Star Trek Beyond

I think I’ll do a like/dislike analysis for this one. Likes: – Interactions between the cast members. The story opened these up a little more this time around, and these characters and their relationships are a big part of why this was an enjoyable watch overall. They especially played up the Bones/Spock team, which I […]

My Most Anticipated Movies of 2016

Looking ahead to 2016, lets see what movies I’m interested in. EDIT: I completely forgot a big movie when I published this, so I’m going back to fix it now. First: Honourable Mention: The X-Files Season 10 I wanted to at least give this a shout out, even if its not a movie.  I’ve been […]

My Top 50 Video Games: #40 – #31

40. Time Splitters 2 PS2 This one seems weird and rather random, but the reason is because this is the first person shooter my friends and I played a lot.  Is there a story mode to the game? Quite possibly, but I really don’t give a shit.  I just remember having a blast playing 2 […]

My Top Ten Films of 2013

10. Prisoners I liked Prisoners a lot more than I thought I would.  Its one of those engrossing thrillers which is rarely pulled off well,  The mystery was one that was easy to get wrapped up in and the acting is top notch, especially by Jackson.  Its dark and brooding to be sure, but sometimes […]

Confessions of a Blu-ray Collector: Blu-ray Pet Peeves

Time to vent a little.  Now of course, I am a big fan of the blu-ray format, but there are a few things about the overall bluray culture that do bother me which I would like to get off of my chest.  Let me know if you agree with any of these, or if you […]

Star Trek: Into Darkness

The second in the line of new Star Trek movies proved to once again be cinematic and thrilling, and while it may not provide Trekkies with the scientific and humanitarian soul they are looking for, for half-assed Trek fans like myself, it feels enough like Star Trek to make us happy. It also happens to […]

My Most Anticipated Movies of 2013

While 2012 had a lot of releases to look forward to at this time last year, 2013 isn’t looking as promising.  However, with that said, these “looking forward to” lists are, while fun, really quite useless.  The best films of the year will likely be those who slip under the radar rather than the sequels […]

The Ten Best Movie Sequels

10. Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan (1982) Star Trek is one of the most legendary television shows of all time, so there were a lot of expectations when the franchise decided to take its adventures to the big screen. Unfortunately, Star Trek: The Motion Picture was a huge disappointment and did not have […]

The Blu-ray Files #008

Psycho – Psycho is the first blu-ray I watched which was filmed in black and white, and it was fantastic.  The shades of grey were brought out brilliantly and the images looked pristine and full-fleshed.  Just beautiful.  The sound, which is such an integral part of this Hitchcock classic, hit just the right frightening pitch […]

My Top 10 Series Finales

Spoiler warning: If you have not seen the finale of a particular show you plan on watching, spoilers may be given, so just skip to the next one. 10. The Sopranos – “Made in America” First I must admit that I was not a regular watcher of this highly-acclaimed HBO series.  However, I think that […]

Film Club Review – Galaxy Quest

Galaxy Quest When I first heard about Galaxy Quest’s premise, I thought it sounded pretty stupid and headed t no mind. But when I actually thought about it further, its a pretty hilarious concept. The cast of a Star Trek-esque television series is recruited by actual aliens who believe their show is real and need […]

My REAL Top 10 Movies of 2009

Okay, now for my serious list. Keep in mind, there are a lot of movies I haven’t seen this year.Its been a weird year for me, and as a result, not a lot of movies were seen. But of the ones that I did, these were the ones I enjoyed the most. 10. The Informant! […]

The Ten Best Television Cliffhangers

10. The West Wing “What Kind of Day Has It Been?” The first season of the West Wing was a show full of spirit and good-hearted drama. Sure, it was somber at times and dealt withsome heavy themes, but it was also full of fast-paced energy and witty dialgue. Therefore, we were all surprised to […]

The Ten Greatest TV Shows

Just a note: this is not a list of my personal favorites. I am trying to step back from this list and be as objective as possible. These shows are ranked on importance and impact as well as quality. I have a feeling there will be a lot of disagreement with this one, but that’s […]

Star Trek

Star Trek is an amazing movie. I fell in love with this movie from the first few minutes. The opening was very intense, exciting and packed quite the emotional punch. Even though we have only just been introduced to these characters, Abrams manages to make a connection between them and we as an audience, and […]
