Syfy's Summer of Schlock

23 June 2009 4:01 PM, PDT | From DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news

The Sci-Fi Channel's name change to Syfy makes me think of a scene from the classic miniseries "Roots". The evil white man wanted to change Kunta Kinte's name to Toby. They whipped him until he said it. Afterwards, a fellow African told him they can call him whatever they want; he knows his true name is Kunta Kinte. Bonnie Hammer can use that bullwhip on me all she wants; I know that Syfy will always be Sci-Fi, and not just because the words are pronounced exactly the same.

Sat, July llth: Sand Serpents - At an isolated Taliban outpost in Afghanistan, a small platoon of Us soldiers faces a danger far greater than fanatical rebels: giant worm-like creatures that come up through the sand and devour everything in their path. Their inexperienced lieutenant has to lead them across the treacherous desert to a rendezvous point where an army helicopter will

Malibu Shark Attack swims in

18 June 2009 12:39 PM, PDT | From Fangoria.com | See recent Fangoria news

Fango spoke to longtime New Zealand producer Dale Bradley, who tackled his first job in Australia with Malibu Shark Attack, a killer-fish film that lensed in Queensland under the title Goblin Shark Attack and premieres on the Sci Fi Channel (which co-produced the movie, and is soon to be known as Syfy) this summer. Bradley passed on a couple of production pics (see them below), and explains the flick’s odd original moniker.

The onscreen predators “are based on a species called goblin sharks [see art at bottom], which don’t look like your normal great white,” Bradley tells us. “They’re very fearsome-looking creatures. Ours are actually larger than the real thing, but modeled on them for the look that the CG company created. People do catch these things, but ours are monsters that get released from a big underground cavern during a seaquake. The resulting tsunami washes them ashore. Not only do

Previews: Land Of The Lost vs. Baywatch : Our Summer with The SyFy Channel!

27 April 2009 6:51 AM, PDT | From doorQ.com | See recent doorQ.com news

SyFy... do I really have to spell it that way? ... is kicking up its summer season shortly with a bevy of content that you'll either find fun and frothy or will force you claw your eyes out with mellon-ballers. 

Either way, the pain is the same.

Oh, I kid! I love the SyFy Channel.  It's like your Uncle Zebbidiah who mutters an endless series of amusing but quite incomprehensible babblings; you keep inviting him over because, well, he's family and it's your duty to look after him, insanity and all. Plus, every once in a while, he plays a great hand of poker.

Coming up this summer is the return of Eureka on July 10th and Ghost Hunters on July 8th. 

New this summer is Warehouse 13 an action / comedy about the people who look after all that strange magical and extra-terrestrial stuff we always hear about but never quite see.
