I Love The 4400 Theme Song…So What’s Your Favorite Sci-Fi Theme Song?

The theme song for The 4400 is just fantastic. So I came up with an idea. I am going to start compiling some “Top Twenty” lists for Closet Sci-Fi Geek. Why 20 and not the usual 10? Well…why not?
So what are your favorite sci-fi theme songs? I will be doing lists for both television and [...]

Things I Like About the New Battlestar Galactica

I have previously criticized the new Battlestar Galactica in favor of Farscape. And while Farscape still has to be my favorite sci-fi television show of all time, I’ve been warming up to Battlestar Galactica after finally getting through season one. A few things I do really like:

(And hey, what a concept – science fiction with some real acting in it.) But it’s the excessive parallels with earth life that still bug me. For example, Helo is back on [...]

The Island: An Underrated Box Office Bomb That Deserved Better

When I finally caught The Island on DVD, I was surprised at how good it was, considering how poorly it did at the box office. It’s got action, suspense, nifty special effects, a bit of a twist, and two extremely good-looking stars, Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson, wearing very tight costumes.
All that, and Steve Buscemi. [...]
