It’s been a while since I’ve watched a low-budget sci-fi action movie that wants to be a big-budget sci-fi movie but that’s exactly what you get with Space Wars: Quest For The Deepstar. The filmmakers did not let a lack of funds get in the way of lots of CGI, huge monsters, spacecraft and futuristic weaponry!
In Space Wars: Quest For The Deepstar we see various groups of people crossing paths across the galaxy all linked basically in wanting to kill each other. Of course, we do get the ‘good guys’, the father and daughter duo of Kip (Michael Pare) and Taylor (Sarah French). They soon get chased by a group of outlaws when they pick up...

British film director Mike Hodges_, Hodges’ career spanned from crime dramas, to sci-fi, to horror, and vibrant space-operas.
Hodges was born in Bristol in 1932, and his directing career began in 1968 when he helmed the TV series adaptation of kids’ adventure The Tyrant King. He made his feature debut with Get Carter, starring Michael Caine as London gangster Jack Carter who returns to Newcastle seeking revenge for his brother’s suspicious death. The film remains a classic of the British crime genre, hailed for its atmosphere, its intensity, and Caine’s tough performance. From there, Hodges went on to direct comedy-thriller Pulp in 1972, once again starring Caine, and followed it up with an adaptation of Michael Crichton’s sci-fi horror The Terminal Man in 1974. He was hired as director on Damien: The Omen II but left the project not long into production after clashing with producers, and received a writing credit.

In this roundup from the Encore and Mumbrella Annual, we look back at the seven most disliked on-air personalities from the last 12 months.
1. Kyle Sandilands
While the public don’t seem to like Kyle Sandilands all that much, his Sydney breakfast radio show remains number one among the FM commercial stations.
2. Matthew Newton
Broadcasters and producers have stayed away from the troubled Matthew Newton who has been diagnosed with a mental illness and is living in the Us. It looks unlikely he will return to our screens any time soon.
3. Sam Newman
Newman is no stranger to public backlash and has been hauled over the coals for sexist and racist on-air comments. In May he angered anti-drug advocates when he pretended to smoke a bong on TV.
4. Ben Cousins
The good-looking Ben Cousins should be perfect talent but he has struggled with drug issues in the media spotlight and, as recently as April this year,...

In his first four months in the job, Seven’s new programming boss Angus Ross has faced tough competition from rival networks and seen his key shows take a ratings dip, but he tells Brooke Hemphill the game is only just getting started.
Torrential rain is pelting against the windows of Seven’s offices in Sydney’s Pyrmont as Angus Ross poses for Encore’s photographer. “Let’s go for a less serious shot,” the photographer suggests. “Can I get a smile?” Ross acquiesces although he tells the photographer: “You haven’t caught me on my best day.”
