Why Star Trek V: The Final Frontier Deserves More Respect

25 April 2012 12:02 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier has always got a bad rep from most fans and critics alike. It’s usually voted the least liked, original crew feature film and current holds a not very hot, 21% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

But I think that is unfair. I believe the film has a lot more going for it than people give it credit. Once you look past the special effects and strange plot, there is probably the closest feature film that resembles the Original Series. Also, it’s a film that deserves a decent Directors Cut. Let me explain why…

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier followed on from a trilogy of Star Trek movies that were a hit with fans and a commercial success for Paramount while claiming critical acclaim. They also had a story arc that concluded with Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, which was the biggest grossing »

2012 Oscars: 5 Things I Learned

27 February 2012 10:55 AM, PST | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »

Last night, I watched the 84th Academy Awards (while Tweeting 184 times and drinking a lot of caffeine). True, Billy Crystal pretty much gave the performance that we, as a society, expected; George Clooney is a charming man, as always; and most of the winners -- save for a couple of surprises -- were foregone conclusions. But! That doesn't mean there weren't lessons to be learned. So, with that, here are the five things I learned from the 84th Academy Awards. 1.) People think Meryl Streep wins an Oscar every year. I can't believe the amount of articles/Tweets/Facebook status updates/smoke signals/carrier pigeon deliveries I've read that allude to Streep's victory as, "Ho-hum, what else in new?" Well, in the last 29 years (!) since she last won an Oscar, a lot is new, actually. First of all, Ronald Reagan is no longer in his first term as President of the United States. »

5 Changes That Would Improve J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek 2

22 February 2012 11:39 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

Let me start off by saying something that may make some of you spit your drink at the screen but……I don’t like Jj Abrams. I didn’t like Lost, Fringe or any of the films that have had his name on the poster. I could go into detail why but that is for another article.

So when it was announced that he was taking the helm of the Star Trek franchise, my initial reaction was to break into a cold sweat and hyperventilate. Ive always been a huge fan of Star Trek and to read that Jj Abrams (who quite openly said he didn’t like Star Trek) was in the directors chair, well it was very worrying.

When I saw the film, to my surprise I did enjoy it and I understood why some of the drastic changes were made in order to make it more appealing to a mainstream audience. »
