Forces of Geek "A History of Sci-Fi Cinema" Column

The fine folks over at Forces of Geek have allowed me the space and time to ramble on about the history of science fiction cinema.  These bi-weekly columns, will make an attempt, however feeble, at discussing the history of this often chided cinematic genre.  From its birth to the latest CGI box office hits, I will take a look at the films that have filled the genre, as well as their literary influences and TV offshoots.  In this episode, my first in the series, I take a look at the works of Jules Verne and H.G. Welles, and how they influenced the genre, and Georges Méliès, and how he helped shape said genre.
