Last year CBS Home Entertainment announced the upcoming release of Star Trek: The Next Generation on Blu-ray. Much like it’s predecessor, TNG is getting the 5-star treatment. But while the producers of The Original Series Remastered created brand new computer-generated visual effects, the folks at CBS Home Entertainment have taken a decidedly different tack with TNG.
It’s becoming increasingly harder to find places that sell, let alone develop 8mm or Super 8 film.

I don’t know about you, but I haven’t been less excited for a film in years than I am for the release of Star Wars: Episode I in 3-D. Same actually goes for the sequels. Maybe when you hit Episode IV, I might be willing to plunk down the incredibly exorbitant cost to go see it, though I […]

Everyone knows the story. Gene Roddenberry shot “The Cage” as the pilot for a new show called Star Trek.

With all the buzz surrounding Zack Snyder’s new Superman film “The Man of Steel”, it’s almost amazing that we haven’t seen any actual footage yet. The excitement from the studio seems almost palpable. The first still of Henry Cavill as Superman hit the net and polarized the audience. Half of the public felt at long […]

Just in time for the 25th anniversary of the film’s release, Intrada records is issuing a new special edition soundtrack CD for the most popular Star Trek film of all time, STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME. It’s been a good couple of years to be a Star Trek soundtrack fan. In the past few […]
