I was bored last night when I got a text from a friend asking if I wanted to see This is the End (2013) right then. I had only vaguely heard of it; I’d read that Daniel Radcliffe turned it down because it had an awful script but offered to help improve the movie anyway, despite…
It’s a Disaster (2012): The Plot: Every year, four couples get together for a Sunday brunch, because that’s what grown ups do. Two are married, one is engaged, and the fourth kind of shifts, because Tracy Scott (Julia Stiles) keeps dating crazy guys.

I have to be careful what I say here; because while Bob and Doug Mckenzie were a big part of my childhood, my exposure to them was more from their top selling album The Great White…
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.
