Star Trek


I never watched Star Trek as a series so I cant do this film justice. But going in blind, I have to say this was an incredible movie! J.J.Abrams has done it again!

The cast is incredible... I dont need to list it's starring members again and I am sure you all know by now anyway. The only thing that bugged me was Zachary Quinto as Spock. To me, all I saw was Sylar through and through. Both characters are similar in their own way given their ability to ignore all emotion and stay calm no matter what the situation, but I cant be the only one seeing this right?

Simon Pegg was awesome in this movie. He plays Scotty, a genius in the Star Trek universe, but also the comedian. Pegg was a perfect casting for this role and had me in hysterics every time he was on the screen!

As for the plot... It was believable and it made sense in its own way. It's just good to see how it included Leonard Nimoy and I suppose it was a good way to 'restart' the Star Trek franchise.

There isnt much I can say without giving away the whole movie so I suggest watching it yourself (I hear there is a decent copy floating around the interwebs!).

Awesome movie!!


Oh and Chris Hemsworth, the dude that played old daddy Kirk, has been cast as Thor, another Marvel movie starting production.

Watch the Season finale of Fringe by the way... Leonard Nimoy is a very significant charater :P


In completely unrelated news, Wolverin Origins will have a sequel... of sorts... The next movie will centre around Deadpool, the dude played by Ryan Reynolds. Interesting role for him but it seemed to work with what little screen time he had in Origins.

Thats all for now... Maybe... Who knows when I will next update?

Picking it up...

So I finished my computing coursework. Was it worth all the hours? No.... Was it worth leaving until the last minute? No... Am I dissapointed? Yes...

Its too late now...

At least I feel a weight has lifted off my shoulders. Leaving me with a slightly less heavier weight with my exams looming ever closer.

But ignoring them... I will enjoy the rest of this week.

God I love orange wednesdays! I get to please my girlfriend with a night out and enjoy a great movie all for the price of a single ticket! I wonder if they have something similar in the US? Ahh well... Its genious!

So Star Trek... Really looking forward to this and have been since the first glimpse! What a cast!! Sylar is a badass and Zachery Quinto to be playing Spock?! Not to mention Simon Pegg and Roldy (John Cho)! Never been a Star Trek fan but with a cast like this I really dont want to miss this.

J.J.Abrams has only recently become such a huge name. If a movie/TV show has his name on it there is a good chance I am going to watch it.

Which brings me to Fringe. If you havn't seen this yet.. Check out the 2 hours pilot! It is like a movie on its own. I have been watching this weekly with my girlfriend and we both love it! It is just a shame the season finishes this week. So sad :(

I dont know what Im going to do after this week. Lost, Smallville and Fringe finish this week. Scrubs, Heroes, Inbetweeners, Shameless, Skins.... ITS ALL OVER!

What the shit will I watch?!

Ahh well.. Still have my animes.

Speaking of which... Full Metal Alchemist has started up again with Brotherhood. I loved the original and look forward to more episodes! Apparantly Brotherhood follows more closely with the Manga which I have not read yet for some reason. Will have to get reading soon though I think!

I think I will leave it at that for now seeing as my mind has gone blank :)
