It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a little girl in possession of a good imagination must be in want of a heroine. At least, this was the truth of my childhood. Like many people of my generation, my early pop culture intake was a healthy mix of Disney (this included an extensive library of …
A few weeks after Roberto Orci was removed from ‘Star Trek 3’ and left the director’s chair open, leaving the 2016 film in a bit of trouble, it has been reported by CBR that the ship now has its captain in the form of Fast Five’s Justin Lin.

Back in the 60s, the world of film and television wasn’t as dominated by big franchises as it is now simply because there obviously weren’t as many. In the realm of science fiction, there were really only a few big names and two of them were Star Trek and The Planet of the Apes. Now …
The camera in J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek: Into Darkness often operates as though it were a satellite in space – at times orbiting actors, but not as tightly bound to the laws of gravity. In the first shot, the camera is entering a colorful planet’s atmosphere, slowing down as it catches wind resistance and using its zoom to call attention to some ruckus happening on the ground – a very literal approach to dropping the audience into the middle of the action.
Paul Goebel, the King of TV and cohost of Hey Watch This!, returns to the DVD Shelf to discuss the influential and frequently fascinating Star Trek.

Star Trek – and we’re talking the original 1966-69 series here – was a lousy TV show. I was 11 years old when the series debuted on NBC and I thought it was a lousy show then. That’s why I couldn’t stand the Trekkies even back before there was a name for them. My first …
