George Pal’s second science fiction classic has conceptual imagination and visual wonder to spare, along with a million awkward and dated details. When rogue planets threaten to obliterate the Earth, a super-Ark spaceship is built to spirit forty ‘chosen ones’ to safety. The Ark passengers have the right stuff, but you may be enraged by the rigged process to select who gets to go. Gee-whiz spectacle is the order of the day — how many End Of The World movies actually show terra firma expunged from the Solar System? Barbara Rush and John Hoyt are the acting standouts, but top honors go to Pal’s visual effect artists and designers.

How many books and DVDs do you have on your Amazon wish list? How often do you remember to look at it? I always forget to check it, but I took a look at it today, and there are 100 items.
No, I am not soliciting here. My birthday isn’t for another six months, Chanukah and Christmas are too far off to think about, and I’m not your mother, so forget about Mother’s Day, which is this Sunday, btw – although there is Alix, whom I always alert to her mom’s new column. Big Hint, Alix!
I do have to delete some of the books and DVDs; I’ve ordered them without looking at my wish list because, well, I forget to check the damn thing, but there’s still a lot there. The oldest item was added on June 11, 2006; it’s Star Trek: The Next Generation – The Complete Third Season (DVD,...

Talk of the cast and crew of The X Files getting together again for a third movie has been lingering since I Want to Believe, which sank without trace in cinemas in 2008 - although it's actually much better when viewed at home with no pretensions of being a summer blockbuster.
David Duchovny spoke about further films back in December 2008 and in September 2011, his co-star Gillian Anderson expressed her hopes for another instalment that stayed closer to the central mythology of the show and its portent of alien invasion.
Producer Frank Spotnitz (pictured above, second from right) has now given his own views, saying he is pushing for 20th Century Fox to greenlight another film.
According to Screen Daily, Spotnitz spoke about the possibilities at the press junket for his new UK spy series Hunted, saying: "There is a very active and relentless fan campaign for a last movie. I do...
