Okay. Alright. Here we go. I’ve watched it once and I’m about to watch it again and analyze it a little more slowly. One thing is for sure, it looks like Kirk is/has made a serious mistake (or two) and some miscalculations, which is unusual for Kirk as we’ve always known him before. But this is still telling the story of how he became Kirk I suppose you would say.

This certainly looks epic, and okay, it’s Star Trek so I’m excited in spite of myself. TrekMovie.com (Anthony Pascale) is working on a shot by shot analysis right now and I’m looking forward to that as I always do.

I hope this…

These days podcast apps are abundant. Heck, you don’t need an app to listen to podcasts. Many people will discover podcasts online, then stream them from their web browser. This works, but I find it a flimsy way to digest content.

When you scout sites online for good podcasts it’s difficult to track them for new episodes as they become available. Apart from bookmarking those sites and visiting them weekly, there’s no realistic way to track them. So, the easy listening experience is to be had in an app dedicated to aggregating audio programs.

Apparently transmissions from Krypton get a little garbled by the time they get to earth as this video demonstrates. And unless we give up “Kal-El” I guess earth is toast. Seems like a no brainer, Superman should turn himself in.

Something else interesting: a site has popped up online with the same sort of fuzzy static that appears to be counting down in Kryptonian. It is: IWillFindHim.com. Kind of interesting. I wonder what they have planned.

Check out General Zod’s threat.

Get ready to get your mindless action flick on, because that’s what I expect Pacific Rim to be. Bolstering my opinion in this regard is the 30 second international TV spot that really tells us to expect nothing more than a lot of action and robots and stuff.

This Guillermo del Toro film will open in theaters on July 12, 2013, and stars Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day, Ron Perlman, Robert Kazinsky, Max Martini, Clifton Collins, Burn Gorman, Larry Joe Campbell, Brad William Henke and Diego Klattenhoff. I only recognize one name in that list, and he’s not a huge player…

Melissa McCarthy knows how to interrogate a suspect in The Heat. You throw “the book” at him!

This film has the potential to be good, funny, goofy, with a side of character development. But I was burned by the last Melissa McCarthy film I saw (my first introduction to her) so I’m a little gun-shy. But, I often like Sandra Bullock’s films so maybe this will be good. There is the potential. But there’s also so much that could go wrong with this film. The only thing for it is to wait and see.

Issue #206 of Total Film magazine features a Joss Whedon interview in what appears to be a huge Marvel-centric issue. In it, Joss talks about Avengers 2, but he also talks a little bit about the Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. pilot and how it fits in to the greater Marvel universe.

“The S.H.I.E.L.D. show fits into the mythology of The Avengers remarkably well and they both complement each other. So it just seemed like a no-brainer – although it has required a lot of my brain to get it right,” Whedon told the magazine.

“We have just finished shooting and I am excited. I think Marvel fans will…

Young adult franchise hopeful The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones doesn’t open until August 23, but Constantin Films is already working on a prequel.

The company has thrown into development Infernal Devices, an adaptation of the spin-off book series written by Mortal Instruments author Cassandra Clare, and has hired Stephanie Sanditz to write the screenplay.

Mortal Instruments, a best-selling series of fantasy romance books, centers on a young girl who discovers she is part of a hidden race of angels known as Shadowhunters locked in a battle with warlocks and vampires called…

The pair said that the biggest thing they had to do when writing a movie to lead into The Avengers 2 was make sure the character loyalties were in a specific place. They also discussed how writing on Thor: The Dark World was a different experience, how much The Winter Soldier had changed from its initial outline, and how the sequel will put Captain America in a totally new place. Spoiler alert – they really love working with Marvel and want to continue to do so. Read the quotes below.

Here’s a snippet of our conversation.

Lots of good stuff here if you are a comic book movie geek such…

It’s April 15^th. One can easily tell this by the collective groan heard across the country as we reckon with the (arguably out of control) tax code. If you are lucky enough to have married a math major (like yours truly) who thinks numbers and stuff are cool, you may not be dealing direclty with the taxes, and yet, you know it’s there, mocking you. You can’t get away from it. It’s never ending.

But, don’t despair and stab your eyes out, let me bring some humor to the situation for you and make it all better. The joker has some words of wisdom for you today: “Some people just want to see…
