Is Science Fiction theater television show on DVD?
I know it is an old show made in the 1950’s but there are many old 50’s shows on DVD
I have no idea the internet movie data base does not have it listed as being on DVD http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047767/
I sure would like it to be some day as I loved that program. It came on late at night and I would get in trouble because I wanted to stay up and watch it.

Repo! The Genetic Opera $6.99 Likening Repo! The Genetic Opera to its predecessors, Little Shop of Horrors and Rocky Horror Picture Show, conveys this film’s high camp and operatic bursts of song, but does little to describe how absolutely bizarre Repo! is. Like Rocky Horror, Repo! was written for stage performance by Darren Smith and Terrance Zdunich, who stars as a Graverobber, dolled up in vampiric makeup to resemble… |

The Handmaid’s Tale [VHS] $9.99 Set in a time when a buildup of toxic chemicals has made most people sterile, Volker Schlondorff’s film offers a disturbing view of a society under martial law in which fertile women are captured and made into handmaids to bear children for rich and infertile matrons.

Master of the World [VHS] $7.20 Inspired more by Disney’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea than the Jules Verne novels it purports to be based upon (1896’s Clipper of the Clouds and 1904’s Master of the World), this American International Pictures production is a mildly diverting period fantasy adventure, buoyed mainly by leads Vincent Price and Charles Bronson. Nineteenth-century government agent Strock (Bronson) hires Prudence (He… |

Star Trek – First Contact [VHS] $0.69 Even-numbered Star Trek movies tend to be better, and First Contact (#8 in the popular movie series) is no exception–an intelligently handled plot involving the galaxy-conquering Borg and their attempt to invade Earth’s past, alter history, and “assimilate” the entire human race. Time travel, a dazzling new Enterprise, and capable direction by Next Generation alumnus Jonathan Frakes makes this on… |

Farscape – Season 4, Collection 1 $2.05 In its fourth season, Farscape is as much dramatic and romantic fun as it’s ever been and it’s even more stylish than ever before. A pity, then, that this season is also the show’s last, following its abrupt cancellation by the Sci-Fi Channel. If at times the tone seems a little lighter here than in its gloriously doom-laden predecessor, that is because its story arc is the first half of what was … |

Books are the quietest and the most constant friends of the people. They are the most accessible and the wisest counsellors, and the most patient teachers. One should always try to read something that would make him or her look and feel good. To sit alone in the lamplight with a book spread out before you, and hold intimate conversation with men of unseen generations- such is a pleasure which one gets while reading books. In fact, books help us to enhance our language skills and expression capabilities too. Best friends, good books and an awakened conscience can be the ideal lifestyle of any literate person. The art of reading can be described as the art of acquiring a better understanding of the life. The fiction books actually comprise those literary works which include imaginative narration.
Several genres of books are available these days which would suit people of different reading habits. A huge percentage of people like encountering fantasy characters with amazing powers and imaginative islands with extraordinary features. The fiction books form a distinct genre which is a class apart from the rest. Though this genre of books rarely depict anything which can be related to the reality, these literary works have huge number of readers. Such literary works are not appreciated only by the grown ups but also by the kids.
Fiction books actually form a wide genre as various sub genres are also included under them. One can find romantic fiction novels which depict love story of imaginative people. Then there are science fiction novels which depict the combats of the evil and the good in an extravagant manner. These books also have mesmerising characters such as aliens, meteors etc to cuddle the imaginations of the readers.
However, the fiction books at times also deal with real life incidents. But, those real life situations are described in an awe inspiring manner as they contain certain fantasy elements and astounding plots too. However, certain books of this genre also have good social messages which can be appropriately used to teach the right values of life to the readers. Certain well known books of this genre are God’s Spy, The Jules Verne Collection, Glasses & Garters, and Hot! Autumn etc. All these books have been liked by the readers due to their various fantastic plots and subjects. The thrill, adventure and the excitement can be felt by the readers till the last chapter, as these books carefully sustains the tempo till the last word.

For those of us intellectuals that have children, and for those of us that read science fiction, it is nice to know that there are children’s reading books that explore science fiction concepts. If you would like to introduce your child to science fiction, then perhaps there is a book I’d like to recommend to you.
It’s one that I own and it is one that I would have my children read, to help open their minds and expand their thoughts. If this sounds like something that you might like, the book is called;
“Monsters From Outer Space,” by William Wise and illustrated by the popular Richard Cuffari (one of the world’s best illustrators for children’s books in my opinion); Part of the Weekly Reader Books Series of Columbus OH; Published by G.P. Putnam’s Sons; New York, NY; 1978; ISBN: 0-399-61089-8.
This book has great illustrations and drawings, and it tells a great story, and has information on NASA, satellites, and observatories. There is even a great illustration from the VLA Very Large Array in New Mexico, the same one that was used in the movie Contact, you will recognize the radar dome. There is also a great shot of an Apollo astronaut on the moon, and one of the 747 crew that spotted a UFO flying by.
Every once in a while a great children’s reading book comes along one which can give your children great topics to discuss with us, and one that might get their mind thinking. This is just such a book and that’s why I’d like to recommend it to you.

A woman dies and gets Hritik Roshan from Dhoom 2- Back in Action, the new version of heaven. Many a man’s dream would also be Hritik in Heaven. Such are his looks and Greek God like physique in the movie. “Can sheer gorgeousness pull off a movie?”, asks Anupama Chopra of India Today in her review of Dhoom 2. Looking at the box office receipts, it most definitely can and has done so remarkably well. The movie seems more like the ‘Hritik Roshan Show’ than anything else. He looks so hot in the movie that you could boil an egg off his abs. Talk about eye candy and the dreamboat comes to mind. For the first time I wished I were a girl and questioned my sexual orientation, the effect movies have on their audiences. The action, good looking people, the cars, the bikes and the songs, Dhoom 2 is the total package, without a story.
The thing that struck me about the movie was the character of the female leads, Aishwariya Rai and Bipasha Basu. The girls were stunning to say the least but the importance given to them was appalling. Audiences, especially girls stood in long queues to watch Hritik Roshan (Aryan, the soul of the movie) and positively loved the movie. Though few disagreed with the story, even they thought the movie was worth a watch. For the girls and women there is little other than Hritik, it is such a guy movie, with hot-hot Hritik. The character of Aishwariya Rai as the smart thief who outsmarted the best in the business is deplorable. Sunehri for all her intelligence comes across as someone who is like quite stupid. Aryan or Jai (Abhishek Bachchan, in a nothing role) make the plan and like the stupid woman she is, Sunehri like plays along.
Bipasha Basu’s character as Sonali shows a meagre trace of brains as a cop, but how can a woman threaten to match a man or worse beat him? So she breaks her foot in an attempt to nab the super thief Aryan and is out of the movie. The man Jai has to go after superman Aryan. Monali, the character of her twin sister in picturesque Rio is so dumb, she makes Uday Chopra’s character Ali look like a rocket scientist. Any girl in the right frame of mind cannot be shown falling for Uday Chopra, so her stupidity is justified. Hritik is shown as fooled by Aishwariya, who fakes her love and traps him. Not before Hritik convinces her to go ‘his way’. She agrees to whatever he says and, another score for the boys.
Apart from the clothes (stylish and equally scanty for the male and female cast) the boys still dominate and rule the movie. Could Aishwariya not be the genius criminal by outwitting both Aryan and Jai? Or maybe devise a plan of her own, to help either Jai or Aryan succeed? Maybe Sonali could do a better job at nabbing the criminal than Jai could? High time girls got the treatment they deserve, at least in fiction. Many say that it’s just a movie why bother about is so much? How much of an impact can a movie actually make? Does a movie help or worsen the cause of women? Ask the bike gangs who devised a robbery plan using bikes ala Dhoom and the emergence of bike races all over the county, or all the people who bought Dhoom 2 clothing at Pepe.
Girls in a sense are second preference in everything, even in dumbness (Monali and Ali, how can Ali be smarter than anyone or anything?). You can’t beat the guys, you can’t match the guys, what you can be though is an ornamental dressing in the man’s arms. Yet girls throng cinema halls to catch a glimpse of the movie. Which makes me ask a question, “How and why in the world did women like this movie?” Hritik surely has many takers. I loved Dhoom 2, would feel nice to have Aishwariya or Bipasha wrapped around my fingers scantily dressed and have the body of Hritik or the appeal of Abhishek, though the girls get a raw deal yet again in male-o-centric Indian Cinema.
