Jacob Hall — Mon, 20 May 2013 15:23:15 +0000

'Star Trek Into Darkness' Review

Jordan Hoffman — Tue, 14 May 2013 12:00:38 +0000

J.J. Abrams is going to make the greatest 'Star Wars' movie in history.

With 'Star Trek Into Darkness,' Abrams' follow up to the 2009 'Star Trek' reboot (or continuation of the series, if you are Spock Prime) he has solidified his position as a master of propulsive, visceral filmmaking. Dude knows where to put the camera, when the music should swell, when the characters should zing each another or when they should project pathos to the cheap seats. The 'Star Wars' films are mostly gut and little brains and, unfortunately, that is what we have here. The movie still works as an exemplary thrill ride – I laughed, I cried, I cheered – but woe be to anyone who gets caught in a conversation afterwards trying to explain the overly complicated and, at times, silly plot. If you expect something a little sharper out of 'Star Trek' you may come away with some mixed emotions.

Zachary Quinto, The New Spock, VS. Leonard Nimoy, The Old Spock: The Challenge, Too Funny [VIDEO]

Chris Allen — Wed, 08 May 2013 11:00:07 +0000

Who is the better Spock in the Star Trek movies. Leonard Nimoy has done some acting in the new Star Trek series. Audi took the age old question, who is better, and instead of going cheesy and making each man dress up in Spockdom, he just used the actors. I always have more respect for [...]

Though the trailer won’t hit the web until December 17, and the film doesn’t hit theaters until May 2013, ‘Star Trek Into Darkness‘ has just released their teaser for the trailer that’s coming. Yup, this nonsense again, but at least this one’s a minute long. It’s the sort of thing we’ve come to expect from [...]

Here's a 'Star Trek'-Themed Mattress Commercial, Because Why Not?

Emerald Catron — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 21:28:50 +0000

“Don’t ‘Klingon’ to that old mattress.” And so begins one of the most ridiculous commercials we’ve seen in a while. There’s got to be so much copyright infringement going on here in this stiff ‘Star Trek’ spoof, it’s almost mind-boggling. (Gene Rodenberry must be rolling over in his space grave.) The beauty of the local [...]

These days, you can get plastic surgery on just about anything. Want a million-dollar caboose a la Kim Kardashian? Done. Don’t like the shape of your chin? Not a problem. Want to channel Dr. Spock via elf-shaped ears? Err — yeah, at least one surgeon in Tempe, AZ, has got the ‘Star Trek’ department covered [...]
