware Area 51-7500, the Ultimate Dream Desktop. Michelle Alexandria’s Review
A few months ago I asked my friends at Alienware to send me their latest and greatest desktop computer, the Area 51-7500 ALX, and the minute I received it, I remembered why I decided to go with Alienware’s m9700 beast of a laptop for my personal computer – which I paid for out of my […]

The Kingdom: Earnest Efforts Falls Short! By Sheldon Wiebe
Peter Berg’s The Kingdom is a slick action flick masquerading as a statement movie. Despite a great cast and high production values – it fails on both terms because of a wrong-headed in the third act.
Across The Universe: All You Need Is Beatles Music!
Julie Taymor’s Across The Universe is a polarizing film – I strongly doubt there will be viewers who walk out of it with “take it or leave it” attitude. It’s a saga of four intertwined journeys, all connected by visuals that cry out to be referred to as psychedelic, and the music of the Beatles […]
In The Valley of Elah, Michelle Alexandria’s Review.
It’s that time of the year where all the Oscar Wannabe films start to trickle out and one of those films that is getting a lot of early buzz is “In the Valley of Elah” a political thriller about the death of an Soldier who is home on leave. This film has all the pedigree […]
Feast of Love isn’t for everyone. Michelle Alexandria’s Review
Ah, Feast of Love, what is there to say about this overlong, pretentious rumination on the many forms of Love? Morgan Freeman gives one of his textbook quiet performances as a retired professor, Harry Stevenson, who sits around and observes life through the eyes of others in a small Oregon town.
The Gameplan Kind of Works. Michelle Alexandria’s Review!
I’ve been a fan of the Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson since his debut in the WWE, he’s one of the few (ok, only wrestlers) to truly crossover and have a decent film career. I’m not counting Hulk Hogan (Mr. Mom, anyone?). After trying his hand as an action hero, he does what all big wannabe […]
