Majel Barrett Roddenberry, the widow of “Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry and an actress whose longtime association with the “Star Trek” franchise included playing Nurse Christine Chapel in the original series, died early Thursday morning. She was 76. When it comes down to it, she was one of the most intregal people in the whole […]

Eh, got a wild hair after reading this post by Frank J. So, top 10 of my favorite vampires, in no particular order Selene (Kate Beckinsale) in Underworld. Who wouldn’t want to be bitten and enslaved by her? The original Nosferatu (the original) Dracula (Bela Lugosi) Dracula (Frank Langella) Kurt Barlow, the vampire from Salem’s […]

I’m going to have to disagree with the Yahoo Movies users rating, and, simply give it an “Eh.” While it certainly started out well, making fun of Jihadist names, with some good old David Zucker slapstick, it went downhill from there to complete predictability and telling me stuff I already know, without being very entertaining. […]

I know there have been some folks out there who have said The Dark Night was not that good, but, like the critics at Yahoo Movies, I have to give it an A-. Excellent movie, well worth the price of admission. Heath Ledger was truly outstanding as The Joker. Initially, the character seemed a little tepid, […]

I was really looking forward to seeing Hellboy II, thought the first one was great. Couldn’t play golf this afternoon because of the coming storms, so, went to the theatre. Started out great. Then, unfortunately, got rather sappy. Wait for it on DVD.

Sigh Apparently their Muppet film is going to be incredibly old fashioned, with the familiar Muppet characters putting on a show to save an old theater (the theater from The Muppet Show?). The danger? An evil character wants to tear the place down to get at the oil underneath. It’s sort of current! Gee, I […]

It’s been said so many times, but, during WWII, filmmakers were actually rooting for America to win. Now, they release films and put snarky commentary into TV shows to root for America’s defeat, and highlight how mean and bad and at fault we are (Washington Post) After five years of conflict in Iraq, Hollywood seems […]

OK, I went to see Cloverfield this afternoon, so, let me tell you how it was (don’t worry, no spoilers) Go see the movie. Right now. What? You’re still here? Get up out of your chair, and go see the movie. Right f’ing now! I’m serious, what are you waiting for? Tell the boss you […]

I made the unfortunate mistake of renting Dragon Wars. Wow! Bad! Really bad! How can someone screw up a movie about dragons? You would think it would be easy to make a good one. Nope. Terrible, simply terrible. Save your $4.50 plus tax to rent it. This got me thinking, for some reason, about the […]
