US Books
Received
- Here's our list of the books that have come in along with a few
comments and links for more information.
UK Books
by John Berlyne - It's not all blue skies for our man in the UK, as he
endures a stormy August and rails against the postal
service...fortunately he's got some good books to cheer him up.
Ivory and Ivy
by Edward Carmien - Our resident academic finds that
everyone's too busy going back to class to actually publish academic
texts, so he takes the opportunity to rant a bit...at doorstoppers.
DamnAlien
DVDs
- Those Damn Aliens - good movies may be our only defense
against alien's meddling with space probes. Looking at this month's DVD
releases we're in big trouble.
 Media: Sky
Captain and the World of Tomorrow - a
techno-retro-tour de force. Terrific Sci-Fantasy courtesy of CGI and fun
to watch...but the least interesting part is the story. But the story
clearly wasn't the point.
 Innocence
- Ghost in the Shell II - Fans of the classic SF anime Ghost in the
Shell have something to look
forward to as the story continues. A
 hit
at Cannes, opening to a limited US run September 17th.
Suspect
Zero - Do you miss the X-Files? If so, this spooky serial killer
flick may fill the void for you.
