On Star Trek, or, “The nerdiest post I’ve ever written.”
WARNING: Spoilers and spoiler-text ahead. If you haven’t seen the movie yet and do not wish to have any clue or hint revealed unto you, don’t read this post.

On Quantum of Solace, part two.
WARNING: Spoilers ahead. If you haven’t seen the movie yet and do not wish to have any clue or hint revealed unto you, don’t read this post. Also, I didn’t spend a whole lot of time editing this one, so… yeah. First, Quantum of Solace (hereafter QOS) is not the typical 007 flick. There’s no “Bond, James [...]
On The Dark Knight, part two.
WARNING: Spoilers ahead. If you haven’t seen the movie yet and do not wish to have any clue or hint revealed unto you, don’t read this post. The more I think about this movie, the more I think of edits that could have made it better (in my humble, non-Oscar-winning, never-been-trusted-with-a-$185-million-budget-and-delivered-a-great-movie opinion), and the more [...]

On Quantum of Solace, part one.
They’ve announced the title of the next 007 flick: Quantum of Solace. It’s an interesting choice, because it was the title of a short story that had nothing to do with spies, explosions, gadgets, or any of the staples of the James Bond series. In fact, his only involvement is as part of the frame story: [...]
On The Simpsons Movie.
SPOILER ALERT: If you don’t want to know oh come on. The show’s been on forever, which means that you’ve essentially already seen this movie. Once upon a time, there was a very funny TV show called The Simpsons. It was well-written, clever yet unpretentious, and was always good for at least one bout of hysterical, [...]
Regarding humanity’s role on this planet.
About two months ago, I wrote that “Humans are more important than all other living things combined and multiplied by a bazillion.” Well, a lot’s happened since then. After watching and reading about all the hoopla leading up to last weeks’ major media event, I am ashamedly forced to admit that I was wrong, and that [...]
On Casino Royale.
WARNING: Spoilers ahead. If you haven’t seen the movie yet, and do not wish to have certain elements of the plot revealed to you, don’t read this post. I mean it. ADDITIONAL WARNING: If you haven’t seen the movie yet and have no intention of doing so, I hate you. When I was ten, I [...]
“Why is there one red star on the ceiling?”
On Wednesday, I watched Superman Returns. It was an absolutely wonderful movie. When that familiar, triumphant John Williams score opened the movie, when those electric blue-outlined credits started whooshing past the screen, I was five years old all over again: back in Mrs. Elmes’s kindergarten class on Movie Day, watching Christopher Reeve defeat Zod, Non and Ursa; running around my [...]
