People who don’t know much about me probably wouldn’t guess that I’m a huge Star Trek fan. But the facade of being normal cracks at the seams, once you start noticing Trek-themed coasters sitting around my apartment.
Rest assured, J.J. Abrams’ reboot of Star Trek was, in my opinion, the bee’s knees, only outdone this year [...]
Screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci along with Dreamworks aim to get their hands on Xombie. The material originated from a Flash animated series created by James Farr which blossomed into several issues of comics. The story revolves around a monster named Dirge who protects a little girl so she can reunite with her family. [...]
If Inglourious Basterds hadn’t come along, J.J. Abram’s Star Trek would still be my very favorite movie of the summer. It’s exactly the sort of movie a summer season deserves, and it functions perfectly as both a prequel and a sequel.
At the same time, it also opens the floodgates for a thousand new interesting stories [...]
With the summer movie season of 2009 drawing to a close, it’s time to look back at the ten films that made us laugh, cry, howl and above all entertain us. Now bear in mind while films like The Hurt Locker and Moon saw release over this summer, they won’t be included here as this [...]
It’s likely you’ve seen Clifton Collins Jr. but haven’t known it. He took on Captain Kirk and company as Ayel, Nero’s right hand man in Star Trek as well as making Chev Chelios’ life more of a living hell as El Huron in Crank: High Voltage. Entertainment has spanned his family for generations, notably with [...]
With June now leaving us, this marks the midway point of the year. It also means Comic Con, District 9, the 2009 NFL Season (GO STEELERS), my birthday, and Christmas are all around the corner. It also means it’s time to take a look at as of right now are the ten best films of [...]
Critics be damned. Michael Bay’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen made $112 million over this past weekend, making it the first $100 million weekend winner of 2009. This brings the action extravaganza to a staggering total of $203.8 million domestically, but love of giant fighting robots isn’t only held by Yanks. Globally Transformers 2 has [...]
According to a brief interview conducted by Collider, J.J. Abrams is excited for Star Trek 2. But will the director be back to direct the sequel to one of the summers biggest (and best) movies, Star Trek?
“It’s about that kind of feeling, like ‘oh my god, I can’t wait to do that!’ I won’t be [...]
Coming at you now and every Friday from here on is a new thing we’re calling The Wrong Guess where I’ll do my best to predict what the weekend totals for the box office.
First we’re going to take a look at the top five from last week and I may have been the only one [...]
Paramount is shifting it’s focus to franchise films & more control over it’s slate in hopes to generate profits. Investors were particularly pleased with the success of Star Trek although Paramount remains in the red with losses of $123 million in the first quarter of 2009 alone. “We weren’t in control of our release slate [...]
Well now we begin what I like to know mainly as the box office waltz, where each summer movie at this moment that gets released (and is big time) gets a slice of the number one spot. It doesn’t happen all summer though, usually lasts until the start or mid-June, but the latest Ron Howard [...]
Many sorts beamed their way towards their local movie theater or IMAX in order to see the latest sci-fi romp of the ongoing franchise in J.J. Abram’s Star Trek, and boy did they prove it. Not only did Star Trek beat out The Dark Knight in the highest box office gross for IMAX showings across [...]
