The 12 Days of SpaceMAS 2011

We are heading into the holiday stretch and for a lot of TV watchers that can often mean absolutely nothing to watch, but for fans of monsters, magic & heroes have no fear as The 12 Days of SpaceMAS is almost here. From Thursday December 22, 2011 to Monday January 2, 2012 Space Channel will be jam packing our days with marathons of monster movies to entire seasons of TV and possible the most exciting for Whovians, the Doctor Who Christmas Special being played on Christmas Day.

Myself, I'm gearing up more for the movie marathons, especially Beast Feast Marathon over 2 Days which has a mega-load of monster movies including Mega Piranha, Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus, Mega Shark vs Crocosaurus and of course Mega Python vs Gatoroid (starring Tiffany & Debbie Gibson!). Also included in Beast Feast is shark classic Jaws and two of my faves: Deep Blue Sea and Rogue (killer crocodile!) starring Radha Mitchell & Sam Worthington and I might finally get to see the infamous Black Sheep!

There are also lots of films for dinosaurs fans (Jurrasic Park trilogy + Triassic Attack & Aztec Rex), Comic Book Hero fans with several Batman films and 2 Thor Films: The Almighty Thor and Thor: Hammer of the Gods and then the Man vs. Machine marathon with I, Robot, Demolition Man, Stealth, Transformers 1 & 2 and Starship Troopers 1 & 2. Although I think Starship Troopers is a bit of a cheat....weren't the monsters just.. bugs? Meh! No matter, it's all in good fun and it's got cool tech - perhaps they mutate to machines in the sequel.

For the TV fans there are lots of shows to catch up with including Season 1 & 2 of Merlin (great lead up to Season 4 premiere on January 7, 2012), Sanctuary Season 4 marathon, Christmas with the Doctor and Torchwood Marathon.

With so many awesome options, the true question is, what *won't* you watch?
