On A Note: Star Trek 2009 Score

When Star Trek opened in 2009 I ran out and purchased the soundtrack (as I do with most movies I like) and found that Michael Giacchino’s score was great driving music. Having listened to Jerry Goldsmith’s Star Trek scores for years it took a while for this new score to grow on me.

Ticket Stubs Preview: Thor

Paramount Pictures released a photo of Chris Hemsworth (Kirk’s father in J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek) dressed as Thor from their upcoming movie that is set to release 2011.

In related news, Marvel Studios released that it is developing some of the lessor known Marvel characters such as Luke Cage, Dr. Strange, Ka-Zar, Dazzler, and Power Pack [...]

Geek Family Vacation Day #2

So, it’s day number 2 of the vacation and we arrived last night just after 1 AM.  After a decent night’s sleep and a wonderful breakfast of homemade biscuits and gravy, I began my tech support duties for my parents on their Gateway netbook.  Let’s just say that I am writing this post at midnight [...]

The Toybox: Star Trek Auction

Saturday, April 10, 2010 can be considered the final nail in the coffin of The Star Trek Experience. Once the geekiest destination around, The Star Trek Experience closed 2 years ago leaving an empty space at the Las Vegas Hilton. Now Propworx has been tasked with auctioning off the remnants from Quark’s Restaurant and both [...]

Ticket Stubs: Star Trek – The Motion Picture 30 Years Later

Movie Poster

Not many people can say that they know exactly what they were doing last week, let alone 30 years ago, but I know exactly; I was freezing my ass off in line for a movie. This movie was the first I ever stood in line for on opening day (but was not the last). Star Trek: [...]

The Toybox: Star Trek Wrath of Khan Phaser

Back in February, I was able to see and play with the prototype of the Star Trek Wrath of Khan Phaser from Diamond. When I first saw this little jewel I knew that it was going to be one of my favorite role play toys. Now that it has finally come out, I have to [...]

Ticket Stubs News: Star Trek Update

We have some announcements and reminders for all of the Trek fans out there (I refuse to Trekkers or Trekkies). There are some upcoming releases that you need to know about. Information including the Star Trek MMO that many of you have been clambering for since it was first announced.

Off the Rack: Star Trek – Nero (1 of 4)

The Toybox: Star Trek – Wrath of Khan Phaser

Wrath of Khan Phaser

Recently at the New York Comic Con I was able to get a closer look at the Wrath of Khan phaser from Diamond Select. I have to say that the phaser is absolutely beautiful. Light weight with all of the bells and whistles (ok lights and sound effects) that we have [...]

Star Trek Exhibit

The rain was heavy the day we arrived at the Detroit Science Center. It would have been fitting had we been there for an exhibit on Blade Runner, but we were there for the Star Trek Exhibit and frankly I couldn’t wait. Kelly (that would be Kelly Altenberger long time friend and first time camera [...]

The Toybox: Star Trek – TOS Communicator

Art Asylum and Diamond Distributers have brought out one of the most desired Star Trek props, The Original Series communicator. Made in a 1:1 scale, this replica is the inexpensive alternative to the Master Replicas version that sold out 2 years ago and now goes for big bucks on Ebay.

Ticket Stubs: Star Trek II – The Wrath of Khan

This is my favorite of all Star Trek movies. This movie is somewhat  dated (it has a bit of a 80’s feel to it) but it is timeless in it’s own right.

I must say that I have made this a ritual every year to watch this movie for my birthday.  So here I am on [...]
