The DVDs are Out There
I love movies, and I love watching movies on DVD in the comfort of my own home. Here are some of the great DVDs I’ve watched recently: Heist and State and Main — I’m in the midst of a sort of David Mamet retrospective, tearing through a number of his earlier works,
The New Frontier
OK, this is my last posting having to do with Star Trek for a while — I promise! But yesterday — believe it or not — marked the 42nd anniversary of the airing of the first episode of the original Star Trek series. On September 8th, 1966, NBC aired “The Man Tr
Beyond the Final Frontier — Part II
In addition to the great series of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine novels that I discussed yesterday, Pocket Books has really stepped up their game across the board. They have released a number of marvelous novels in the past few years dealing with ALL the different series in the Star Tr
Beyond the Final Frontier
The other day I mentioned here that there hasn’t been any truly great Star Trek around since Deep Space Nine went off the air back in 1999. Well, that’s not entirely true. Believe it or not, in the past few years, Pocket Book has put together a terrific line of Star Trek
Familiar Faces
Its always fun to be watching an old episode of a favorite TV show and spot a great guest star actor you’d never realized was there before. This happened twice to me recently. I was watching an old episode from the first season of The X-Files called “Shapes.”

Most of the sci-fi franchises that I grew up loving haven’t been doing too hot this past decade. The lame AvP movies. The disappointing Star Wars prequels. And there hasn’t been any truly great Star Trek around since Deep Space Nine (by far the best series of the fra
Fall Movies!
I’ve been perusing my copy of Entertainment Weekly‘s “Fall Movie Preview,” and there are some really interesting flicks coming our way in the next few months. Here are some of the films I’m looking forward to: Burn After Reading — It’s the n
Thundering Pineapple Mummies
Well, the summer is winding down, but I’m taking advantage of the lull to catch up on some movies! Here’s what I’ve seen lately: Tropic Thunder — Just saw this tonight, and let me tell you it is phenomenal. Ben Stiller stars in and directed this tale of a g
The Suantum of Quolace
Could it be that the theme song for the new James Bond film, Quantum of Solace, has already leaked? Well, no. But this is still pretty funny!!
More Toasters!
To all the Battlestar Galactica fans out there who, like me, are very sad to see the show come to a close with the 10 remaining episodes (to air on Sci-Fi later this year) — rejoice! In addition to the much-discussed and finally green-lit Caprica TV-movie (set 50 years before th
