Why-Fi? How Did Sci-fi Become Such Big Business?
As any cultural historian will attest, sci-fi has always reflected our collective anxieties. Like how the Red Scare is the agreed-upon subtext of Cold War-era classics like The Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
But the hands-down bugaboo has always been Science Run Amok, and its big brother, Technology Out of Control. Nuclear penance, clones gone wild, evil robots, planets built by machines...you get the picture. But something happened on the way to the 21st Century. Let's call it Star Wars Syndrome. FX, it turns out, is irresistible.
Effects-driven extravaganzas captured the zeitgeist in a whole new way. They're sexy, and sex sells. Besides, by the time mainframes were replaced by Macs, our cultural anxieties about technology were melting away. How scary can technology be when you're under under the same roof with it?
So thank you, smart phone, tablet and laptop for calming our cultural nerves. And hat tip to Industrial Light and Magic, for illuminating our path to the Apple Store.
Sci-fi, it would appear, is here to stay. At least until somebody is attacked by a demonic iPad.

Michelle Pfeiffer comes to terms with ageing in Hollywood
London: Actress Michelle Pfeiffer is no longer consumed with
vanity when it comes to seeing herself on the big screen, insisting
she`s finally at peace with the ageing process at 55.
The `Scarface` actress has long been feted as one of Hollywood`s most beautiful leading ladies, and admits she struggled to watch herself grow older as her career progressed, reported Contactmusic.
"Once you get over a certain hump there actually is less pressure. You can begin to look great for your age. You don`t have to look young anymore.
"I`ve moved over to that other side - I`m 55, which is a little too close to 60, but looking great for my age is okay now... Having to watch yourself age on a giant movie screen is simply not natural. It can wreak havoc on your psyche," she said.

Ellie Goulding wants to be a'sex symbol'

"I`ve never made anything like FHM. I`m very offended by that. I`ve never made any of those lists. So what`s up with that? I`ve never been thought of in that way, like a sex symbol,” femalefirst.co.uk quoted Goulding as saying.

Katy Perry meditates every morning
London: Pop star Katy Perry has revealed she begins every day with a meditation session to prepare her for work.
The
28-year-old singer practices the ancient Indian technique every morning
while sitting on her bed with her eyes closed for about 20 minutes to
make sure she is relaxed and in a good mood before she starts work,
reported Contactmusic.
"I start the day with transcendental meditation. It puts me in the best mood. I wake up and just prop myself up in bed for 20 minutes. It`s the only time my mind gets absolute rest. When I`m asleep, my subconscious mind is switched on and, when I`m awake, I`m alert," Perry said.
The `Roar` hitmaker also takes vitamins to give her an afternoon `energy boost`, which she believes helps her with digestion too.
"Like everyone I have a four o`clock slump. I take vitamins after lunch and they give me an energy boost. I have iron, vitamins B, C and D and probiotics, which help with my digestion," Perry added.

Jennifer Hudson Impresses in Uneven 'WInnie Mandela' Biopic
Jumping sharply from one major point in Winnie's life to another, the script seems more focused on paying tribute to the booming beats of the woman's history than it is to delivering a fluid, cohesive story. With figures like Winnie and her husband Nelson (played in this production by Terrence Howard), it seems like an understandably frantic task to pack every influential bit into the 107-minute runtime, for fear of disrespecting their legacy. However, when the Mandelas begin to feel less like dimensional characters and more like textbook entries, the endeavor actually does a disservice to their humanistic plight. But luckily, the film never falls too far in this regard, thanks largely to the wonders worked by Hudson.
Again, you might not expect someone known best as a professional singer to be able to handle the meat of Winnie Mandela. But she manages both a vigilant strength and a pervasive compassion, laying claim to every scene all the while operating in a vat of deft chemistry with Howard. As the years pass for Winnie, Hudson too grows, handling the evolution of the character with impressive tact. The Winnie we see in the later chapters is a different woman, sure, but one firmly planted in the Winnie we meet at the start of the film — one brought to fight neighborhood boys and adhere eyes to her school books every waking minute.
While writer/director Roodt does not inject his feature with the sort of color and vivacity that a story about the Mandelas does indubitably warrant, we're rarely disengaged entirely, and that we owe to Hudson. Roodt might not have quite found the spirit of Winnie Mandela in his film, but Hudson found it in her performance.
Lance Armstrong Flix Pile Up: Dude, We Forgive You Already
Talent is circling around competing Lance Armstrong projects, all of them predicated on America's need to forgive heroes who fall. We do, but not more than once. There are currently three films in development, which is at least two too many.
Bradley Cooper is reportedly attached as producer and actor to a version Jay Roach will direct. Ben Foster has signed on to a Stephen Frears telling of the tale. And heavyweight J.J. Abrams is said to be developing a project based on Juliet Macur's Cycle Of Lies: The Fall Of Lance Armstrong, which he is rumored to have approached Cooper about.
So Hollywood appears to be closing in on filmmaker Alex Gibney's documentary about Armstrong's fall from grace, The Armstrong Lie, which just debuted at The Venice Film Festival. How will a biopic version stack up? That pretty much depends on who gets there first.

New Delhi: TV actor Sachin Parikh, currently seen in `Haunted Nights - Kaun Hai Woh?`, says graphics and art work used in the supernatural show makes it different from regular TV shows.
"The shooting and all is very different from a normal show. It consumes a lot of time and also takes a toll on you.

He also says that `Haunted Nights...` is a combination of family drama and horror, which is something that hasn’t been seen before.
“I am sure people will love it as it is a combination of family drama and supernatural thriller. There are eerie things in every episode plus there is drama...never in the past has such a show been aired," he said.
There have been supernatural shows in the past which have not worked well on television. He said that the reason for their failure is they are not aired daily due to which their continuity breaks.
“Supernatural shows have not worked as they are not shown on a regular basis. They are shown on a weekly episode basis due to which people are not able to keep up with the storyline. They break that connection and the next time it comes, they have to try and remember what happened,” said Sachin, who is also seen in the show `Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon...Ek Baar Phir`.

Naveen Andrews preferred 'Caught In Flight' to 'Diana'
Los Angeles: Actor Naveen Andrews thinks 'Caught In Flight', the
original title for new biopic 'Diana', was a more fitting name for the
movie.
The 44-year-old portrays Hasnat Khan, the former lover of the late Princess Diana, in the biopic which focuses on the last two years of the royal's life before her tragic death in August 1997, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
When quizzed on why the title was changed, Andews told BANG Showbiz: "I preferred 'Caught In Flight'! I personally don't know why it was changed. I always thought in the way the film was structured - it's about the last two years of her life - the original title made sense."
Khan started dating Diana, the mother of Prince William and Prince Harry, after meeting her in September 1995 and the pair eventually split in June 1997 after the heart surgeon decided he wouldn't be able to cope with the attention if they went public with their romance.
Naomi Watts portrays Princess Diana in the biopic.
