The return of Star Trek is almost upon us. Tried to stay spoiler-free but with all the fantastic footage out there, on the internet and television I'm way too curious to pass it up. I just purchased the soundtrack for the new movie and have visualizing the score in context to the images I've seen. The motion picture score breathes new life into the franchise. It could stand as on of the best of

I just began re-watching the BSG mini series and season one. I saw this when it first aired back '03 and really liked it. Mind you I was a huge BSG TOS fan growing up, but this updating took a little getting used to. Gone was Lorne Greene, the crazy Egyptian inspired flight helmets, centons, felgercarb, Cassiopia, daggits and the imperious leader. Instead there was a female Starbuck, a drunkard

Battlestar is back with the final ten episodes and what a gut punch it has been. If you have not been following this show you owe it to yourself to watch this awesome series. I don't want to spoil the episodes or story arcs but it must be seen to be believed. This year it seems that the show has returned to it's roots in season one. Much darker with some pretty heavy subjects tackled and a good

Happy Holidays everyone! I hope it was safe and relaxing. Mine was hectic as always but a great way to close out the year. Just before Christmas I picked up a copy of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey on Blu-ray. I watched New Years day and I'll give you a short review. As a side note I watched the film on a new Panasonic 50 inch 1080p plasma TV connected to a Sony BDP s350 Blu-ray

One the best film discussion pod casts ever and my personal fav, The Hollywood Saloon is shutting down production. Bummer. John and Andy are moving on to different things. Citing irreconcilable differences, the guys are going there own separate ways. Best of luck guys and I wish you well in the future. Anybody is a film fan should check out their web site, and give the shows a listen. Thought

Sorry about the long lay off but I start a new position at work longer hours and a longer commute combined with parental duties and other commitments didn't give me much time. A lot has happened since I last blogged, I haven't kept up with watching Terminator: SCC. The only prime time show I watch now is Heroes which is steadily regaining lost momentum from seasons 1&2. I did however pick up

I watched this show last season and was sceptical that it would return for a second season. The show started out shaky with some bad storytelling, and ill defined characters. I think the real turning point in the series was the introduction of Derek Reese. Yeah David Silver himself Brian Austen Green. Not only can he act but having his motives unclear and bluntness moved the story along. As

Ok, so I'm gonna start doing some other sci-fi reviews and some movie opinions on the site. I will still continue to do Trek remastered episodes as well. The new TV season is starting up I watched Terminator TSCC last evening so I will post up a review of the season premier shortly if anyone is reading this blog out there send an email, or comment please! Let me know I'm not alone.

Can they possibly co-exist? All this and more Stay tuned for "The Enemy Within".
