This is a quick hi and bye from me, Jaina, the webmaster. Unfortunately i'm off aborad tomorrow and won't be back until the 4th of January. I won't be able to update the site or add news tidbits. So the site will have to be update-less for a while. So i'll wish you all a good Seasons Greetings and see you all next year!

And the reviews just keep coming. And the best part? They're all glowing reviews! Star Telegram says that Serenity is both more celver than Star Trek and Star Wars. Cinema Blend urges readers to buy the DVD and hopes for a sequel, with a good enough set of DVD sales. The Calgary Sun says that Joss Whedon has turned what could have been a generic movie, on its head. And finally SFGate.com says in 30 years time Serenity will still be remembered.

It's the time of year, the pre-awards buzz is getting going. And to make sure Serenity gets the recognition it deserves be sure to remember to vote in the Sony Ericsson Empire Awards 2006 in as many of the categories you think you can! Also for the award of the Sony Ericsson scene of the Year, Serenity's bar fight scene is short listed, so be sure to vote for that!

As the year comes to a close so come the seasonal "lists" of the year. And Serenity's not being missed out here! IGN.com placed Serenity as the best movie of 2005, stating the reason: "Serenity, Joss Whedon's big-screen version of his defunct series Firefly wasn't exactly a run-away hit at the box office. But we have a feeling that this underappreciated gem will become a sci-fi classic in time. The film is light on the kind of special effects that are typically plentiful in films of this genre, but it's big on heart, integrity and character development - something sorely lacking in too many mainstream films of any kind. To say that Serenity is an exciting, emotional rollercoaster of a film - one that has plenty of action - is not an overstatement in the least.".

And at Moviehole.net Serenity was piped to #1 in Clint's Top Ten of 2005 by Batman Begins. It did beat Star War: Revenge of the Sith, the other big sci fi movie of the year.

NewYorkMetro.com have listed Serenity as their #3 best movie - The year’s best underrated movie, courtesy of writer-director Joss Whedon’s resurrected short-lived TV series Firefly: spaceships, quips, and soaring wit—all for a relatively modest price. [Source]
