It didn't exactly break mine, but Season 1 made me an instant addict (I was 8 or 9 at the time, so any show with good spaceship effects would probably have that effect on me). It was my first Trek incarnation and still remains my favorite.

TOS was an action-adventure show in its day, but it can feel too slow and dated to a kid of the 2010s. The Wrath Of Khan sounds like a good idea, it should be a pleasant start for anyone who liked the original Star Wars trilogy (the same era, similar VFX techniques etc.).

The Brotherhood Of The Cruciform Lightsaber?

I feel the same way, but let's not forget that The Phantom Menace trailer was also very well received. I'm trying not to get too hyped up.

Finally I got this over with. It's as though a great weight has been lifted from my heart.

Breaking Dawn, Part 2 is not much different from the previous installments. Aside from two fairly good jokes, nothing interesting happens until the big climax, which

The baby comes straight from the Uncanny Valley and will probably give me nightmares. At least this time they acknowledged (sort of) that

And then there's Michael Sheen... He seems to be the only person having fun in this movie. The others are just dull.

The budget was $120 million. Where the fuck did all this money go?

Roger Ebert called G-Force "pleasant" and "inoffensive". While I agree that those cute guinea pigs are pleasant to the eye, the lack of a good story can offend a discerning moviegoer. Just like Yogi Bear, this flick utterly fails in the story department. You can skip it, unless you're a die-hard furry fan.

(Disclaimer: I watched it dubbed, so I didn't have the opportunity to hear the original voice performances.)

It's not any particular part... The whole movie is a very charming story with adorable characters and pleasant songs. Just like Star Wars, it's an archetypal fairytale. Why did those storytelling archetypes become archetypes? Because they work, even for straight men (contrary to popular belief, liking The Wizard doesn't make you gay ).

I can't explain why, but a likable girl protagonist (like Dorothy, Mathilda and Hit Girl from Kick-Ass) can make any story more moving to me (everything that happens to a little girl, especially tragedy, just feels more intense somehow). A girl like Dorothy will grow up to be Katniss or Ripley, not Bella (and we REALLY don't need more Bellas in fiction).

Awww man... Knight Rider was a big part of my childhood. The scripts might've been a little retarded, but I couldn't help but love that awesome talking car.

Ender's Game could be an interesting commentary.

The cause of Sorcerer's flop must have been the release date (1977, the year of the Star Wars revolution). The movie just SCREAMS "pre-Star Wars 1970s". It might've been received much better a few years earlier.

I had an opportunity to revisit David Lynch's old shame.

Many people complain that Peter Jackson's Hobbit adaptation stretches out the contents of a fairly short book to three long movies. Dune is the opposite of The Hobbit: too much story was crammed into a 137-minute running time. The movie rushes through all the necessary plot points; there's no room to breathe and no time for proper worldbuilding (the 2000 miniseries, despite a TV-grade budget, does a better job of fleshing out Frank Herbert's universe).

David Lynch famously disowned Dune saying that the studio influenced the movie too much. Not all problems with the film can be blamed on the producers, though - those unnecessary grotesqueries (the Baron's diseased face, milking a hairless cat etc.) were (as far as I know) added by David himself.

To sum it up, it's a mess.

Also known as VSS Enterprise.

Having nothing better to do, I revisited one of the movies of my youth.

Pump Up The Volume is The Breakfast Club with a hard-on. Unlike The Breakfast Club, it seems to be largely forgotten. Why? It holds up surprisingly well. It's not flawless, but it's got Christian Slater, sincerity and heart. And a cock ring.

Check out this old gem if you have the chance.

Since Part II turned out to be a disappointment, my expectations for Hangover Part III were low. I was pleasantly surprised - Part III is actually watchable. Not great, but watchable. Instead of another rehash, this time we got a plot that reminds me of The Big Lebowski (John Goodman even alludes to it once). Not a masterpiece, but not totally awful either.

I'm not very familiar with anime. The Animatrix was good, so I decided to give Akira (which supposedly is one of the best examples of this art form) a shot. It was underwhelming, to say the least. It tries to play with some interesting themes, but (mainly because of flat, uninteresting characters) still feels just like a cartoon. A cartoon with one quick shot of boobs. Maybe it's the fault of the English dub. Or maybe I was simply expecting too much. Or maybe I "just don't get" anime
