AVATAR 2, 3, 4 & 5 -WHY THE DELAY?

After watching Avatar in 3-D for the first time since theatres in 2009, I began to think about the long delay in the production of the sequels. I remembered how long it took to bring the original to the screen, a decade to be precise, with talk of "developing something new and innovative". It was…

STAR TREK BEYOND TEASER TRAILER #1

As this is the sequel to two of J.J.Abrams Star Trek movies, as well as one which he is producing and given the fact this is the most prominent trailer promised to run before Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens from Thursday, this Star Trek news has every right to break into nEoFILM's none stop…

GALAXY QUEST

1999 DIRECTOR: Dean Parisot May contain spoilers! "Never give up, never surrender" Considered by many to be one of the best Star Trek films that was never was, even though J.J. Abrams had stated a love for this parody of the much beloved franchise, his two instalments are at least, a league below the quality…

STAR TREK: RENEGADES (WEB TV MOVIE)

2015 DIRECTOR: Tim Russ May contain spoilers! Some where between home made videos of wild antics, raw news footage and movie trailers is the ever growing culture of web shows and movies. Many of them are great, short but professionally produced, unregulated media which have fans across the spectrum but it is also giving rise…

THE OUTER LIMITS: SOLDIER

1964 To start with, it is very rare for us to review a TV show or film, but doubly so to take on just a single episode. But this is a special case. The Outer Limits episode "Soldier" is closely tied into to The Terminator (1984) and along with the later episode, A Demon With…

R.I.P. James Horner – 1963 ~ 2015

Rest In Peace, James. He will be sorely missed but his work will live on for years to come and will certainly be a staple on my iPod, as well as the timeless memorial that his movie work will be, as it is accompanied so many movies which will be rerun for decades to come.

REVIEW OF THE OPTOMA HD141x HD 3D PROJECTOR

Last week was my first real opportunity to run-in and test of the Optima HD141x, and what can I say? After spending my teenage years using 8mm and 16mm projectors, it wasn't until May 2003 that I first moved into LCD projection. I began with a Sanyo PLV-Z1, which was obviously pre-HDMI and in turn, pre-HD and…

STAR TREK VI: THE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY

1991 DIRECTOR: Nicholas Meyer May Contain Spoilers! There have been at least three versions of this film, with the Theatrical Cut which I believe is available on Blu-ray at the moment, the UNCUT version which was available on Video and DVD and a slightly different version of the UNCUT version which was release on the…

STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME

1986 DIRECTOR: Leonard Nimoy May Contain Spoilers! I can remember the anticipation of seeing this back in 1987. I was 8 years old and was already a Trekkie thanks to my Mum. In Star Trek III: The Search For Spock, the Star Trek universe had already opened up, with Starfleet and the Federation finally being…

A BRIEF & PERSONAL HISTORY OF CINEMA…

OVERTURE Self indulgent though this story may appear, this is surely the purpose of blogging. I normally regale you all with my views on film, and have gone onto comment about issues within the genre which have caught my interest, but this is about as personal as I can get. This is the story of how…
