Second Trek

I went to see the new Star Trek film at the Genesis for a second time. It is very rare for me to do this but I thought this was a film that deserved a second viewing. The last time I did this was for the Lord of the Rings films, which I enjoyed much […]

For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky

***** SPOILER ALERT *****     ***** SPOILER ALERT *****     ***** SPOILER ALERT *****
I did it. I went to see Star Trek. Was it as good as I wanted it to be? No, it could never be. Is it a good film? It is a bloody great film.
JJ Abrams’ Star Trek reboot is a masterpiece of SF […]

Wolvereve

Today is the day. I will be visiting the cinema this evening to see the most eagerly anticipated movie of the year, for me anyway. At 8.30 tonight I will be sitting on the front row of Screen 1 in Mile End Road’s Genesis Cinema. Guess which film it is. Go on. No, not Hanna […]

Tiberius Trailer

My excessive excitement about the impending Star Trek film is reaching unnatural extremes. I may do myself an injury. I cannot wait to see this film. Just released is the new trailer. This is two minutes of prime spectacle. I implore you to go and watch this right now.
You will be able to view the […]

President Geek

You may not know this but the United States of America has a new President. That’s right. His name is Barack Obama and he is now the most powerful human in the universe after taking over from that most famous of fools and thieves George W. Bush. Unlike Bush he seems to be a decent […]

I’m A Doctor, Not An Escalator

In the few months before the release of the new Star Trek film I am trying to watch a number of episodes of the Original Series, or TOS if you prefer. One I watched recently was called Friday’s Child. It was an average episode about the crew of the Enterprise becoming entangled in a planet’s […]

New Trek Pics

Now this is exciting. Well, it is exciting for me – being a Trekker and all. As you know I am really looking forward to the new Star Trek film and all reports suggest that it will be brilliant. (I will eat a hat if it is not – only a chocolate hat mind.)
Paramount has […]

The Conscience of the King

I recently watched an old episode of Star Trek: The Original Series, or ST:TOS if you are so inclined. The episode was called ‘The Conscience of the King’ and is considered to be an unrecognised classic of the series.
The episode is about Kirk crossing paths with an actor suspected of having been a murderous dictator […]

Star Trailer

Whilst in the cinema waiting for Cloverfield to begin I was greatly anticipating the trailers. I was expecting to see the teaser trailer for the upcoming Star Trek film. Cloverfield is produced by J.J. Abrams, who has also directed the eleventh Star Trek film, due in cinemas in December. Disappointedly, there was no trailer.
Don’t worry […]

Reality Time Shift

I literally time travelled yesterday. Yeah! It was brilliant. One moment all my clocks said 1pm and 15 minutes later they all said 12.15. I’d travelled an hour into the past. I don’t think it was just me either – the whole country partook in it’s own temporal back step. It made me feel a […]
