Baddie – Reality television. Ooooooooh. Lesson – Film crews always get the short stick. Always. I’ll be the first one to admit that the movies I pick for this blog tend to be ‘creature’ flicks. Okay, almost always. The closest I’ve gotten to a haunt is American Horror Story. So here we go, a ghost story. So…
So, Star Trek: Into Darkness came out last week, which was a very exciting time for me. The opening sequence of its time-twisting prequel, Star Trek (2009), gets me a little teary every time I see it. Watching the premiere in 3D IMAX helped, too.
