New Voltron Force Images

A few newly released images from the Voltron reboot. Voltron Force will debut on Nicktoons very soon, but I haven't heard the official date yet.

The Eagle (Trailer)

I'm going to have to check this out. Though, I'm worried. No one has been doing historical movies right for a long time.

Hanna (Trailer 2011)

Hanna looks to be a solid addition to the "little girl assassin" genre. The trailer is quite good.  Hopefully, the filmmakers can maintain believable action throughout.

Konga (1961)

Michael Gough's passing yesterday got me to thinking about this old movie. Konga is a wonderful King Kong ripoff.

I saw it for the first time when I was maybe 9 or 10 and I loved it. It had a hint of mystery, a lost in Africa back story, murder, man-eating plants and an ever growing ape. It lived in my memory as dreamlike images until a few years ago. I came across it on TCM and loved it once again.

Many aspects of the production are weak of course. The matte work and the ape suit are quite fake. Gough gives a great performance though and makes Konga more than worth watching. He was truly a marvelous mad scientist.

Check it out if you dare!

Qel'Narin Reviews Star Trek:The Original Series Episode "Return to Tomorrow"

Qel'Narin's rant this week will leave you breathless and wanting more!

Hmmm, okay...

Maybe not that, but his emotional outburst over the destruction of a being he respected is not to be missed!

William Shatner should talk Watson into destroying himself!

Qel'Narin Reviews the Star Trek: The Next Generation Episode "Hide and Q"

Voltron Bidding War

It seems the all but dead live-action Voltron movie is now a hot commodity. A number of companies are furiously bidding on who will finance (and then control) the property. The bidders include Relativity Media among other heavyweights.

Producer Charles Roven (The Dark Knight) and screenwriters Thomas Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer (Conan the Barbarian remake) have been developing a script.

If interest continues at this rate we may see a Voltron feature film in theaters by 2013.

Terra Nova Tidbits

Mr. Braga dropped a few morsels concerning the story possibilities of Terra Nova, the new epic scifi TV show from Fox.

"The look and feel of the show will be unlike anything people have seen before," said Braga. "It's a fascinating conglomeration of futuristic technology in the distant past."

He continued: "The look of these technologies in a prehistoric setting is pretty cool, but having said that, [the characters] don't have all the luxuries [of the future]."

Will the characters still be connected to the 22nd century?

"We won't do standalone stories in the future, but the future will play a part," he explained. "There will be connections to the future that are very mysterious and ongoing, but only as they relate to our characters."

Super 8 (Trailer)

I'm looking forward to this just because of the marketing campaign. Looks like a nice retro alien scifi. Cool.

Though, it looks like it is going the alien encounter filled with wonder route like Close Encounters or ET. I'm not sure if that will work for today's audience. But what do I know?

Paul (Trailer)

Not sure how I feel about this movie. I like my science fiction pretty straight. But this comedy looks quite funny.

Qel'Narin couldn't resist responding to the Star Trek Girl Music Video.

Star Trek: TNG Episode "Code of Honor" reviewed by Qel'Narin

Qel'Narin enjoys a cat fight to the death and Tasha Yar in the review of "Code of Honor."

The Tree of Life (Trailer)

Terrence Malick is a visual poet. He can tell a story only with images. This won't be mainstream. It won't make a lot of money. A lot of people won't "get it." But, I know it will be an amazing film.

Sucker Punch (Trailer)

Honestly, I don't know what to say. Just watch it.
