We take on one of our favorite movies, “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan,” while also acknowledging the flaws that make it all the more lovable. Topics include: How Genesis is the galaxy’s worst Kickstarter project; Why it’s always important to count the planets, especially at Ceti Alpha; The size of the Botany Bay library and why it makes Khan so mad at Kirk; Why Scott’s email is more secure than the Reliant; The real name of Khan’s right-hand man; and how Spock’s death solves Kirk’s mid-life crisis. Also, we scientifically prove that “Wrath of Khan” is better than Star Wars.

As a…

I’m thinking the movie is going to be the sort of movie I have been anticipating. It will tell a story of Lincoln the way we want to be told he was — not necessarily how he actually was.

It’s very difficult to address historical figures. Someone like Lincoln is still relatable to Americans today. We see his image on our currency, and we hear stories of his kindness, honesty, and sincerity. We are glad to quickly overlook that this president made the country go to war with itself. Obviously it could not have been an easy choice (or his first choice), but it still gives me pause enough to…

We’re so surprised to learn that the director who doesn’t do directors or extended cuts is continuing to not do directors or extended cuts for the disc release of his latest film. While rumors recently flew that Christopher Nolan would reinstate up to 30 minutes to the home release of The Dark Knight Rises, turns out they’re just not true. The 165-minute version of the film that was in theaters is the version of the film, whether it was exactly what Nolan wanted, or if he cut scenes to fit IMAX running times, or any other reason.

Like I said, it doesn’t seem like something Nolan would…

I had the opportunity to see Raiders of the Lost Ark this past weekend in its remastered IMAX glory. I have to say I was duly impressed. The film held up quite well for the most part. And seeing Indy “stick it to the Nazis” is always fun.

I must confess that I have not traditionally thought very highly of the Indiana Jones franchise. And I’m even talking pre-Crystal Skull. Until this past weekend it had been a couple years since I had seen the original trilogy, and I distinctly remember that they weren’t very good films. I have to say that Raiders of the Lost Ark is actually a far better…

Steven Speilberg’s been hard at work to bring to us another award-winning biopic. This time, what with Daniel Day-Lewis as Abraham Lincoln, he is bound to create quite a buzz with the film and stir up age-old controversy and worship for the 16th president of these United States of America.

It’s practically impossible to imagine that Lincoln will not reflect a highly subjective viewpoint of Abe. Some will be very happy with the American spirit and glorification of their “patron saint of freedom.” While one would expect history buffs to be the target audience of Spielberg’s film, it’s…

Yeah, yeah, I know. It’s Twilight. But please, let me explain.

When I was younger, I used to read quite a bit. I was never really the “ravenous” reader, but I read a lot. As I grew up and started working, started making money, and started a family, my time for reading became almost none existent. But a few years ago I discovered a new way to read — audio books.

My wife was a long time fan of the Harry Potter books and she got me into it by getting me the audio book for Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. I was hooked. I listened to the entire series during my commutes, on trips, and…

Negotiations between Apple and the media companies have reportedly stumbled over the software interface for any new television product from Apple, with cable companies wanting to have control over the software. The two sides are also at loggerheads over whether Apple would sell a new set-top box directly to consumers or if the device would be distributed by the cable companies.

Because the software coming out of the industry has been so stellar… OH WAIT! Seriously, that’s the stupidest thing I have ever heard. What would be the point of an Apple TV if these stupid companies were allowed…

A new promo for the upcoming season premiere of Bones offers some new clips and clues as to what’s to come. Like the first Bones Season 8 promo, it also shows us plenty of blonde Brennan.

One of TV’s most beloved couples clearly has its work cut out for it in the wake of this latest obstacle, but something tells us they’ll be able to pick up the pieces. Love can conquer a great deal.

This show has come dangerously close to jumping the shark more than once and its longevity is something of a mixed bag as far as I’m concerned. Still, it is one of the better shows on TV and I’ll happily…

Clint Eastwood made a surprise appearance at the Republican National Convention Thursday night, calling unemployment in America “a national disgrace” before interviewing an empty chair he addressed as “President Obama.”

“I got Mr. Obama sitting here and I was gonna ask him a couple questions,” Eastwood drawled, turning his head toward the bare stool.

Boy he sure stammers a lot these days. What’s worse is he isn’t making me feel any better about ‘conservatives’ in Hollywood. Interviewing an invisible Obama is just about the lamest thing I have ever seen an actor do. Much as I don’t…
