Here's where you'll find my take on various movies good and bad, old and new. Some of the reviews posted here I have previously had published in both my school and local newspapers.
Also while I have only started this Blog just February of 2005, I have backdated some of the reviews to the date I actually wrote them (all within a week of their U.S. theatrical release).
While I am primarily a Star Trek fan, here you will find my take on non-Trek films.
Feel free to comment on anything I say. I welcome the feedback.
