Whether they’re male or female, old or young, they’ve illuminated some classic movies. Here’s our top 50 list of sci-fi heroes and heroines…

On the face of it, compiling a list of truly great sci-fi protagonists should be easy. Pick a load of familiar names from a hat, write some breathlessly adoring drivel beneath them, and head off to the pub to reward a job well done.

Except it was never going to be as simple as that – and compiling lists seldom is. For every character making an appearance in the list below, there were at least two other possible candidates who didn't quite make the cut. Some sci-fi heroes were removed, then quickly reinstated. The order was jiggled around, then reordered again.

At one point, your humble writer realised there were more than 50 entries, and then had the unenviable task of hunting back through to decide which poor soul to eliminate. »

Joe Dante is the man who brought us Gremlins, Innerspace and The ‘Burbs in the 1980s, then took us all the way to the small TV-land town of Eerie, Indiana before a tussle with some Small Soliders only to return to the big screen in 3D no less with his nightmare inducing The Hole from 2009.

The ever wonderful FilmClub are hosting a webchat with the director and you can follow along and get involved right now. We have thrown our questions into the ring (we wanted to know about the proposed remake of Gremlins and if 3D is the future of cinema) so we’re hopeful he’ll get to answer those.

Oh, and if you’re a fan of very cool things indeed then you must check out Trailers from Hell.  Just….trust me.

It all kicks off at 4pm so get stuck in by clicking below.

Dennis Quaid and Michael Chiklis may star in a new CBS TV show. THR reports that the actors are in talks to star in the 1960's-set drama based on the true story of Ralph Lamb, "a rodeo cowboy-turned-longtime sheriff in Las Vegas. Quaid would star, with Chiklis playing opposite him as a Chicago mobster who moves to Vegas." 

This would be Quaid's first time starring in a TV show. Chiklis is no stranger to TV, having starred in The Shield and ABC’s No Ordinary Family. The pilot is being written and exec produced by Greg Walker and Nicholas Pileggi along with James Mangold. Quaid's film roles have not been too great lately, so this might be the perfect fit for the actor. What is your favorite Dennis Quaid movie? I loved him in Innerspace and The Day After Tomorrow.

Footloose, the 2011 remake of the Kevin Bacon-starring 1984 dance movie, is coming to DVD/Blu-Ray on March 6th! While I'm sure most dismissed this film as a horrible idea, I have a particular connection to this film because I live in the same town--Memphis, Tn--as the director, Craig Brewer! We've met and talked, and he is a very nice man. I know it's not a geek movie, but it's been reviewed on GeekTyrant Weekly.

The acting in the film is incredible. They are not Glee rejects or bland, unimaginative line-readers. These are quality actors who deeply care about making their performances real and believable. Like his extremely light and athletic counterpart, Kenny Wormald will be springing from near obscurity to the top of the spotlight. He is much better than Zac Efron and Chase Crawford would ever have been. Likewise, Julianne Hough's performance personifies the vivacious Southern bad girl »
