Comicpalooza, Texas' premier comic book and pop culture convention, is gearing up for its Memorial Day weekend run in Houston (May 25–27). And while last year was great, this year there's something very special planned.
With a lineup crammed full of stars such as Michael Biehn (The Terminator, The Victim), Kevin Sorbo (Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, Andromeda), Sean Patrick Flanery (The Boondock Saints), Claudia Christian (Babylon 5), George Takei (Star Trek) and Kristin Bauer (True Blood), the upcoming convention is already pretty extraordinary. But Comicpalooza founder John Simons has devised an event to make 2012's fest even more kickass...if that's even possible.
Simons had an epiphany recently. "The next best thing to being a sci-fi or action hero," Simons told me, "has to be shooting a sci-fi or action hero with a gun — or maybe being shot by one." And this simple thought led him to conceive a bit of »

A review of soundtracks and scores released the week of April 10, 2012.
Think Like a Man: Music From & Inspired By the Film – Various Artists
Think Like a Man is a comedy based on the book Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man by Steve Harvey. The film follows four couples as the women use advice from Steve Harvey’s relationship book against the men while the men discover this and try to use that knowledge against the women.
This is a relationship film that contains an almost completely African-American cast. It’s no surprise this has an R&B-heavy soundtrack.

Upcoming movie The Whole Banana may feature elements of ancient Greek mythology but, as the whimsical title suggests, it's far removed from any of the other recent productions that have clashed their immortal titans on the big screen.
Instead of a gritty action film with furious gods and fire-spewing fiends locked in deadly battle, you will find a heartwarming tale of charm and humour that promises to show us what it means to be human.
Filming is under way in Los Angeles on the romantic comedy, whose all-star cast of movie and TV favourites includes Kevin Sorbo (Hercules) and Kristy Swanson (Buffy), with large cameo roles from Matthew Perry (Friends) and Dean Cain (Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman). We previously reported that Resident Evil actress Sienna Guillory and the Farley brothers had also signed on to the production.
The story sees the Greek god Hermes (Sorbo) help a »

They may not be household names like their A-list colleagues, but the actors on this list have appeared in some of our all-time favourite geek movies...
Some actors dabble in sci-fi; others dip their toe into fantasy; some may even make an appearance in the odd horror film - all before returning to the safety of the genres in which they feel more comfortable - perhaps a nice, award-chasing period drama, or a well-paid romantic comedy.
A-listers may see the geeky films that we on this site enjoy and celebrate as fun little side-projects, but there are actors out there who commit full-time to these types of movies. It is high time, therefore, that we credited these individuals with the recognition they deserve.
Besides the stipulation that, in order to be included, an actor had to still be alive and working today, there were no strict criteria that had to »

It is a truth universally acknowledged by all sitcom fans that NBC has some major issues to work out.
In the 1990's NBC was the home of "Must See TV." Their programming slate was anchored by powerhouse sitcoms like Cheers, Seinfeld, Frasier, Will & Grace, and of course, Friends.
Nowadays, shows like 30 Rock, Parks and Recreation and Community are the favorites of comedy nerds and critics alike, but they fail to bring in the ratings that CBS's machine of multi-camera fare does. When Whitney debuted last fall, it caused a wave of anxiety in the hearts of many alternative comedy fans because it signaled that NBC wanted to perhaps transition away from expensive single-camera fare. The single-camera sitcom typically costs more to produce (in both time and money) and presently seems to bring in higher ratings.
So how does NBC monetarily compete with ABC and CBS (who are pulling in bigger »
