    Review Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)

    There are bands who can replace a singer and do very well. The problem is, Freddie was Queen. Or rather, he embodied what Queen was. It was May's brilliant guitar work, Duncan's moving bass and Taylor's steady beat, but Freddie's voice, his presence...that is what a singer should be. I caught...

    Fun Hockey

    I'd wager it would be Crosby, but I'd like to see Kane get it. It's too bad my Kings aren't playing worth a damn this season.

    Fun The Last Movie That You Watched?

    Give me any Ed Wood film over most of the big budget Hollywood films cranked out these days. Or some Full Moon Entertainment.

    Fun Your Favourite Films?

    I know I'm in the minority, but I didn't care at all for THE WOMAN IN BLACK. Daniel Radcliffe is amazing in it, and it has a creepy atmosphere, but the movie itself, to me, seemed to be all jump scares and no pay off. I did like that they went with the depressing ending (that's all I'll say in...

    Review Awful Remakes?

    Remake a classic Vincent Price horror film? Sacrilege! Unless you have Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis and awesome, gory body horror!

    Review Awful Remakes?

    I love the Rat Pack, and still really love the original flick. But I also know that the original was really only made as a way for all those guys to hang out in Vegas and get paid for it, and it shows. It's slow, with very little pay off by the end. However, I overlook it because of the charisma...

    Fun The Trek Franchise!

    I can't honestly answer the question, because it's complicated. Roddenberry left for Season 3 of TOS, and the quality was lacking. Then, after several attempts to get another series off the ground, he gave us THE MOTION PICTURE. The story, while re-hashed from a TOS script, was clever, just...

    Review Star Trek: First Contact (1996)

    My favorite of the Next Generation films, and probably my second favorite of all of the ST films. Honestly, it shouldn't work. There are really two separate movies going on here. You have Picard and company saving history from the Borg, while you then have the Picard/Data/Borg Queen story. There...

    Review The Star Wars Holiday Special

    http://www.shadowlocked.com/20101115947/opinion-features/my-first-time-watching-the-star-wars-holiday-special.html These are my thoughts on it. At least it gave us Boba Fett.

    Review The Capaldi Doctor

    I agree, except that I dig the hoodie and guitar. The sonic sunglasses I could have done without.

    Fun IMDB: The Site We Left Behind....

    I've been getting some last days postings on the old IMDb boards, just to converse with a few folks I still like over there on shows I like. And about every other post has some jagoff starting arguments for no reason that to start arguments. I guess what I'm saying is, I love this place. You...

    Review Northern Exposure

    I always thought of it as a cult show, if for no other reason than it did its best to not follow a straight forward storytelling format. There were some tropes thrown in, just because studios demand it, but they really tried to make a show that wasn't like every other show. The last season or...

    Fun Star Trek: The Original Series

    I have to say, there's no one in the original cast of regular characters that I would wish such a fate upon. However, if someone held a Ceti Eel up to my ear and said I had to pick someone, I would probably just go with Chekov, just because he's the most disposable. But it would suck, because I...

    Fun Star Trek: Enterprise

    Look at that shot of Troi above. And you have your answer. It was great.

    Fun Star Trek: The Original Series

    Both. I have read many accounts from co-stars, crew and others that Bill could be a terror to work with, and completely run by ego. There was a long thread on IMDb that talked about many of the accusations made by his co-workers, and I think that much of what he gets as far as bad talk has been...

    Fun Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987)

    I really hated Pulaski at the time. Now, I find her to be much better than I remember her being. Still don't care for her as much as Beverly. TNG has so many highs and lows throughout its run, but when it's on, it's brilliant.

    Review Star Trek: Generations (1994)

    I remember walking out of the theatre after seeing it with friends, and thinking it was good, but could have been so much better. My friends all disagreed, and I think because of all of us talking about it that night, I remembered it being better than it was. I watched it about a year ago, and...

    Review Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991)

    Not the best, but probably my second or third favorite of the original crew (not sure if this or SEARCH FOR SPOCK is the better movie). And yes, Sulu should have gotten either his own show, or a separate movie.

    Review Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984)

    Love it, but I admit this may be because I'm a sucker for any good story involving the Klingons. About a year back, I went through Netfilx and watched every Klingon-related episode of the franchises. So much fun.
